We continue our journey around the Ring Road with part two of our Iceland adventures! As you may recall, Cassie and I closed out our epic third day of the trip in Hofn. We then continued on our counter-clockwise road trip around the country by visiting some small towns on the eastern side of the…
Like any sensible photographer-traveler, I have had my sights set on Iceland for quite some time. Neither Cassie nor I remember exactly how we started talking about Iceland with each other, but suddenly, as we are prone to doing, we had dates and flights and were making it happen. We were visiting in the beginning…
It was a last-minute idea that just came to mind while I was driving home on the 30th of December, and just as quickly, it turned into solid travel plans for the next day. Instead of seeking out a fancy New Year’s Eve celebration or watching fireworks, I booked a stay at a farm off…
If you’ve missed parts one and two of Anna and Amy’s Arizona Adventures you can start with those links and rejoin us here for part three: Sedona. We made a day trip from Scottsdale, squeezing in just two hikes and two meals before heading back. I would love to spend more time in this region….
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…
I’ve had such a jam-packed first month of the year. With Justin’s visit, my birthday party, a weekend retreat, and lots of gatherings with friends, it’s been a wonderful start to 2018. Here’s a little look at what I’ve been up to. We start with a sneak peek from yesterday, the last day of the…
What an incredibly nourishing way to start the year. Our Lean In Circle meets once a month to discuss our personal and professional goals, learning together and supporting each other. But when someone suggested that we should expand our meeting into a weekend retreat, I think we all jumped on the idea. We picked MLK…
I still feel rather ambivalent about the ‘instagrammable museum’ phenomenon, with galleries, installations, and exhibits designed specifically with the selfie and instagram in mind. On the one hand, I love to post these cleverly crafted images just as much as the next person, but on the other, churning people through these instagram factories seems to…
Call me crazy or call me lucky; I drove down to Los Angeles twice in two months. The first time was to photograph Allie and David’s Redondo Beach wedding and the second was simply to attend “Second Thanksgiving” (our version of Friendsgiving). Of course lots of food and friends were involved, and I snuck in…
We picked some dates in October to make a little fall getaway to Shenandoah National Park. Little did we know that fall foliage wouldn’t be peaking for another two weeks, and when it did it would be the worst color on record for the last several decades. Too little rain means too little color in…
Over Christmas, Justin and I popped over from Philadelphia to New York City for a weekend filled wth art museums, Jewish and Chinese eateries, and other wanderings. Would you believe I’ve never ever been to the Guggenheim before? I finally made a visit thanks to my SFMOMA membership, which includes reciprocal access to the Guggenheim, The Whitney, and…
