I’ve had a lot of fun lately taking photos at a wonderful restaurant in Carmel called Bistro 211. The chef, owner, and very cool guy, Jon Magnusson often hosts top-notch musical guests at his restaurant so you get to eat delicious food and listen to beautiful music at the same time. Thank you to the friendly staff, musicians, and patrons who were so patient with my presence! Below are just a few of my favorite photos from several different sessions. The guitarists are Storm Nilson and Renzo Staiano and you can visit their websites here www.stormnilson.com and here www.staianomusic.com. I will update this post later with information about the beautiful cellist and harpist. You can visit the website for more information about Bistro 211 here www.bistro2111.com.

Here are a few of my favorites from a series of Princess at work in her studio in Pacific Grove. She is a terrific painter, a competitive fencer, and a mom! Impressive to say the least, and hey- she’s also really nice! Visit her website here www.princessrashid.com and her blog here www.mediciclub.blogspot.com.

Here are a few photos from a session I did with Marilet. She is lovely and a very talented print maker. You can visit her website here www.mariletpretorius.com.
