Voted by mail for the first time last week, not knowing when this little one would arrive. But today we find ourselves waiting on a whole number of things that will effect our future. If you haven’t already, get out there and VOTE!
Life this past month has been dominated by getting our newish apartment ready and desperately trying to finish editing before everything is turned upside down. Which doesn’t exactly lend itself to many gram-worthy shots, til I step back and appreciate this place where I spend so much time. Possible next series: Desktop Chaos: Ruminations on whether creating small piles can be considered cleaning.
I can’t say I’m in favor of a lot of the 90s fashion coming back these days (let’s let those ribbed striped shirts from Delia’s stay buried), but @jenibrittonbauer makes a strong case for the return of the scrunchie. Apparently it works best if it subtly matches your awesome hair color. @beingoodcompany #scoutingfashionwhileshooting
Rare shot of me behind the camera, this time with a little more weight in front. Thanks @katiehintzzambrano for the shot, I love that this little girl will know how her mom pursued a career she loved while growing our family.
The ideal fall corner
We’re looking ahead a lot these days and I couldn’t be more grateful to have this guy by my side. Especially now that he’s another year wiser.
It’s always worth a trip to the ocean, but this was perhaps the most epic sunset I’ve seen in my 7 years out here. Thanks, Friday.
Portraits of Savanna, the kind of person I’d like to be when I grow up, in her Berkeley home
Perhaps the most excited I’ve been seeing a bride’s shoes! So many sweet little details as @kkwaz got ready for the big day. #kwandylove
When your husband accidentally matches the roadside stand perfectly
It may not feel especially summery in SF this week but I’m happy to fake it with some warm colors and my favorite pair of @bryrclogs
My dream for you, beautiful oculus, is that you’re as well maintained in 100 years as you are today (unlike, well, most of the rest of the transportation stations we went through on this trip)
This kid has been shooting with my cameras for about 5 years and I love seeing how his interests and eye have developed. And now he understands the concept of focusing! Game changer.
The ultimate couch-based panorama view
Perfect early dinner after a beach afternoon, when the light (golden) and the waiting lines (none) work out in your favor
At the end of the day, one of the things that matters most is spending time with friends around a table. Stunning backdrops are a bonus.
