Workshop Images | film is not dead

the workshop went to balboa park in San Diego for some family portraits. I thought this would be a good day to play with some black and white film.  I love the tonal range of the B/W film!

Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm | Toddler Portraits

H is 10 months now. For this visit Karyn told me about the tulip festival at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm. Of course after seeing the website I just had to go. I’m so grateful that it was sunny just long enough for us to visit the farm. It was amazing!!! Just a sea of color. I had be the best time watching H crawl and around and explore.

I’m in love with this sea of yellow!

Oregon | Cannon Beach

Just got back from another fabulous trip to Portland, Oregon.  What a great visit!  I loved exploring the Oregon coast with a toddler.  I loved giving H a beach day in April!

I was so excited to head to Cannon Beach on a brisk April Day… and guess what.. the sun came out!
