Ashley + Monty Engagement


So much fun photographing these two.  I've known Monty since he was in high school, and have photographed him many times.  When I was taking photography classes many years ago, I hand painted a black and white photograph of him leaning on a fence - my first effort at hand coloring.  That was in the early 1990s!

Ashley is a sweetheart.   Loved getting to know her a little better.  One of the absolute pleasures of being a photographer is that I get to connect with family, friends and clients quickly.   This creates a special bond that I cherish.

Thank you Suzanne!

I actually still have that hand painted photo from back in high school in my room in Sonoma.

Both Ashley and I really enjoyed catching up with you. What a fun experience and as Ashley mentioned above, you really do make us look good.

I look forward to celebrating with you.
