She brought along her adorable little one and we had a fun time.  Kelly is awesome: she is a lawyer, involved in community work, is a mother and a wife, and plays Gaelic Football! If you live in District 19 I suggest you get in touch to find out more!

We took advantage of this warm spring weather last weekend and ventured over to Windy Hill in the Portola Valley…mini hike and a picnic lunch by a pond made for a perfect Bay Area day.

These are the first of a few cyanotypes. I am still working out the kinks of scanning watercolor paper (maybe this medium lends more to photographing?!)

I like to do my annual review at the start of the year but I can’t believe how fast (and busy!) 2012 has been so far! I am approaching this year in review a bit different than I have in the past, partially because 2011 had so much work and partially because 2011 I also grew a ton as a photographer. I also spent a ton of time working on my website, and this mini review for me speaks to that!

I photographed many “Grown Local” features for Eucalyptus Magazine. It was wonderful to be able to meet so many awesome local farmers who not only love the work they do, but are doing great things.

More farmers!

I undertook a massive food photography project for a class.

More food!

I also put on a little group show based on abstraction that I photographed these double exposed portraits that I love.

More double exposed portraits!

2011 had many travel adventures… from Big Sur to Bay Area beaches to Marin Headlands to Humboldt to Oregon to Hawaii.

More Awesome places!
