Real life. Real photography.
I had such a blast photographing all of these families. Everyone was so easy going and not to mention their kids were A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E. Not to mention, can we just say that these mom’s are absoutely beautiful!! Every single one of them are gorgeous!! These dad’s are very lucky…thank you all so much for letting me document the love you have for your beautiful families..it was such a pleasure.
I have so many pictures from SF, so be prepared to be overloaded! On Friday evening my sister in law took me down the street to their local neighborhood park for a belated easter egg hunt for the kids. It was organized by some mom’s on the block and it was such a great time!! What a fun idea, right? The kids had a blast searching for eggs and running around.I really envy my brother’s neighborhood..everyone knows each other, they sit outside and talk and their kids play together, they organize fun events like this all the time. There is a strong sense of community in the neighborhood..which I think a lot of people are suprised by in SF..people think because it’s such a big city people kind of keep to themselves..but that is not the case.
p.s. images are film and digital. if you want a little fun thing to do and are extremely bored, ha! ha! go back through some previous posts, many of what I have been posting is film.
I think I leave a bit of my heart behind everytime I have to leave San Francisco. I adore that city, everything about it I love. So on Friday when I had a day to myself I was so excited to just go and explore on foot. So about two blocks from my brothers house is the most adorable market so that is where I found myself. everytime I come into town we seem to stop here for one thing or another..this is why I love San Francisco. On every corner their are markets just like this. I love that I can go in here and buy fresh organic fruit or buy a fresh cup of coffee and sit at their little table and read the paper or pick up one of the many art books they have piled in the corner and browse through them.

So last Thursday, I attended a workshop by Anna Kuperberg. Some of you have seen the photographs of my own family that she took of us last year in San Francisco while we were visiting. Anna is a rare bred in this industry and one that is a true artist of her craft. What I loved about this workshop is it focused on creativity and how to foster creativity within ourselves. I walked away with so many wonderful ideas about how to be more creative in my everyday life and how to bring out that creativity when I work with my clients. After the workshop, Anna invited us all to dinner where we went to a great brewery, had some great food and had some wonderful conversations about life, our passion for photography and everything in between!! I met so many inspiring photographers and walked away from this workshop with a new zest of excitement of what is to come!!

so when I was back in Utah the weather was miserable…I was so happy to escape the rain and snow as San Francisco has been a beautiful 65-70 degrees since Wednesday when I arrived. Ohh, pure heaven. But before I left..here is where I left off with my project.

So that was Monday and Tuesday and then Wednesday came and I knew exactly who my subjects were going to be for my project for Wednesday. I mean who can resist these two? My niece and nephew. Aren’t they to die for? I want to sprinkle a little sugar on them and eat them right up. I get the same way with Jack..just want to eat him alive sometimes..I love them so…
