Shooting at the beautiful home of Lois Chambers is always such a pleasure. Last year, when I first met Lois, whom I proclaimed “Sonoma Valley’s Martha Steward,” I blogged about it with much enthusiasm here. Last weekend, I jumped at the opportunity to spend another beautiful Sunday with the amazing ladies of the Sonoma Valley Worm Farm (that’s right, its one of a kind!).
To Mary Jane, Melanie, Sally and Megan, Congratulations on your growing family! Charlie Grace is indeed very fortunate to be coming into this world with such amazing ladies to welcome her. Also, Thank you for allowing me to share these special moments with you.
Special shout-out to all the AH-maaayyyyzing women who helped make it possible, Mary Jane Arner, Melanie, Sally, Lois, Amy, Nicole and everyone else not mentioned here
Also, based on a special request by Melanie and Sally, we’d like to thank none other than, Bruno Mars!
Congratulations to Lisa & Mark on their intimate nuptials in Carmel, CA. On Friday afternoon, we literally just drove along Highway 1 and found a quaint beach past Monterey bay, just off the coast of Carmel, California. With there closest family members by their side, they said “I do” and it was beautiful. There were no fancy invites, no big parties, no frills and no miscellaneous distractions, just simple promises. . . and that is all that was needed. . .and within one hour, we were done! Thank you Lisa & Mark for allowing me to be a part of your special day. . . I wish you the best as Husband & Wife! Love, Arie
A Happy Birthday to the 64-year old children of Midnight – India & Pakistan. May peace, trust, prosperity & joy be our gifts this 65th year! . . .May the next 64 years bring even more progress, joy and peace to ALL the people of India and our neighbours.
Had to finally dig through thousands of my India images to present these as a small token of my affection to the Motherland. As seen below, the Indian flag in my room along with the India Gate and the Change of Guard ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan {President’s House} in New Delhi, India.
