Robert Mondavi Winery
I’ve finished a little bit of editing from my weekend jaunt to Napa, CA. On Saturday we travelled around to a couple of wineries and a few other scenic spots to take some landscape photos. We were able to spend about 1/2 hour in the high end Cabernet room at Mondavi. That was very fun.

We also found a little pond with some wildlife and spent about 45 minutes there.
Canadian Goose on Pond
I’m not real fond of Canadian Geese, however I thought this guy looked very charming on this little pond.
Red Winged Black Bird vs. the Great White Heron
We witnessed a battle between a pair of black birds and a Heron. The Heron must have been a little too close to the black birds’ nest so they tried to warn him off. It was pretty interesting to watch.
We also stopped at several other wineries and I was able to capture some pretty flower pictures.
Dogwood
The above photo was taken at Beringer Winery in St. Helena. By the time we arrived at this winery, the sun was high in the sky and so I needed to find things in the shade to photograph.
Wisteria
The next day, I spent the entire day at Behren’s Family Winery on top of Spring Mountain. I was with a group of photographers and some wonderful models. Here are a couple of my shots:
John in the Wine Cave
Krista
These are two of my favorite models. I’ve shot them several times over the years and it’s great to see them grow in their modeling careers. I have lots more shots, but I haven’t had time to edit them. I will post more later.
If you want to schedule a fun photo shoot with me, shoot me an email at schmautzhaus@sbcglobal.net. I promise it will be quick and fun!
Keli was a lot of fun and I wish her the best of success on her book.
