a day with friends | Swanson • Caymus • Mumm

yesterday i ventured out for the first time without the baby, and enjoyed the most fabulous day with three amazing friends.  we grabbed the bubbles, jumped into the limo and spent the day sipping, noshing and laughing at three of our favorite spots- swanson vineyards, caymus vineyards and mumm.  sadly enough, even with two professional photographers in the group, none of us made it out of our homes that morning with our cameras- thank goodness for iPhones!  here's a little glimpse of our day.

near and dear to my heart - a private napa valley residence

earlier this summer i had the pleasure of photographing this amazing property in oakville, california.   

not only is the estate beyond fabulous in too many ways to count, it holds a special place in my heart as some of the most significant moments and celebrations throughout my life have taken place there.  strolling through the grounds, sitting on the tennis court and walking down the driveway as i shot this 

piece of napa valley heaven, was like walking through the memories of my youth.

this is just a peek.  i look forward to sharing more with you in time.
