4 Things // Letting Go

Photographing : Yacht Party with Before I Do Events; yes to sailing and the sea air.

Dreaming of : Right here, right now. Today we are camping and photographing in Joshua Tree with our friends.

Watching : My nephew learned his abc's this week. He is excited about everything alphabet. 

Letting Go : I've had two acupuncture treatments this week.  My dad is staring radiation and chemo in a couple of days and I'm trying to let go of as much of the fear as I can.  I want there to only be hope left.

Adventures in Iceland

“You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.” ― John Lennon

From Mike: 

Iceland is hard to describe. I get asked about it all the time. I'm always a bit hesitant with my first words. I notice people watching me closely as I'm about to speak. Then I say something like..Its the most amazing, weirdest, favorite place to be. Then I realize that is not really grammatically correct and that doesn't even come close to doing it justice.

There are thousands of waterfalls, hundreds of volcano's, rolling green hills. You see huge desert mountains next to steep cliffs and goats nearly everywhere. Rivers and bays run next to huge boulders and lava fields. You are surrounded by the ocean and glaciers. Animals dot the scenery as well. There are beautiful wild horses, Icelandic sheep that can scale any mountain, and birds that will attack you as soon as you leave your tent...and that's just day one...

Jenna : A Torrey Pines Maternity Session

Hello Wanderers,

This is the second shoot with Jenna during her pregnancy. In such a short time, it is crazy to see how much she has grown. I feel as though there is more of a glow about her than in the first shoot.

I find it an honor to be able to capture the happiness and warmth that she portrays during a time that may be one of the most tiring and painful challenges she will choose to face. In these photos, there is no sign of this tiredness. There is no sign of this pain.

In this moment, she is the embodiment of happiness.

xoxo
