Vintage Gorgeousity Part Deux

2009-03-12T21:27:00.000-07:00

This had to have been one of the funnest days I've had in a very long time. We spent four hours running around an old barn and through the hills! I'm in love with the headpieces in these photos. They are modeled and designed by my extremely talented and longtime friend, Tania, for Lady Amherst and the Flying Loon. Sifting through her trunk of headpieces was like going through a treasure chest! Thanks for the unforgettable day Tania, you rock!

If anyone is interested in her designs, just contact me and I can forward your info to her.

Such a beautiful family on the inside and out. I've had the pleasure of being a part of their lives for beyond fifteen years now. I can only hope they keep me around at least fifteen more!

The new and improved, and better than ever...

My website got a face-lift. I love the new look! I feel like it definitely represents my personality and style accurately and also that it has a much smoother flow to it now. It's amazing what just a few alterations can do.

Now I'm completely freed up to work solely on the new photo blog. Yeah! Hopefully it will be finished and ready to launch before the end of the month.

Valentine's Day...California Style

2009-02-17T21:17:00.000-08:00

The rains broke just long enough to enjoy a gorgeous day in Laguna Beach. I was glad to finally get some sweet images. Winter is somewhat of a drag on the camera. But, spring is around the corner and I'm looking forward to the change in season which will bring all sorts of blooms and blossoms, some of my favorite things to photograph.

In other news, I'm in the process giving my website a face lift. I'm sticking with the same basic color palette, but tweaking things a bit to suit my personality a little more. I spent the entire weekend searching for just the right artist and song for my site and yesterday I finally found it! I think websites are so important when it comes to conveying your personal style and tone, and the song that is chosen is just as important as the images, colors and themes. The new song I chose is very...organic, soft, sentimental yet without being melancholy, a bit rustic and very fluid. It's perfect for me and the way I view the world. I'm really happy with the way it's coming along and can't wait to see it finished!

Also, something I'm even more excited about is a new photo blog! I love blogger. But, it's simply no longer meeting my needs in the photography aspect of blogging, so I've begun the process of moving on. Stay tuned for the unveiling!

We used a beautiful ravine in Lake Elsinore for this couple shoot. It's one of my favorite places to be. Usually I stay on the bank where it's easy access. But this time, we decided to actually go down into it where we would have more options. It's so beautiful down there. Talk about photo op galore! We walked the whole length of the ravine. There's spots of sun, spots of shade, fallen tree trunks over the stream, then it lets out into a huge field. Perfect.

I love the way their photos turned out. I hope they love them too!

I got to browsing through some old archived images yesterday. I loved these together. The two middle ones were actually the only ones that were shot together on the same day. The clouds and the horse were different times. But I love the way they compliment one another.

Processing's been a lot of fun for me lately. I am LOVING Oeil's actions. Figured I'd throw a link out here...

The last day of 2008. It was the year that brought us our first son and so many extraordinary memories.

Happy New Year's Eve everyone. Make your 2009 beautiful.

A beautiful wedding in Santa Rosa Plateau, California. What an absolutely gorgeous bride. She made it way too easy for me! Thanks for letting me be a part of your day!

Shot this the morning after a rain. The water drops were still glistening in the early morning sun. It was beautiful.

About six months ago I shot a whole series of orchids, but never got around to processing this one. Funny, because this one was my favorite. I'm glad I waited because the mood struck me just right this week. I {{{love}}} the way it turned out. Very cool and luminous. Very California. Very me.

*Ugh* I feel like I haven't been on here to write in ages. I've had just enough time to quickly upload and run!

This diptych I love. It put me on Explore for the first time. Yay! That's very exciting.

Still haven't been hit with a header muse yet. Waiting, waiting, waiting...

{edit: Just kidding! This one made it to Explore first! And this one! A month ago! Hellllloooo...get with the program Cor. I've never really understood the whole Explore thing, somebody had to point my photos out for me. Now that I kind of get it, seeing your little baby on there getting recognized is pretty exciting. It's like watching your pre-schooler perform in her first play. Makes a mommy so proud! Hehehehe...}

The bright side of a rain filled night...a dewy morning.

I love this sp because I didn't even have to crop it. Composition au-natural.

2008-11-18T22:51:00.001-08:00

On our walk yesterday I noticed these leaves growing out from the wall. It reminded me of something from a science fiction movie. I thought it was beautiful.

I'm waiting for inspiration to strike regarding a header for this site. I know it's in this head of mine somewhere. Come out come out wherever you are...

Another gracious gift of the surrounding countryside near our home. I could shoot for years out here and never run out of beautiful scenery.

2008-11-12T09:34:00.003-08:00

...on our walk yesterday, I realized tree leaves make for some beautiful bokeh!

...on a drive home from Julian, CA. Gorgeous scenery out there. The light was great, just before dusk.

One of my all-time favorite subjects...my son. You rock that hat Levi love!

Going through my archives, came across this one. Not a huge fan of sepia, but this one was just begging me to do it!

I'd been wanting to do some self-portraits in this fur {real? I don't know! I think so...eek! Got it at a thrift store about six years ago.} for a very long time. Lately for some reason I've been thinking of Meret Oppenheim's "Fur Cup and Spoon" piece and that was my perfect inspiration to finally shoot them! I love the way they turned out.
