Weekend Away

It's nice once in awhile to just get away for the weekend, see new sights, and refresh. That's how I always feel after visiting some old family friends--refreshed. The Moonsamy family is really just the nicest, happy people I know. I missed hearing them sing this time, but the meal at the Indian Restaurant was an awesome experience!

Live Chat with Dane Sanders

When Dane posted a few weeks ago asking people to email him if they were in the Truckee area, I was all over it. Who knew that he comes up here every year and wrote a huge chunk of Fast Track Photographer at Truckee Book & Bean. Ever since I attended the Fast Track Workshop, I've been making steps towards running my business more like a business and trying to figure out my branding. 'Trying' being the key word there.

So imagine how you would feel if such a guy like Dane offered to mentor you and help to clarify your brand. Yep, that's exactly how I felt! Watch me stutter and stumble as Dane helps me to develop a clearer vision for my business. In the end, I came away with some great tips and food for thought. I have my work cut out for me! Thanks Dane for doing this! I never would have dreamed of being a special guest on AskDane! Thanks everyone for watching and supporting me. You all had some great advice, and I look forward to interacting more with you in the future!

I apologize ahead of time for the funny laugh, bangs that had a bad hair day, and cheesy smile. It's just me being real in more ways than you wanted. ;-) And there's no Photoshop for live broadcasting! Watch the replay of "Train Wreck or Possibilities."

Nevada City Senior Portraits | Elizabeth

When my youngest sister graduated from high school, we only had time to quickly go out one afternoon and take some pictures for wallets to stuff in her invitations. I promised her we'd go back out and get more pictures when we had more time. I just didn't tell her how long it would be before it actually happened. Well, here we are, over a year later. You can't say I don't keep my promises! This is the beauty of "Just Because" sessions. You don't need a reason to get your picture taken. Life changes so quickly. The time to capture this season of life is now...because...well, just because.









Old Town Nevada City has some of the quaintest shops and cutest houses.




It also has the coolest neighborhood vegetable stand!
