Happy New Year!

    2009 was a successful year at Rancho Photos as we shot over 30 beautiful homes.  As a way of looking back over 2009, we thought it would be fun to pick out all the homes that really stood out in different ways.  So we have selected our favorite homes for each of the categories below.
