Nothing like a few setbacks to make a Grand Opening celebration all the sweeter! I had originally intended on a Spring opening…you know…just before the busy season. Yes, that would have been perfect.

I got the call just days before. Poor Becky had been laid up recovering from knee surgery when it suddenly occurred to her she hadn’t hired a photographer to document the momentous occasion of her parent’s 50th wedding anniversary and family reunion at Chico Hot Springs Lodge. Far be it from me to say I’m...
There’s just something about family reunions that I love. Grown brothers & sisters with families of their own reconnecting. Cousins playing. Grandparents doting on their newest great-grandchild.
