Love Story Part 6

Over Memorial Day weekend, I had the chance to get out with Mike and Kelsey for our last photo shoot before Baby Liliana arrives. It was a sunny evening among a lot of cloudy ones. This time of year it’s hard to find a sunny day. In the coastal areas of Southern California we have…

I’m Building a Ship

Today I was reminded of a blog post I shared from David DuChemin. He is one of my favorite photographer/writers. His blog and Facebook pages are full of inspiration and motivation. I have a couple of his books, I’m a fan. Anyway, I reposted a blog entry he wrote about building your own ship. Your…

Lemonade Happiness

This past weekend I spent most of my time packing up our rental and hand painting wall tiles. I’ll have to tell you about those tiles another time. As I was packing stuff up, and showing our apartment to potential new residents, I realized we were leaving the fruit trees behind. Besides our neighbors, I’ll…

Here we are, almost one year ago. Mike and Kelsey got married and promised their hearts to one another in front of their friends and family. I really can’t believe it was almost a year ago. It was a wonderful day and the wedding was so sweet and emotional. We could really feel the love…

California Sweetness

When I get back from my ranch visits there are certain things I have to do here. One of them is to clean up the tree trunks in the back yard along with weeding around them and picking the fruit. As I was breaking all the new little shoots off the tree trunks today, I…

Liquid Hope

There are just some mornings … When I make the coffee, and it smells WONDERFUL. The sun is peeking up and lighting little spots around the kitchen like promises of new beginnings. The aroma of warm and rich, deep roasted coffee engulfing the kitchen, my brain, my heart. I just stood here and took a…

Light Love

As a photographer, I’m always fascinated by light. It amazes me at how it can change the way an object looks. I love the way it can change a room, or the shape of things. One of my favorite things to do is light one thing in a lot of different ways, just to watch…

Sunglass Campaign Revisited

When I was in school for photography one of the things I loved most about it was all of the assignments we were given. I was never at a loss for what to shoot. I was actually scrambling to get all of my photo shoots done for each assignment. I remember one of my favorite instructors telling…
