SPACES

The book, SPACES by FRANKIE MAGAZINE, came out this month, and I am so honored to have my photos published in it.

The home I photographed belongs to my artist/friend William Smith. The colorful house has an eclectic mix of new and vintage decor. Will and his wife Jacquline have a knack for outrageous finds.

Whether it is stopping when they see a chair by the side of the road, or using an old mannequin leg as a coat hanger, they sure know how to convert the ordinary into the extraordinary.

The book is not only beautiful but inspiring. I recommend it for anyone looking to spark their inner designer.

CAPITOLA

We crossed our fingers in November for good weather, and luckily we had plenty of sunshine for this shoot. my amazing and talented friends, Peggi Jeung (stylist) and Sherrie Long (hair & makeup), who both helped bring everything together.

Capitola is known for its quaint, colorful downtown and great beach, so it was the perfect setting for our youthful, fun and sweet test shoot.

Makes me miss summer! It's always around this time of year I start wanting the sun to shine again!

BABY MAKE ME SMILE

Perhaps I should think about bringing Ziggy to more photo shoots. He sure made us all laugh, and brought out the best in Sue. You must check out Sue's book "No Where Hair"! Fabuluos, touching story about breast cancer and your kids. Oh it's just pure love for Sue!!

I also have to give Kelsie HUGE props for balancing a baby and a refector. Check out those guns....Kelsie you are amazing!

SORRENTO, ITALY

Only 24 hour into my trip to Sorrento, Italy and I am full of fabulous Italian pasta and pizza. I just learned that pizza was invented here. Who knew? It's so beautiful here I can't help but share some images.

DOG DAY

Earthbath animal cleaning products smell great and are pet friendly. We made sure we had enough treats to keep the dogs and the kids happy during this shoot :)
