Baby Almond, Santa Rosa, CA – March 2016
The moment that I found out my friends were having their fourth child, I knew I wanted to help them out with photos, and I was honored to be asked. It was absolute joy to spend time in the little baby world, newly arrived at home, and just beginning to get an idea of the world.
It’s another one of those times where I consider adding to my little family, just because I miss some of those parts – the tiny toes, the funny arm flail as they learn their limbs, skin to skin contact…

Agador Spartacus, Napa, CA – November 2015
We recently added to our family by adopting an adorable rescue puppy! He flew into California from a rescue in Guatemala called Unidos Para los Animales. As soon as I saw that he was from Guatemala then I knew I had to name him Agador Spartacus, though I suspect we will eventually call him Aggie. 🙂
Archetype, St Helena, CA – November 2015
One of my favorite restaurants in the Napa Valley, Archetype, recently began to offer a beautiful brunch menu five days per week, and I was lucky enough to tackle some of the Chef Ryder Zetts’ “classic with a contemporary twist” dishes. The cinnamon walnut roll with orange cream cheese was the most amazing thing I have ever eaten for breakfast. Check out the pics and try not to drool.
Lauryn & Pete, Carneros, CA – October 2015
Lauryn and Pete celebrated their two year wedding anniversary a few weeks ago, and to commemorate, a photoshoot took place in a lovely Carneros vineyard. It was an amazing experience, photographing the love that was shining in their eyes when they looked at each other – seriously, guys: they were so adorable I practically squee’d.
So grateful for the opportunity to share these beautiful moments.

Monterey, CA – August 2015
Last month I took Marco on a special weekend trip to Monterey before school started. We spent the evening walking around Cannery Row, eating ice cream at Ghirardelli Chocolate, and cuddling. The next day we adventured around the Monterey Bay Aquarium, where the jellyfish held our attention for most of the afternoon.

Insects, Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, CA – July 2015
I took my son to the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco this week, and we had some fun looking at the different insects in the Osher Rainforest. Butterflies landed on our heads and fluttered off to find more interesting foliage.
