Today is my grandmother’s 88th birthday. I am lucky to still have her in my life. Days like today make me thankful for making the decision to move my life back home to California from New York. There is only so much a job can do for you, but your family is forever. They’re the ones who you’ll remember 20 years down the road when your old job is just a blip on your memory radar.

Here are some Out Takes from last Spring. The post was up almost exactly one year from today, entitled “Spring has Sprung.” I have to say–this is one of my all time favorite shoots, so it is fun to share some of the other great pictures from this shoot!

Inspiration + Shoot

March 19, 2014

When creating inspiration boards, sometimes the board itself acts as inspiration for something, while other times the board can come after the creation of something. The design process is never set in stone.  This vintage look I put together today was the perfect mood and feel for an inspiration board with it’s bold colors and mixed prints. That means, this shoot was the catalyst for creating the above inspiration board. Creativity is all about not following an exact process and being open to doing things different from what you are used to.
