This morning it was a bit chilly but sunrise was great at Heart 6 Ranch in Moran. Below Jesse Rodenbough, the ranch manager, rides towards the gathered horses in the opening light of morning with the Tetons in the distance. I love photos like this, you can feel the quiet and stillness of morning and on this particular day see the high waters of the Buffalo Fork river that’s pushing into the valley.

A great location near Moose Wyoming and where I’ve shoot a few times before. Yesterday the light was a bit flat so I’ll head back later today.

I’m on the road right now in Wyoming, Wapiti to be exact, and I’ve been shooting at Rimrock Ranch. To say it beautiful would be an understatement and for now, with little time, I’ll just share a few photos from this morning as rider gathered horses at the ranch.

Sunset last evening was in the Carneros area of Napa where vineyards stretch along seemingly every mile. The drive was beautiful, the light a bit flat in the still lingering heat of the day but I was able to capture this one photo that was of interest.

It’s a great location and I’ll return to shoot again as I know the shot would have been better with a tripod and standing on my car for a bit of elevation.

More or less last evening was a scouting shoot for future photos it was also a time to simply drink in what is about to be come my home – Napa.

I’ve always loved the hills of Northern California – winter for the depth of green and summer for the golden grasses. This photo was taken this morning just after sunrise not too far from Napa. Tonight I’ll have the opportunity to shoot sunset in Napa Valley and look forward to the vineyards, that are thick with grapevines, and the rolling hills and mountains that surround the area.

Emily and Jason were married on Saturday at the stately Bischwind in an outdoor wedding that slipped in before the rain storm and then they were off to the Westmoreland Club. It was a perfect day, even with the rain, and everyone sparkled and had an amazing time.
