Last summer I read the Harry Potter play (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and loved it. You can't compare it to the series because it's a play, not a novel but it was great. Right after I finished, I googled and found out tickets for the play in London were about to go on…

Paul and I spent last weekend on a little downtown San Diego stay-cation. Originally when we talked about taking a weekend we had big plans. Seattle! Palm Springs! Somewhere far! And then we decided to just keep it simple and stay near home. We ended up at the Andaz in the Gaslamp and because we…

I vividly remember at our engagement…

On Labor Day weekend, Paul and I headed to the Santa Cruz area to celebrate the wedding of our friends, Bart and Veronica. I have like 15 stories to share about this wedding and SO MANY GREAT PHOTOS, so feel free to pull up a chair and pour yourself a cocktail/cup of tea (depending on…

I have said this before, but I have like seven tricks for taking photos. (See them here.) I do the same few things over and over again because I love the results that I get. One thing I haven’t written too much about is another favorite technique… THE ART OF THE CROP. I’m giving it…

Do you want to know something HILAROUS? On my July editorial calendar I had planned to post a WDS recap on Tuesday 7/15. I thought I would be able to sum it all up in a post. HA! I'm in the middle of sharing the behind the scenes of actually speaking (hopefully the final two…
