SWEET STYLE. SECRET GARDEN

Here is the last photo shoot from our weekend trip to Ojai. Our friend's have the most beautiful garden you have ever seen and I've been dying do a photo shoot there during magic hour. At 7 o'clock in Ojai the light is spectacular, we actually call it the "pink moment" because the surrounding mountains turn the most vibrant shade of pink. It is quite magical...

Happy birthday to my sister Merry! I am so lucky to have you in my life. Love you so! xx

SWEET STYLE. THE AVENUE

While we were in Ojai we finally got around to something James and I have been meaning to for over a year now...a photo shoot at the abandoned gas station on Ojai Avenue. It is so cinematic when it's lit up at night and Phil and Afton were great sports and perfect subjects. You wouldn't believe the looks of horror we got as cars passed. It was as if we're only wearing underwear or something. That's what you get for doing a photo shoot on the main drag in a small town. But totally worth it if I do say so...

SNAPSHOTS FROM OJAI

Our good friend's Afton and Phil came with us to Ojai this past weekend, which made our trip all the more fun. We were lucky enough to spend our saturday lounging and laughing at a friend's pool. The property is so breathtaking, everywhere you turn there is beauty {see more photos here}. I can't remember the last time I felt more relaxed and happy.

SWEET STYLE. LIBBY BOWL

This past weekend in Ojai was perfect in every way and exactly what I needed. On saturday morning we drove in to town, grabbed iced coffees at Coffee Roasting Co. and took a walk through Libby Park. We ended up at Libby Bowl, a place that is very special to me, since I spent many a summer as a child performing in plays there...

SICK DAY

I had all these grand plans to drive around yesterday and take photos of sweet things for my final posts of 2010. Well wouldn't you know it, I got sick instead. I guess I can't complain since I happen to be at home with my family and there is nothing better then having your mother to take care of you. Since I've been in bed all day, I haven't got much to share except some lovely gifts Santa brought me that have literally not left my body until I took them off to photograph for you...

SNAPSHOTS FROM THANKSGIVING

I had such a wonderful Thanksgiving at home in Ojai. It's so important to stop and think about all the things you are grateful for. Some close friends came up with us and shared in on the fun. We played games, ate delicious food and took a sunset walk around our friend's beautiful property...

After dinner I went around photographing all the dogs I am practically auntie to. They each have such a distinct personality...
