off for work...

from a recent shoot at lovely Claire's house (lucky me too b/c her home is AMAZING). 

So Elijah and I are off for work up in the Carmel/Big Sur (majestic) part of California. I'll be pretty busy shooting and when not doing that will be most likely staring at trees and going on some nice walks with Elijah and V.v. So I just want to wish you a lovely weekend now. See you next week!

Away we went

wildflowers of Yosemite---took everything in me to not pick them

I am so grateful to California and all her graceful beauty. It is so massive. Our road-trip last week was incredibly awe-inspiring and liberating (no cell reception). Nothing puts things into perspective quite like a return to nature, don't you think? I also have never swam in as many lakes, so clean, fresh and turquoise blue, than I did on this trip. Mother Nature, I love you. 

Wild lupine, mountain pennyroyal, larkspur, clover, phlox and poppies were in bloom in all the meadows and fields...it really was breathtaking. If only I could have a wildflower pop-up shop there...

out of the office

until Saturday. Have a really lovely week*

travels...

I cannot even begin to describe the gratitude that comes from shooting film and then processing it and getting photos back that really make my heart sing. I wanted to share a little bit with you. It seems like Elijah, V.v. and I have been doing a lot of moving around and a lot of eating along the way. It's always a little bit of a gamble when I bring along my old 35mm and polaroids and in the middle of lugging them around the idea that it might be all in vain is always in the back of my mind...and then this happens...I get some really beautiful shots. Not all of them, mind you, but just enough. I hope that you like these too.

p.s. sorry it's been so long!

Apple Hill!

The family, Elijah, V.V. and I are off to Apple Hill in Northern California for a quick road-trip getaway! Have you been there? I've heard amazing things about this beautiful little town amongst a sea of apple orchards and I feel so giddy with delight that I get to go with my family! See you when I get back!

(I cannot remember where I got the photo from above. Have you seen it? Who can I credit? So sorry about this...)*
