Check it out when you have time and let me know what you think!
For now, I’m going to try blogging from the new site, but I won’t be cancelling this tumblr yet. I need to feel out whether or not I like the new site blog.

I’ve never taken a client down to my “home away from home” Leeway Sailing Center (where for the last decade I’ve taught adults how to sail 14ft boats on the weekends) But these two suggested it, so I couldn’t resist! Turns out, it was a perfect setting, and I’m really proud of what the three of us created.
Thank you Tim and Chelle for hiring me so that I could craft some of my favorite portraiture work.

Shooting in near dark or just plain dark is NEVER easy, especially for a wedding assignment. Turns out Adam and Sandra decided to have their wedding during this time. Then, factor in central gloomy coast, AND it was raining most of the day. Not ideal for a typical wedding you might have in mind!
Ideally, a photographer wants classic and beautiful natural light-you know the kind-magic hour-warm, and lots of color and highlights. Instead, we got non-classic, and a bit flat, but the couple were thrilled with what we got and so was I! Adam and Sandra were great to photograph and quirky and fun to boot!
Adam & Sandra Monica - Part 2: Wedding Party
In the past, I’ve been pretty selective about which weddings I photograph, maybe I should start advertising???
Last weekend I spent the day in Oxnard with Adam and Sandra and their close family and friends. I was there to photograph their special day, but it turned out to be pretty special for me too since Adam is my cousin and the Monica’s are my mom’s family!

It looks as though I use the work “shooting” way too much in all my web related descriptions. The good news is at least my site is officially out there in Google world. Thanks for sharing the discovery Danny!
I recently returned from a few days in Utah. From the photographs, it’s obvious how gorgeous the scenery was. These images were captured while on a day hike up “Mill B” trail in Big Cottonwood Canyon. This was a my first real fall color experience, so I made sure to bring along the 7D with the 24-105. I’m hiking with my brother-in-law Kurt and my friend Jenny.
Paloma and “McFly” (her daily borrowed curly-haired friend) take to the water on top of a stand up paddle board (SUP) a few times a week to exercise, play, meditate, and practice yoga. I followed them from my kayak for a beautiful morning adventure the day after the rain fell.

With the help of my friend Jenny, and feelin’ good from a cup of great tasting coffee, I realized how important photography REALLY is in a person’s life. As a professional photographer, my father as been tracking us with his camera all of our lives. Because of that, we have a wonderful collection of photographs ranging in types from chrome (slide film) to old black and white and now with digital color technology. I am truely grateful for the professionally captured memories I will have forever.
Cheers!
Bernadette
