Holistic Dentist Lifestyle Shoot

Is it a dental office... or a spa?! Wow, John VanCamp has the most gorgeous office and relaxing energy. Clients look forward to their appointments with him, where he works with the newest technologies in the most gorgeous setting.

We had the best time on this shoot, not only because John is so fun to hang out with, but also because we got to work with the amazing design team, Good Stuff Partners, who will be using our photos and doing a total re-brand of John's website! 

Here's a peek at the photos and we can't wait to share the new website soon!

A Fall Wedding at The Stone House in Nevada City // Liz + Scott

A love concoction bubbled wildly during the wedding ceremony! A bride's maid dressed up as Harry Potter during toasts. Fuzzy germs were handed out as prizes. Liz + Scott's wedding at the Stone House in Nevada City was a wonderfully unique expression of their love and life together. These weren't the only surprises -- there was also a petting zoo and a fuzzy slipper toss. The whole day was an unapologetic celebration of this super talented and visionary duo! We were thrilled to be there to photograph all the fun and love! There will never be another wedding quite like this one. Everywhere you looked, you could find little details and inside jokes telling the story of these two extraordinary people's lives together. We never did get the story behind the rubber duckies - you'll have to ask them. It's supposed to be a great story. Just like their wedding, these two go above and beyond. Congratulations love birds!!

Traveling with Kids in California // Truckee and Lake Tahoe

Fall colors are hard to find in the Bay Area, since our weather is so mild, but head east, into the Sierras and the trees burst into color come October! We spent a glorious four days in Truckee, where the gorgeous Cedar House Sport Hotel hosted us while we were in town. Such a luxurious stay -- hot tub, a huge suite and the most delicious breakfast every morning in the Stella restaurant. 

The weather had already dipped to cool, but we still got plenty of outdoor time. Juniper was so bold and got her feet in the freezing lake water, while we kept little Wilder bundled up and cozy as can be.

The Sierras in California are one of the most beautiful places in the world. The huge granite stones, crisp water and endless green. And it's only three hours away in the car -- or four -- or six... if you have kids ;) Hehe! 

We hope you enjoy the this travel diary of photos from our trip!
