Weekend Getaway

This past weekend I ended up in "Black Rock City", aka. Burning Man. Been thinking about it for years, and this year the opportunity presented itself. I figured, I'm 37, I've got two little kids, AND I have a 'free' weekend (my husband was able to watch them/sleepovers were planned etc)....why not? So off I went, with a couple of my favorite people ever...and we had a blast. I met some wonderfully caring people, and I was amazed at the sharing-ness of everything. The dust was a little much, a little crazy, but once I accepted that it wouldn't go away, it as all fine. I embraced the "Pigpen" in me (although it wasn't hard to find).

I didn't shoot much, I was too busy looking at everything and soaking it all in. And I'm happy I did that. I did get a few shots I really like...I'm sharing them here!

Wonderful Frances England

Earlier this summer I had the opportunity to photograph the wonderful songstress Frances England. It was really fun...if you don't know her she is an awesome (children's) musician....Check her out! She's big! www.francesengland.com.

Here are a few shots from our session.

Summer is ending...

It's been a wonderful summer. I took more time off than usual, to spend with my kids, my family, go on trips, relax, read, swim, etc. I'm so so sorry it's over, although now it seems the weather is just heating up here! Well, I've finally just gone through some of the photos I took on our 2 week camping trip (Russian River, Mendo Coast, Redwoods, s. Oregon) and I'm just now sharing some of them. I've got a pile of new fun 'work' photos/portraits too that I'll get up and sharing shortly!

For now, here are some of my faves.
