Someone had a birthday!!! T was shockingly cool with a room full of people looking at and singing to her and I am almost as proud of her good nature, curiosity, and daily developments as I am of us for accomplishing my vision of a rainbow bites table. Thanks @mschremm for the rare photo of all 3 of us.
Doing some test shots in our home...architectural digest always appreciates a mega purell bottle on the credenza, right?
It’s so rare for me to get up on a rooftop in SF and so worth it when I do
Wheeeewwy. It’s been a really special 2 weeks with 6 different shoots and many full days away from my little one (only possible with my extraordinary mom’s help). One of those where you don’t have time to post cause it’s shoot, edit, sleep repeat. And it wrapped up last Saturday photographing @htothej and @rydermcnair’s stunning wedding alongside my husband, hearing their utterly unique ceremony, and shooting in these golden hills, and I was reminded how magical it is to work with a camera and with great people.
Kicking off my third year shooting for @beingoodcompany on this gorgeous rooftop. Each time I learn so much about being a woman, business owner, mother, citizen.
Just when I thought I had my next pair of @bryrclogs picked out, they go and release the stunning colors fennel (first) and ink (second). Such a joy to shoot for this stellar company, as always.
I’d like to end all weekends hanging out with this lovely lady, with some photographs sprinkled here and there.
The more years I have behind me, the less I’m interested in trendy jewelry or clothes. I wear the same pieces over and over, gifts and my own proud purchases. Future heirlooms.
That I get to move into my mid-thirties with these two is unbelievably wonderful
These memory foam slippers are my early birthday present to myself this year and so far I have worn them every day all day. Small comforts, folks. They make a difference.
@michelle.xman... makeup extraordinaire, pastel inspiration, and one damn strong woman
What’s the word for being so happy that you traveled to see a place but also sad that the trip is now in the past, for feeling that it’s enriched your life but also makes everyday living just a little more dull? I feel like the Germans have one. Feeling that today as I edit our photos from Rome.
Not your average potluck
