a spontaneous trip to LA..

If you are hoping for a last minute holiday portrait session, I am tentatively scheduling a trip to Los Angeles in December. I just need one more session to book my trip!

realizing life while we live it

“I didn’t realize. All that was going on in life and we never noticed… Good-bye, Good-bye, world. Good-bye, Grover’s Corners… Good-bye to clocks ticking and Mama’s sunflowers… And new-ironed dresses and hot baths. And sleeping and waking up. Oh, earth, you’re too wonderful for anybody to realize you. Do any human beings ever realize life...

runyon canyon bench series (post 7)

There is no need to look for the bench in this next set of photographs. (Because I’m either sitting on it or walking away from it.) Each time I reach the peak of my hikes lately, I no longer feel the need to take a picture of the bench. Instead, I feel a strong pull...
runyon canyon bench series (post 6)

There is another reason this project exists. I am hopelessly sentimental, so when I know I will miss something, I photograph it. It’s how I deal with change.. and change is not my favorite.

20 things my heart loves..

“Our truth lies in what we love, and as we remind ourselves that we have loved and do love, we find our way unerringly back to the place from which accomplish is possible… it’s almost impossible to make a list of heart loves without concluding we live in a rich, savory, and enjoyable world where...
