It’s such a different change of pace to take photos in a new location. It has taken me out of my rut and routine, because I must figure out how things work, how and when the light works best, and a easy and fast way to get things done. I feel a bit awkward and rusty, but I’m sure, soon enough I will once again have a routine down. At least it’s spiced things up a bit! I’m looking forward to new ideas and inspiration.

But, let’s talk about the sadness and beauty the drought in California has brought to the landscape. Everything is dead, brown, and yellow. It’s ugly and beautiful at the same time, and gives a whole new look and texture to life and photographs. You must find the good, even in the bad…

I am somewhat settled into my new office space and today was my first photo shoot/shop shoot here. I found this dress and these bow shoes (both vintage) a while back, and have been dying to do a retro feeling shoot with them. I finally got the chance to do a shoot that could do these items justice.

My new office is based in my mom’s living room. Her house used to be my grandparent’s house, so a number of items in the house previously belonged to them. The nicknacks and pictures were theirs and whenever I look at them, they remind me of my grandparents. No matter how long they are gone, they always remain in my memories and thoughts.
