shooting a wedding for funsies...!

what can be more inspirational than full on l-o-v-e?! my fab friend Phil and his lovely lady Lauren came out from Denver, CO, this past weekend to marry their very close friends who decided to forgo the traditional wedding and invite a few close friends to witness them tie the knot in one of the most breathtaking cities (IMO, 'course).  I met Heidi and Aaron the day before and offered to follow them to the Marin Headlands in their limo to take a few photographs for them....hoping and happy to capture a few moments that really are once in a lifetime and priceless.  


what follows are a few of my favorite shots from their picture perfect day....they are so in love and had a very warm circle of their dearest surrounding them on their wedding day.  I love that they chose to share a positive life moment with a date that carries such sorrow...congrats, Aaron + Heidi - it was so fun to help capture your day! xoxo

creeping on a Cretin....!

i absolutely love when i am allowed access to someone's personal, creative space - their retreat...whether it is their home, art studio, music studio or in my cousin's case....the garage.  all the personal touches that are layered and implemented throughout make that person's space unique and so interesting.  it's so important to have at least one space where you can just do your thing....wether it is wrenching on bikes, twisting your body into a yoga pretzel or becoming the next picasso.  




























































this is little Max and i LOVE him.


you can check out terence's motorcycle club - the cretins - here.


Soundtrack for this greasy goodness is a band that ALWAYS reminds me of my dear cuzzy - The Germs!

Bon Weekend!

what better way to celebrate Labor Day Weekend than NOT laboring.


i'm off in search of a little "button-resetting" as this girl's nerves are a bit tweaked and in need of some nerve rehab....bring on cute little friends, old dear friends, fam, sunshine, swimming in the ocean, purple mountains, my mother's gardens, local wine tasting, toes in the sand and lots of laughter....

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!  I'll be listening to a little of this while road-trippin':
