new work : morgan hill

When Deanne O’Connor called me and asked me if I could fly the west coast to shoot a cover for the Visit Morgan Hill visitor’s guide, I started packing my bags and jumped into action booking flights and assistants, hiring cars and looking at maps and logistics. What a joy to collaborate with the teams from @WanderlustContentStudio and @visitmorganhillca to create this lovely cover.

I have seriously pined for a horse from birth. Yes literally!
