I couldn’t have choreographed a better “first shoot” after my Foundation Experience than this surprise birthday party. One of the main tenants I learned in Foundation was to find the love, and stay there. Well the love was SERIOUSLY flowing this afternoon, and I felt almost on a high being there to capture it.
I have been writing the first sentence of this post for a week. How do you begin telling a story about a weekend that has changed you fundamentally? A story ripe with the most open people, the most basic but transformative ideas that you’ve never allowed yourself to truly follow, that was full of tears from … More The Power Of Looking Stupid [My (First) Foundation First Experience]
Perhaps I’m partial because my little girl is on her way to being a two year old, but I think this age is my FAVORITE. Little HP here just turned two and is a thoughtful and fiery ball of hysterics and enthusiasm. Like my own girl, she is discerning of new people, new faces… But … More TWO!

I hardly have the words for how much I adore this little fella. Needless to say, this kid a fiery ball of sunshine and delight and quite possibly one of my most favorite tiny humans.
Combine a warrior mama and her spirited son with a dramatic desert background and you really just can’t lose. We also had a few store bought snowballs for a makeshift desert snowball fight 🙂 A few of my favorite shots of S&J below.
On a recent trip to the desert with my crew, I got to hang out with three generations of FABULOUS.
OK, so here’s the thing…. it was a PERFECT day to take photos. It has snowed five inches the night before, it was perfectly cloudy and a light snow was falling and there was NO ONE ELSE around. The snow was untouched, unmarred, ripe and ready for us to unleash our toddler and her curls … More Our Holiday Photos!
When they gave me the news that they had created a little Phoebo (FRIENDS fans, you know what’s up) I could hardly contain myself. Welcome to the club, B&C&SMF! I love you guys a ridiculous amount.
