salty dogs, ocean style

As excited as I was for our epic coastal roadtrip, there was one thing missing: my dogs. We were flying out there, and they would not be joining us. So, when I found out my coworker Mary was moving back to the Oregon coast a few days before we’d be there, I made plans to...

magic coast

I had never been to the Pacific Northwest before (unless you count as a baby, which I don’t), so I was thrilled when Pim and I made plans to road trip from San Francisco to Portland after his brother’s wedding. We hung around the bay for a few days, headed up north and camped in...

Let me start by saying that this is not a foray into wedding photography, and that I have absolutely no plan or desire to shoot more weddings (let’s leave that to the pros, okay?). But last weekend, Pim’s brother Nick got married. We journeyed out to California (and beyond, as you’ll see in upcoming posts)...

Today, I finally left the metropolis behind and headed south on a plane to Richmond. Despite a busy schedule still ahead of me here, somewhere over the Chesapeake...

how does your garden grow?

I’ve been spending a lot of time in the greenhouse lately, tending to my seedlings (which except for my red peppers, have all been doing fabulously). It’s such a peaceful, wonderful place to go relax and watch the plants. It’s always warm in there, and the soft light and bright colors feel great on the...

guess the seed

I started planting seeds for my garden a few weeks ago. Can you guess which seed this is? Hint: it is extra delicious and super healthy!

hot to cold

The day after returning home from Phoenix, I was heading to Boston. I’d never been before, but it seems like a fabulous city. Cold, but fabulous. I was there on assignment, but snapped a few photos of my own while walking down the street…

orange you glad winter is almost over?

70-degree weather in Phoenix was amazing… and so were the fresh-picked oranges. I am so ready for summer.
