Along the way...

Roaming around the Los Angeles Reservoir with my friend Evren Goknar, singer/songwriter and guitarist mastermind of the band Evil Maria.

There are places to escape in LA, you just have to find them.
Taking a moment to replenish my own creative reservoir after a day of photographing a wild party of 3 year olds. Here are some photos....

Snow Puppies!!!!

Cute Puppy Goodness!
I was working and playing in Mt. Rose up in Tahoe this past April and there was still snow. Melting slushy snow, but snow none the less. I was so happy to be up there. I thought January was the last time I would see snow this season. My heart was seeking an adventure, and the universe provided.

While wondering around Mt. Rose field waiting for the rest of the crew I saw these two adorable lab puppies running in the snow. My heart stopped at the site of them and I like a magnet, I was pulled towards their fluffy soft goodness to steal a hug, a few licks (from them to me, not me to them, just to clarify), and of course some puppy portraits.

Meet Dojo and Omi and their lucky owners.
I have dog envy ;)

I love these ears!

Breathing Different Air

Last Thursday, I spent a dreamy day in Santa Barbara and it was so nice to leave the physic chaos of Los Angeles for a little while. It is so important to take time to change your scenery, change perspective....breath different air. I think sometimes it takes a physical change of location to create space for awareness and appreciation. I'm so grateful to be able to pursue my passion of creating images and capturing special moments for people.... and for sunny days.
