Baby Hoffman

When the fog glooms out your sunset session and you have only moody beaches and eucalyptus forests. And then it's food for the soul for you and your client. It's like God planned it or something. I hope you love this sweet motherhood session with Whitney as much as I do. The world is so excited for you little Hoffman! 

Adventures with Matt: Montaña De Oro Exploring

I love this place more than anywhere else. I don't come here enough, even though it's so close to me. But it keeps those smells of eucalyptus and salt air special, the overcast skies still peace-giving and absence does make the heart grow fonder. I love the discovery here--it finds me every time. The towering trees quiets my spirit like nothing else and I feel the Creator's presence in every growing bit around me. Thankful that places like this exist in a world that feels so lost and heavy at times. 

Jake + Ariel

Montaña De Oro is one of my favorite places, and since Ariel and Jake are some of my

 favorite people it only seemed natural to go there for a photo sesh.

 I thoroughly enjoy these two and there was much laughter among these photos. 

So thankful for good friends and the ocean. 

More love to come. 

Adventures with Matt: Sunday Funday

Matt and I spent our day-off doing a little exploring at Montana De Oro State Park. I love living here, so much to be inspired by. I practiced cartwheels on the beach (which was a reality check) and Matt found some cool crustacean friends. We popped by the Morro Bay Aquarium for some sad fun. Poor little captive fish. 

My "pursuit of photography" here in California has been rewarding and a good self-discipline. I'm being pushed out of my comfort zone on a weekly basis, and it has been so good to eaasse into it. I've loved meeting with fellow photographers recently and learning what a sweet community of artists it is. That was encouraging. I'm learning the importance of being friends and taking networking seriously. It does make me miss my friends all over the world though. Please, all of you, get engaged and fly me to you. :)
