July 4th Weekend 2015

Nick and I spent our 4th weekend together - hiking, Marin County Fair, jumping in Tomales Bay with our friend Dan, grilling, eating ice cream..... & more hiking!  All pics taken with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. 

Italian Street Painting Festival

Every year in San Rafael, the city hosts a street painting festival.  This year the theme was Venice.  Here is what the scene looked like on Saturday. 

Family Farm in April

Another bittersweet visit with my Aunt Linda and Grandma.  Nick was with me, and I'm calling him my Handsome Prince more and more these days.......... 

Family Portraits - Party of 9!

My former neighbor called me all the way from Minnesota to book a Family Portrait session while she was in town for the Thanksgiving Holiday.  After a couple more phone calls and texts, we decided to shoot in Lucas Valley, just before sunset, and have the family wear blues & grays.  

I am so happy with the results!  Thanks K! So great to see you and the family again. 

Downtown Oakland Architecture

I fell in love with downtown Oakland this spring/summer. Here are some pics of details that caught my eye while strolling through downtown one evening this August. 

Marin with Marley in June

I am watching Marley for a few days, and we are both early risers - which is great because it gave me a chance to get out and take some sunrise pics of my favorite hill in Marin - Cherry Hill. 

Big Basin

on easter sunday Dan, Ashley and I were sitting around strumming guitars, eating pancakes, reading nytimes, planning trip to Big Basin...... we are an industrious folk, and that is what i love about my people.  Here are some pics from the trip.
