This family reunion was held in South Lake Tahoe this past Saturday - last time they were all together was 1999!
Great people and I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with all of them!!

]]>After the 1906 earthquake, many wealthy San Francisco Families relocated to the Peninsula and built large estates. A number of these families made their fortunes in the railroad, mining, banking and mercantile boom of America's Gilded Age. Filoli is the last of these estates remaining on all it's original 654 acres. Built by Mr. and Mrs. William Bowers Bourn II, who lived here between 1917 and 1936, the estate was sold to Mr. and Mrs. William P. Roth in 1937. In 1975, Mrs. Roth donated the estate to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Today the property is open to the public from February through October with the help of more than 1,000 volunteers.
Mr. Bourn created the name "Filoli" by combining the first two letters from the key words of his credo: FIght for a just cause, LOve your fellow man; LIve a good life."

]]>Malissa is a photographer herself, and has a lot of photographs of Kailea, but not many of the two of them together.
]]>Getting in close and really focusing on the window to the soul is the goal!!

]]>Boudoir is such a fun type of photography, even though I have a horrible time spelling BOUDOIR - Danielle is a professional hair stylist in Roseville, CA and we had a great day shooting her sexy side! She also has a great sense of humor which is important in getting a natural pose and a relaxed setting. Let's face it, this can be a little intimidating to be so exposed on camera. Being a people person as they say is important and letting go and allowing things to be unscripted is crucial in getting your subject to look as natural as possible and get them to loosen up and show their natural side. This session was shot at my photo studio in Colfax.
