Film teasers for a Sunday Morning Donut inspired shoot that I collaborated with Tailored Sweets, Sara Holley, Pow Wow Vintage Rentals, Flowers by Atalanta, & JH Artistry. <3 So excited to share the rest of these soon!
I am so ridiculously in love with these film images! Much more to come! <3
we woke up before dawn that morning.
the bay was quiet, still, and cloaked in fog.
we packed our canoes and took off from nick’s cove.
the fog made it seem like a different world.
the smallest guy we caught.
(with one pincher too.)
the largest guy we caught.
we just had to get fresh oysters,
and headed back.

Over the Christmas holiday back home, we went on a spontaneous trip to Tomales Bay with some friends to go crab fishing in canoes. I got so excited that I took WAY too many photos, and everything was on film cause that’s all I brought with me. But it was a wonderful time where I pretty much went in a canoe for the first time, took tons of photos, and over ate fresh crab & oysters, but boy, were they delicious!
There is just something about fishing and fishing communities that I love. Something real, honest, and raw about it. So much so that it’s beautiful because of that. Catching your meal instead of having to buy it from a freezer at the supermarket? That’s the human experience, right there.
That, and the experiences you share with people you love at the same time. <3

I can’t believe another year is upon us already. Where has 2010 gone? Much too quickly, for I felt like it just ran straight through my fingers.
I used to take New Year’s very seriously as a child, I would lie awake at night, listening to the radio with my headphones until just before midnight (for everyone else had already gone to bed). Then when the new year was almost here, I would go into the living room, throw hand cut confetti in the air at midnight along with the TV on very low, and when it was all over, I would clean it all back up and climb back into bed.
The funny things we did as children, no?
2010 has been a year of growth, and a year of pausing and resuming. I’m glad to be where I am now in my path, forging ahead, looking forward to what 2011 brings. Creatively, spiritually, and all around joyfully. 2010 was a year of really figuring myself out more, and I feel like 2011 is going to be the year where I exude it, and solidify that.
There will be more adventures, more pioneering, more creativity, more dreaming and most of all, more wonder. <3 You can bet on that. :)
Here’s to another wonderful year!

A bit of summer fun & retro magic. Birthday dinners & games at the Pearl Hotel, frolics on the beach at Swami’s, good food, good friends, & good conversations at the Parkhouse Eatery. The summer we had was very short, but sweet. :) Ready to welcome autumn!
Summer is finally here on the coast!
