film. babies. saturday.

I love these photographs. You will see a lot more of this handsome little guy soon, he is coming to visit!
We were doing flowers for a wedding, all the ladies talking and spending wonderful time together. It was beautiful lighting and beautiful subjects.

30 years ago today

My mom and dad were leaving the house for her scheduled c-section and when they stepped outside my dad took this picture of her and I. Thank you mom and dad for everything, I am who I am because of you... and some strong personality traits. love you so much!

(please note: my mom really didn't want me to post this picture. I told her it was the only one I had from this day, sorry mom! we all love your ice skater hair!)

musica for fall

hi friends!
so I have been listening to lots of wonderful music lately and I can't help but notice when certain songs really fit the mood of the season. So I thought I would share some of the bands and artists that I feel really fit the cooling weather and falling leaves. (those of you in southern california have to imagine what this must be like) so here is what I came up with so far, please feel free to add to the list in the comment section!

please note: I can't take credit for any of the music I am exposed to, Scott has terribly good taste and I merely peruse his vast collection and choose by chance.
here you go!

• fleet foxes
• the decemberists (the crane wife in particular)
• iron & wine
• grizzly bear
• jolie holland
• murder by death
• pinback
• the coral sea (volcano & heart) thanks kim!
• the national
• she & him
• bon iver

I just put these all on a playlist and push shuffle!
happy october and happy fall.

wardrobe/location change!

This was such a great morning of capturing lots of good shots of this adorable little guy and his beautiful mom. I am so excited to take their family portraits soon, when his dad gets home! woo hoo!

dress the part

i love when people redesign things.

found here. designed by Moxy Creative, you can see the whole collection & buy them here.

sneak peek :landon:

more photographs from this fun fall day coming soon.

affordable art

There are some really good websites out there where you can buy art at affordable prices. This is one that I thought was really interesting and wanted to share. It's Urban Outfitters Print Shop. This cool illustration of cameras is titled "take some pictures" by Valentina Ramos, you can buy it here.
There are so many options and at these prices, there is no excuse not to have beautiful art in your home. And you are supporting someone who is living their dream, everyone wins.
another really great site is 20x200. happy shopping!

kim + jon

we were at a wedding and these photos are me taking advantage of the candlelight. these two are recently engaged and seeing them together is happiness. these are not their engagement pictures; hopefully we will all be in the same state again soon to make that happen.

usually newborns are sleepy types, not this little guy. he was up and ready for adventures! it was an absolute joy to spend the morning with this family. i love my job.

family photo art

I love this room. I especially love the large underwater photograph, the size really makes it feel like a work of art. Found here. Via one of my favorite blogs. And the house belongs to this designer.
happy monday/columbus day!
