Caught the tail end of the prescribed burn at the north end of town tonight at Healdsburg Open Space Preserve. Most of the work with torches was done earlier in the day, but as they worked on the last of the bone piles and cleaned up from the days work, there was low sun and lots of good examples of the ways this work helps reduce fuels and make the parks clean and beautiful. There will be residual smokes and dead/down trees and stumps burning out for the next couple of days, but with the rain on its way it's the perfect time to do this work. Great collaboration with City of Healdsburg Fire Department and CAL FIRE to get this done for our community.

Just had to post a few photos of this family and their beautiful senior. We had such a wonderful afternoon at Goat Rock Beach!

City of Healdsburg Fire Department responded to reported structure fire today on one of my favorite streets in town. Sad to see smoke and flames coming from his old house, but glad occupants were out and had called as soon as they realized something was going on. Assisted by CalFIRE, Northern Sonoma County Fire District, Sonoma County Fire District as well as Santa Rosa Fire Department who helped cover the city while crews worked to get things under control. Quick action and teamwork helped get business taken care of. Even got a young onlooker a sticker and helmet as he couldn't contain himself from looking on at the hero's.

A little behind on editing but this year's Wine Country to the Rescue photos are up for viewing. Rather than post them here in multiple posts, here is the link to my website for them. Lots of good people in attendance and much fun was had!!! Always one of my favorite weekends of summer! And it raises so much support for our local Northern Sonoma County Fire District, and surrounding agencies. Huge shout out to the app team this year for such an amazing sponsorship along with Trentadue Winery and so many others. If you don't already have the app, go download it now. Fire season is just starting to hit us!

I had fun photographing tonights fireworks show in Healdsburg. It's always interesting to see what I get because you have no idea what it's going to be when you start the shutter. Good show and good company. Incredible group who does all this work to put it on for everyone.

Just before 10:00pm last night a structure fire was toned out. When I walked out side I could see the glow from a couple streets down. We walk by this house often on the evening walk and it was sad to see a neighbor in this terrible situation. City of Healdsburg Fire Department, CAL Fire, Northern Sonoma County Fire District, Sonoma County Fire District all responded and quickly got things under control. The owner had just previously packed their togo bag for them and their four dogs which thankfully made it out safely. This allowed them to quickly have what they needed for last night as they could not return home. A great reminder to have smoke detectors around the house and get your go back with medications, and important documents.

Honored to be able to shoot the 2025 Northern Sonoma County Fire District new hire badge pinning last week. Great group of people who already have been serving their community and now are permanent part of this great organization. Congratulations to the agency and all of you!

I never do a good job of sharing my client photos. Partially because I'm very busy with life and just don't make a good habit of doing so. But, this wedding was more than just a wedding. This was the wedding of my very own niece who is like my "daughter" because I only had boys. Being able to not only be there to support her on her very special day, but to document and see the love these two have together was more than I could have imagined. It was much harder to edit these as often I was overcome with emotion from that day and reliving it all over again. I remember the day she came home from the hospital and every moment we have been able to be with her since. From an infant, through her high school graduation, through her finishing nursing school. She's an amazing girl who found an amazing boy. Couldn't be more proud or love them more. While it was a challenge to make sure that I took the family photo and was in it (thank you to my assistant husband, my sister-in-law and a tripod), the day was perfect. This small Beverly Hills old Hollywood wedding will forever be one of the favorites I've shot and I had to share it. Congratulations Mr & Mrs Parra. Can't wait to see how the love story continues.
