Pictilio: Around The Web

Never Imagined

We’re on our way to Palm Springs to shoot a wedding and it got me thinking.

I never imagined having a job that would bring me such fun opportunities. I never imagined owning my own business, or being a photographer. Which then got me thinking…

Angel Island Bike Ride

When I have someone coming for a visit, I love playing tour guide but I do try to avoid the areas that attract the most tourists. My favorite location to share with people currently is Angel Island, but I’m shocked at how many of my local friends have never been.

Dan+Sarah A Photo Date

For as far back as I have memories of my cousin Dan, I have memories of Sarah.

Dan and Sarah met in the halls of Hazelwood Central High School the week before school started. While most kids were dreading the first day of school, these two were full of anticipation.

This is when Dan became forever Dan + Sarah in my...
