sunrise
there’s nothing quite like waking up with the sun, watching the glow wrap itself around the horizon. the warmth creep among the shapes of the day, bending and twisting into color and form. these quiet moments in time, in life, are irreplaceable. as photographers, we see the world in terms of light. the light transforming throughout the day, the magic hour of light, the way light shapes a person’s face. light is our language and love is what we get to talk about. here’s a little photo love from us on this sunday afternoon.
mushroom statues & sparkling wine . napa valley photography
can i just say how much i love living in california? i’m a spoiled californian—spoiled with our weather, spoiled with our environmental diversity, spoiled with our food and wine, spoiled with our culture. so, i took advantage of all these luxuries by spending a lovely afternoon in the napa valley with a dear friend drinking sparkling wine, eating scrumptious food, and enjoying the wintery but not too cool day and gorgeous scenery.
- these pictures are incredibly beautiful!! your so talented i cant wait to see what else you have coming in the future!January 24, 2010 - 4:47 pm
it’s a new year
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2010 is here and in a follow-up to yesterday’s post where i discussed family as priority here are a few pictures of our girls, minnie and maggie. we took a hike one day while on vacation and brought along the camera, these are a few of our favorite frames from the day.
We’re wishing everyone a wonderful 2010!
reflections . a year gone by
we’re still on vacation so please forgive our lack of activity on the blog.
when i woke up this morning, i realized this is the last day of the year and had to express my thoughts about the close of another year. I can’t believe this day is already here! where did 2009 go?
in reflecting on this year it has been challenging, joyous, and filled with growth and development. we have made huge strides with our business but i am excited because we have even bigger plans for 2010. we have faced some personal challenges which haven’t been easy but going through them has given us more resolve about how we want to focus our attention and time in 2010. some of the most crucial decisions we’ve made is that our relationship and time together as a family is priority, a balanced and healthy life is essential and our continued passion for our work is completely necessary. without these elements, we feel life doesn’t work very well.
one of things that we sometimes do together (although michael mostly does on his own) but which really brings balance, health, and passion for our environment is cycling. michael is an avid cyclist, it has been a major part of his life for twenty years and a couple of years ago he got me on the bike too. we pretty much don’t go anywhere without one of his bikes. so of course we’ve had it on our vacation. this is michael on christmas eve (of course i’m behind the camera, taking the pictures). 
tonight we plan to bring in the new year with food, drinks, games and dear friends. we wish everyone a safe and happy celebration and feel free to share your reflections on 2009 in the comments box : )
