Most of September has already been posted in this post and this post. But these are the days in between family parties and adventures. The quiet time, the normal days of life-before we moved off the boat and after. The rest of our adventures can always …
August started our 2 months of living on the boat in Dana Point Harbor. On the 1st of August I started our summer with a commercial photography shoot in Napa Valley. When I was first asked if I was interested in working on the project …
So far July has been a wonderful month full of family time, ocean fun and lots of work. Between shooting a commercial advertising job for St. Joseph Health System to portrait sessions and lots of family photographs, I had my camera in my …
We spent the month of August living on our boat in Dana Point Harbor. We sailed the s/v Pelican up the coast in ‘gunkhole‘ style, stopping in Mission Bay and Oceanside before docking in Dana. Once settled in, we lived our lives from the boat. Dad went to work every …

A couple of weeks ago it was very wet here in San Clemente and the kids were getting extremely anxious to get outside. I think it was the longest time ever that Kindergarteners at Concordia couldn’t go outside to play all day! At the first sign of dry skies, we headed to Dana Point Harbor for a run and bike ride to the bridge and back.

The whole ‘be cool, not camera aware’ thing is so natural for Merrik and Maliea at this point.

He did much better after I directed him…but I do love this version the best.
It’s been a month since we have been able to get out and about for a simple visit to the Dana Point Harbor. I love the end-of-day respites with my parents and my kids. Usually we stop what we’re doing around 6:00pm and head to the San Clemente pier or …
