Cathy, Chris and their yellow lab, Callie live in Southern California but were up in my neck of the woods on a relaxing vacation. Every year they do photos at a different location, and this year they chose the natural beauty of Northern California! Cathy requested poppy's, but my gosh, I could NOT find a poppy field to save my life! Side of the highway? Yep. In the median of a busy road? Yep. Somewhere that we could actually shoot? Nope! We settled for pretty purple flowers and flowy grasses down at Negro Bar in Folsom :)
