Bon Voyage Fog & On To Sunny Napa
Nick surprised me a couple weekends ago with a romantic weekend in Napa at the Carneros Inn. We were going up to water my mom’s lawn while she was out of town, and he told me to pack for a couple days. Little did I think we would end up in such a blissful spot. [...]
Sunshine & Greenery in Napa
A couple weeks ago Nick and I drove up to Napa to visit my mom and take a hike with her. I’ve been teaching Nick more about photography, so he’s taken over on a lot of our “shoots” and he’s been doing a great job of capturing the true essence of our surroundings. Napa is [...]

I fell in love with the film and the method in which a long series of sometimes unrelated photographs can be streamed together with sound to create a story. I have actually been collecting images and stories [...]
San Francisco Morning
Lately I’ve been falling asleep way to late and waking up way too early. Usually I just lie in bed, frustrated that my herbal tea isn’t working. But while in San Francisco for our wedding (yes, I am now a married woman) I decided that instead of lying in bed with a million thoughts running [...]
