We are very lucky here in California to have nine National Parks within the state. And I am very lucky to have now visited all of them. The last one on the list was Death Valley. In November we packed up the Jeep and hit the road for three nights of camping in the park….
What a treat to be able to visit Joshua Tree via road trip. We visited on a girls’ trip a couple years ago, and we even had a whole portrait session in the desert. This time was a bit different, thanks to the pandemic, with Courtney and Jackson in town for work and Cassie and…
I am absolutely delighted to share this beautiful boudoir session today. W wanted to do this boudoir session as a gift to herself and to her new husband for their wedding. See a few of the photos below and hear from W herself describing the experience from beginning to end! Did you always want to…
Just a gorgeous woman in her cute white romper, plus or minus a hat or two. Simple ingredients for this fun and beautiful boudoir session. I love her laugh. And those fun shadows! Afterwards, we turned the session into a little black book, which she gifted to her husband for Valentine’s Day. There’s such…
I always love seeing clients’ images presented in these beautiful heirloom albums. You may remember Stephanie and Ben’s fun wedding anniversary party with goats and llamas and everything. We created a simple book with the perfect ‘desert’ luxe linen cover to show off some of their favorite photographs for years to come! See a few…
I’ve already expounded on the joys of taking this road trip with four other bossladies and shared some of the portraits that we made out in the desert, but here’s a better look into what we did the rest of the trip. Here are some of the many orchards of central California. My go-to California…
In mid-October, five of us got in a minivan and drove across California to head to Joshua Tree. It was the middle of a busy travel and work season for all of us, but it was so wonderfully restorative to be in the desert with these wacky looking trees and the company of these awesome…
When we booked the two-day one-night excursion from Fes to the desert, I don’t think it occurred to any of us to check how far away the desert was. Turns out, it’s about 7-8 hours each way. Far. But the four of us, Godwin, Liz, Justin, and I piled in to the car, and our…
The final day of Anika and Vijay’s wedding may well have been the most spectacular of the three, which is no small feat when you look back on it all. Our day started with a tour of Jaisalmer, and then we came back for the Baraat, which did indeed include Vijay riding in on an…
I have one more India excursion to share before we return to the last post on the Indian wedding festivities. On Saturday morning, the last full day of the wedding, we headed out early for a brief visit to the town of Jaisalmer. The palace where we were staying was about 30 minutes from the…
We continue on day two of the incredible wedding in India. On the wedding itinerary, it said simply, Sunset at the Lalhmana Sand Dunes. We all piled on to a bus and headed out from the palace, not knowing what to expect. I spotted some camels on the side of the road as we drove by,…
It was like we were living in a beautiful fantasy, or more specifically, Anika’s beautiful fantasy. Even now, as I look back on these photographs, it feels like a dream, too incredible for reality. I had photographed Anika and Vijay’s unique and very sweet proposal last year, but for their wedding, they gave me the…
