I recently took a parenting class and one of the main things I learned about was letting go. Letting go of control of your kids’ behavior and letting go of your anger over your kids’ behavior. It has helped make my experience being around a 2 and a 5 year …

I have been racking my brain for some awesome new locations for my holiday “Short But Sweet” sessions. I usually choose a spot and settle in for a couple of hours in the morning and evening on two different days as you come with your family for your 20 min of fame. These sessions cost $75 and include a 5×7 digital file of your select or a $25 credit toward your purchase if you do prints or my custom designed cards through me. I will also be offering “In A Nutshell” (30 min. mini sessions) discounted for this time of …
I was recently featured in an article by the amazing Rebecca Jane Lacko, LA Parenting Examiner. She also writes a Green Living column so check that out too. Her articles are smart, informative and clever. Plus, I am looking forward to doing some more collaborative projects with her!
We had a huge swell hit our beaches this weekend and of course we were on our way to Thousand Oaks. It never fails. Whenever there is an amazing swell, Jim either has a swim meet or a pending project that forces him to work long hours or on the weekend. This time I had a hard time leaving the beauty and awe of a gorgeous swell too. Usually I am completely unphased by such an event but it has been so long since we’ve seen any waves around here I was dying to soak up their energy just by …

I really tried to let go of all the beautiful, joyous details in the latest images I took at ‘Baby Beach’ in Dana Point Harbor. I was so inspired by Maria Luisa Morando’s White series that I tried to do what she was doing in her work but just wasn’t brave enough. She is a goddess to be able to let go of so much and trust in the details that were left behind in her images.
Thanks to my friend Cindy, I was introduced to the work of Maria Luisa Morando. She says that my latest ‘tiny people‘ images remind her of Maria’ White Series. I am in awe of this work. It reminds me of what I am doing with my current work but completely stripped down and pure and evolved. It’s gorgeous and I love it and I am inspired.
On Sunday we ventured on down to the San Clemente Ocean Festival. Jim was signed up to compete in the open water swims so we wanted to see him and get in a little beach time. The beach was packed with people from Linda Lane to T-Street. Lots of bikinis and wet surf trunks graced the beach trail and pier. We hung out at the NOVA tent to stay out of the sun and have snacks then took a walk on the pier to check out the old woody cars and watch the Stand Up Paddle Board contest. I thought …
