I'm on set with Scotch for most of my days this week, and on Monday I snapped this photo of our stylist making a pretty calendar using washi tape. Lovely.And that's about all I have for you. Sorry for the brevity! Not much exciting going on here outside of work! But I did round up some internet shares of the day for you!+ This art is lovely. I would love to hang some in my kitchen.+ This home's interior design is dreamy.+ How to tell a mother her son is dead. Tears.
At the end of our trip this week, we decided it was time to take Ezra out in his grandfather's antique MG. Jamie's brother has had it for the last five years or so, and it was so fun to see the Plesser men tool around in the antique. I'll show more of those photos in my weekly wrap-up on Monday, but here are a few images of the car so you can appreciate the beauty of it.One of my favorite stories is that years and years ago, Jamie's dad had taken the car out for a spin and (I think?) when he was paying for gas and returned to the car, the clock was missing (seen below). He was so angry that someone had stolen it. Then, when Jamie's brother inherited the car a few years back, he was having some work done on it and they found the clock! It had fallen inside the dashboard and hadn't been stolen after all! So here it is, all fixed up and pretty.
And now, your internet shares of the day:+ Tim Gunn wants all women of every size to feel good in clothing. One of the many reasons I love this man.+ I want to make this slow cooker recipe this fall.+ These photos of the dogs in Venezuela will break your heart. But here's how you can help.+ A few quick and dirty Trader Joe's dinner recipes for you. I'm totally trying these.
Sooo, we got back home from California last night, and I got Ezra to bed around 8:30 and then I showered and crawled into bed myself. What? Traveling with toddlers is exhausting.And then this morning we got the kid off to his first day in the new, bigger kids classroom at school and I was off to a baby and dog shoot bright and early.And man-oh-man was it worth it! My house might be in disarray and I might not have gotten unpacked yet and my fridge might be empty still... but... Look at those two! This lab is less than 2 years old, and she was PERFECTION. Want to see another great shot of here? Look over here.For your internet share of the day, I love this list of what foods need to be refrigerated. And I guess I'll put that butter in the fridge from now on.
So many gorgeous views along the highway on our way back to the city yesterday. I just love the varied color palettes that you find in the nature of California.Tomorrow? Back home.
Last night, Jamie and I dragged our youngest niece and nephew (ok, ok, they were happy to come!) out to the beach to see the Milky Way. This was shot around 10 pm, but the moon was super small last night (just a sliver of light) and it set at 9:30, so I knew it would be super dark. And man, was I right. I was glad I had so many people with me because that right there was perfect axe-murderer conditions. But we all survived and got the shot! And it was so lovely out.There are still things I wish were better about this image (sharper focus, reflection on the water etc etc), but I was so happy to see so much color and variation in the stars.After shooting the sky, I showed the kids how to paint with light, and we quickly made the image below before heading back.I hope you all are having a fantastic Labor Day Weekend!
Well, I'm still working on my milky way photos. We are staying in Northern California right now, and you could see the galaxy with your bare eyes last night, so I thought I'd snap some photos. You can see some clouds (or fog) rolling in, so the images weren't as clear as I'd hoped, but I'll head back out tonight. No internet shares -- too busy enjoying all the nature. Have a great weekend!
Poor Magda finally got a nice, long walk this morning, and I brought my camera to snap a few photos of flowers along the way. My neighborhood is filled with fantastic gardens, and I love seeing them change in the morning light. Enjoy!
Note: I'm heading away from the office for the next few days, so I won't be posting as regularly. You'll still get updates, but not daily. Don't fret! I promise I won't disappoint!And for your internet shares of the day:+ Did you hear about this reindeer herd? So sad.+ Dorm rooms these days are ridiculous.+ These are the "hippiest" towns in each state. Kinda fun to see how many I've visited...
Well, I never made it back out with my macro lens (yet, anyway!), but I did capture these beauties while doing a family shoot out at a mini golf course last weekend! Aren't they lovely? I adore that color of orange (obviously).I might yet make it out on a photo walk with the ever-trusty Magda this week now that my schedule has calmed down a bit. Fingers crossed!In the meantime, I have some pretty great internet shares today!+ These photos of a bear in the woods in Russia will blow you away. Seriously, you need to see them.+ Five women tried on 10 pairs of jeans and show you which ones were the best. I love shopping guides like this.+ Just guess who is using 3D models of the clitoris in their sex eds class in school. The French, of course!+ Some really great parenting tips.
