Brittany and I made it to the Folsom Renaissance Faire earlier this month and had a great time photographing the cast of characters they had there. Brittany got a little nervous when the crazy lady in the cage started smearing oatmeal on her head and yelling to her. You just have to expect that in [...]

Happy National Root Beer Float Day!
