I am a California girl at heart who is lucky enough to live in one of the most wonderful, un-California cities in the world, New York. Most days, you'll find me exploring my new home with my amazing husband and our dog, Friday. I love to travel, eat just about anything with peanut butter, meet new friends, shop, read, take pictures, and spoil other peoples' kids and pets rotten. This blog includes my rants and raves about my personal life as well as my adventures in the photography business.

Inspired by fashion, art, and pop culture, I love to capture images using natural light. Although I enjoy taking all kinds of pictures, my style veers towards lifestyle and editorial photography and my favorite subjects are people. I am a photographer purely for the love of it, and I think you'll see that reflected in my work.

Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to leave a comment!

La Bella Vista

Apologies for the lack of posts lately. Life has gotten very, very busy - but things are also very beautifully full. I've been blessed with some very fulfilling work lately, both behind the camera and in my other job, and that along with spending time with family and friends (we were invited to 5 different weddings in August-October alone) has kept us on our toes.

We did take the opportunity for a quick getaway to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in September and boy, was it worth the short flight. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, our resort was right on the beach, and we did almost nothing for those few days. It was delicious.

Being there was also a reminder that my Spanish is fading quickly and I have renewed my promise to review more frequently using tapes and watching Spanish tv. (Spanish soap operas are a wonderful way to keep your ear sharp!) Although much of Cabo is losing its native charm (there is a Costco, McDonalds, etc.), there is still a lot of local pride and flavor. I hope we can return soon.

Until then, here are some of the bella vistas (good views) from our trip.








These were taken through a glass waterfall that was outdoor by one of the pools.
