Summer Strawberry Picking!

Recently we joined Vida & Dallas on a family strawberry picking adventure. We met at Swanton Berry Farm near Pescadero, along the California coast. We spent about an hour picking (and taking nibble bites!!) and then went back to the farm stand to pay for our goodies. It's a really sweet farm: organic strawberries and union labor! Pints of strawberries are $2.50 each. Here are a few photos from our foggy afternoon. 

Monterey Wedding Photographer :: Francine & Jonathan

Francine & Jonathan were married on the most glorious of glorious days in Pacific Grove, California. They were the loveliest couple- and both stellar smart Naval Officers. They were married at a park just above the rocky beach and I loved shooting every minute of it! It was a joy to shoot with Lili Durkin. Here are my favorite shots from the day.

Makeshift Society

Hooray for great new ideas and making things happen! Three cheers for the Makeshift Society team members who are launching a creative clubhouse in San Francisco this fall. Thanks to Giselle at Rare Device for hosting the meetup last night. It's such a treat to be in a pretty space filled with unique treasures and smiling faces. 

Makeshift Society is the new adventure from Rena Tom, Victoria Smith (sfgirlbybay), and Suzanne Shade. It is going to be an amazing work space and will also offer workshops and classes, host socials, and more! There is going to be a library, cozy loft, and rad lockers. Let's do it! I'm so exicted! Are you interested in membership- check out their different levels HERE. Interested in photos- check 'em out below! I had a blast shooting and meeting new lovelies last night. I can't wait to meet more of you! Drop me an email if you're interested in working together!

Are you planning on joining? How do you meet other creatives? 

Rena Tom stands tall to present the ideas for Makeshift Society. And I'm here to tell y'all that it's going to be a super rad addition to our creative community!


Thank you, Jordan Ferney (Oh Happy Day!), for suggesting there be cookies at Makeshift!
