Rue Magazine! West Coast Launch Party

Last night was the super sweet launch party for the new online magazine, Rue! It's full of amazing photos, lovely interiors, shopping, fashion, and more. I love it! And I also love Anne Sage, the co-founder and exec editor. Her blog (the city sage) is seriously one of the most stunning blogs on-the-line. Last night the Kate Spade store in Corte Madera played kind host to the Rue launch party... cupcakes, cocktails, candy, and so many pretty girls. Single dudes- you could do worse than show up at a lifestyle magazine party (or a design blogger's party)!!! Do check out Rue and Anne! But first check out a few shots from last night's West Coast Launch Party! 

 

Berkeley Wedding Photographer :: Jill & Curt

Jill & Curt were married in July at the UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley in the amazing Redwood Grove. It was a beautiful ceremony, complete with their own sweet vows and readings from many of the guests. Their centerpieces were potted orchids that were all given away at the end of the night to family & special folk. The California Honeydrops played at the reception and then Curt killed it with an awesome iPod playlist- ooh, a little part of me wished I could have danced the night away with everyone! We finished the night with a super quick stop at the Ferry Building in SF for some fun night photos. Here's my favorite; Jill and Curt running after the streetcar on the Embarcadero! They were so much fun to hang out with and I'm blessed I had the opportunity to capture their celebration! Happy day, Jill & Curt!!

First Day of School

Ok, yeah, I know I've been writing many a post about our boy. But, he's pretty irresistible and I'm his mom, so that's my job. Today was a big milestone: his first day of school! We've just started at Puddle Jumpers and our boy went today from 9-5. The went to the park, read books, played with glue and paint, etc.! My biggest worry at the start of the day was the nap situation. All the kids (most of them are 3ish) nap together on the floor on their own sweet little blankets, with their sweet little stuffed animal or whatever. I had visions of our boy (who's 20 months) roaming around aimlessly and eventually just not napping. But I'm happy to report that he napped with the rest of the sweet little monkeys. I arrived to work my shift while the kids were still asleep so I was able to catch a peak with the video camera on my phone. You can also see the Daily Kid Pic here taken during craft hour. 

I'm working on wrapping up a few work-related projects so I haven't had much extra time to write about fun things like shopping or gardening. Now that the boy is off to school twice a week, we'll have more time to write about all the treasures I find & create. 

Newest Member of Puddle Jumpers Workshop!

I'm pleased as punch to report that our little guy has been offered a spot at the sweetest nursery school in SF: Puddle Jumpers Workshop. It's a small, parent-run co-op in the mission. They take trips to the park, make art, sing, read, etc! I also love that they have a great plot in a community garden! The photo below is from our Daily Kid Pic series, and shows him eating a tomatillo!
