Rob and Nikki got married on a cold, drizzly day in February. They decided at the lat minute that they wanted to do a first look so we all piled into Nikki’s car with Rob in a blindfold in the back and drove to the Elk River Road Covered Bridge. There’s nothing like building anticipation […]

They attended schools as far south as South Fork High School, all the way to St. Bernard’s Catholic School, with a few Fortuna High and Ferndale guys sprinkled in. A few of them made the […]

Surrendering

Humboldt County Engagement Session/Nick and Larissa/Shelter Cove/

Becca is a girl after my own heart. She is shy and sweet, a tomboy athlete. Just like I was in high school. Who am I kidding? I still am. We both attended Rio Dell Elementary School and Fortuna Union HIgh. Becca and her mother and sister journeyed down to Southern Humboldt to take her […]
