City Escape

Kara Brodgesell August 18, 2014

It's pretty much always worth it to take a day trip from San Francisco. Evidence: Stinson Beach.

Flowers

Kara Brodgesell August 13, 2014

I photographed this gorgeous wedding last year in Big Sur and am still thinking about the out-of-this-world florals.

Fuchsia nails

I just came across this photo I took during a 2013 wedding of a waitress at Big Sur Bakery. Loved her big smile and great style, so I had to grab a picture!

The Amador County Fair

Kara Brodgesell July 28, 2014

On the way back from shooting a wedding in the Sierras, my boyfriend and I made a little detour to catch the final day of the Amadour County Fair. Among the highlights was the youth livestock auction- with kids handling 1000+ lb animals, taking pride in their work to raise animals AND all while in fantastic matching outfits. Inspiration everywhere.

Kara and the sunset

Kara Brodgesell July 24, 2014

Kara is one of the sweetest people I've met in a long time, and full of enthusiasm for photography and photo adventures. She invited me on a photo walk up Mt. Tam with some super talented folks and I was so grateful to be pulled out of the literal fog of SF for sunset hunt. It was so worth it.

Flowers by the apartment

Kara Brodgesell July 24, 2014

These were on the wall that divided my AirBnb apartment complex from the one next door. Copenhagen: full of subtle beauty, everywhere.

Post nap snack, for all of us
Hi summer, we’ve been waiting for you
Little treasures in the shed of inspiration
Stunned by my first visit to the beautiful @mettoweemint in Dorset
@owlscapes’s backyard bounty
Made our way to SF’s backyard of the bay
Updating my headshot pitch doc reminded me of this shoot with Shobha Philips, the founder and wildly impressive force behind @wearproclaim
Extremely, overwhelmingly ready for this new season
Loved shooting this @mothermag feature in partnership with @nanobebe_world on @chesleycarele and her kiddos! It’s a really amazing thing to be allowed to drop into a family’s life and they couldn’t have been sweeter. She makes 2 und
My loves and my most loved place
Have never owned this many yellow things in my life, now our household can’t get enough ☀️
Beautiful scenes everywhere I turned on Saturday’s shoot for @emerituswines. Felt so good to be back on location with a crew that made every angle look 😘
Miraculously, she shares my love for finding beach rocks. May we continue to learn from and explore with each other for a long long time.
The bambina taking in the third story views
Eight years ago I helped this unique, amazing, ray of sunshine manifested into a person, with photos & video for the Kickstarter for his first book. Now he’s just released his THIRD - Friendship in the age of Loneliness. I can’t think
Finding the perfect flower to accompany this week’s product shoot. Thanks again @alfleish for letting me make your beautiful home my mini studio!
