Pink Power

We were once again fortunate to be asked to photograph the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Sacramento Valley Survivors' Reception. Being able experience the incredible energy that these beautifully courageous women have is inspiring. Brandi's mom is a survivor and we are thankful every day that there is this wonderful organization out there to help promote research for a cure and also educate and support women as they battle this disease.

This event is always a great evening. Last year they had a Cher impersonator that brought the house down. This year, they played a little Komen Idol. All of your favorite Idol personalities were there, including the host Ryan (Edie Lambert) Seacrest. I do have to say that a few of the singers were "a little pitchy", but everyone had a great time and they sang their hearts out. As has been the case the last several years, Edie Lambert was the host for the evening. She has been a great ambassador for the Sacramento Valley chapter for years, and always has some touching stories that inspire the attendees. This year, along with her stories, she also announced to the crowd that she and her husband were expecting their first child. The crowd was also entertained by the choral group Reconciliation Singers Voices of Peace. Check them out at http://www.rsvpchoir.org/

Please go visit http://www.komensacramento.org to find out more about this organization and find out how you can help find a cure. Also, if you can, sign up for the Race for the Cure, which is being held at Cal Expo on May 8th. We would love to see you all out there. We will be photographing the teams and the race.

Beautiful - Bekah and Caleb's Engagement

We are so stoked to have the honor of shooting Bekah and Caleb's wedding this June on Bekah's family farm in Wisconsin.  They wanted to have their engagement shoot in San Francisco, as it holds a special place in their hearts.  Caleb proposed to Bekah in front of the Palace of Fine Arts after he picked her up from the airport when she came to visit him (Caleb lives in Modesto).  We had a fantastic time shooting with them.  The City was beautiful, the weather was beautiful, and as you can see below, the couple was absolutely beautiful.

Enjoy!
