When this family contacted me to do a shoot in the East Bay, I had to leave the location up to Momma. You see, I have no idea where anything is there and had to use my GPS just to make it in one piece 
She suggested downtown Lafayette- perfect. I got there a few minutes early so I could scout out some places I thought would set the mood for our shoot that day. I found some cute urban walls and textures and but that wasn’t enough for what I was looking for. The sky was a gorgeous shade of blue and I could see huge green rolling hills in the distance. I needed me some huge green rolling hills. I took off out of the little town and saw a sign for HAPPY PEOPLE LANE! Yes, Happy People Lane! And this street lived up to it’s name. It looked like a scene out of a movie, complete with trimmed hedges and white picket fences. I passed happy people on bikes in front of houses with American flags waving. Happy People Lane Indeed!
Here you can see downtown Lafayette and some of the interesting colors and textures it offered. I found a display window with framed maps that I fell in love with. I am obsessed with maps!
I also wanted to mention an article my fellow photographer wrote on how to pick a good photographer. It is a good read, and to top it off- she mentions me specifically in the article! Check it out: HOW TO PICK A GOOD PHOTOGRAPHER by: Amy Ro
