Central Park was a grand maze of stunning attractions. It spans 843 Acres and includes unique monuments and statues, numerous playgrounds, beautiful ponds and bridges, a miniature castle (Belvedere Castle, omg!), and so much more! Bethesda Fountain (a statue of an angel blessing the Pool of Bethesda and giving it healing powers) was a favorite [...]

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween everyone. Here are the jack-o-lanterns that we carved out of the pumpkins we picked from the patch a week ago. I carved the cool flying bats one. Way awesome, huh?! Anyhow, I hope you all have a safe and fun halloween. Make sure you check your candy before you eat them. Don’t be [...]
Click for a photography tip!Snapshots: Pumpkin patch
Halloween is here! So of course this led to a family trip to a “real” pumpkin patch! Growing up in California meant that the only kind of pumpkin patches we visited were the corner lot variety at Home Depot (if we were lucky). You know the kind!? There’s a tent and bales of hay stacked [...]

Mother Nature’s Sky Art
Driving home from my sisters yesterday, I was so busy worrying about the dozen or so blood donations I had generously offered to a mob of mosquitoes from a photo session with my niece, and also that her bites might have outnumbered mine, I didn’t even notice at first the masterpiece that had been painted [...]

We were able to enjoy a fun afternoon at Universal Studios a few months back so I thought I would post up a few of the pics and thank the thoughtful man in my life who still finds the time to romance me so nauseatingly sweetly. It was my first time at Universal Studios and [...]

Road trip: Oregon Sand Dunes
Goodbye sunny California, Hello rainy season (is every season) Oregon. As we passed the Oregon border I felt a twinge of sadness at leaving behind all our special little spots we’d discovered over the past couple years: the hillside on which we were able to catch one of the most breathtaking sunsets I’d ever seen [...]
