Heather and Nick Engagement

When Heather and Nick suggested doing their engagement photos in their own backyard, we were hesitant. Just like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. But their yard had plenty of character and we had great fun working with them!

Bodie Ghost Town

Bodie Ghost Town is the official ghost town of California. A mining boom town, it was known as a rough place with killings nearly every day. It was a place so tough that one little girl who learned she was moving there wrote, "Goodbye God, I am going to Bodie."

Today it is a town forgotten by time. The historical society keeps the town in a state of arrested decay. Basically, they are not restoring the town but are maintaining it so it does not crumble and fade away.

We recently spent a few hours in Bodie and if you have never been, I hope these photos entice you to visit.
