The Schoonhoven Family

Over Thanksgiving break my family went to my Aunt's house to celebrate the holiday with them, and so I did their Christmas picture in their backyard. They have a gorgeous home on a large, nicely landscaped plot of land with a barn, so there were a few nice areas to take pics.

The David Family

Bessie asked me if to do her family's Christmas pictures, and of course I said yes. She knew that she wanted to do them out in Napa, but wasn't sure where. We ended up driving and the sun was setting as we ended up at the Opus One Winery. This winery has a really really cool grass covered pyramid type of structure surrounded by vineyards and the last rays of the setting sun just made it that much more perfect.

The Petit Family

The Petit family has some of the cutest kids around, and my mom did their Christmas pictures last year, so I was excited to get to do a shoot with them this year!

The Rippee Family

I took the Rippee family out scouting for a location, and we ended up in a gorgeous vineyard late in the afternoon.
