Last May I had the honor of attending the Kurt Boomer Workshop at the Sunstone Winery in the Santa Ynez Mountains. I think it’s so important to constantly learn, connect, and grow by meeting other photographers and being inspired by people your admire. My experience at the this workshop did just that – I met some unbelievably […]

The final day of the Kurt Boomer Workshop at Sunstone Villa was a full styled wedding shoot. With beautifully designed details, carefully curated details, beautiful crafted designs and an adorable couple to photograph, this shoot felt like it was out of ad ream. This shoot was a little different that my typical wedding work (it […]

I’ve attended a few photography workshops in the past and always leave feeling inspired and motivated to create. Kurt Boomer’s workshop was no exception – the gorgeous location of Sunstone Winery pretty much begged us to constantly capture it’s beauty and Kurt prepared some exceptional shoots for us to harbor our creativity. The first day […]

When we were planning our move to the Netherlands we knew we wanted to travel a bit before Jack started his program in September. Jack’s a big fan of big mountains and the outdoors, and I love all things pretty cities and landscapes, so we decided that Swizterland would be the perfect place to spend a […]

Our last stop of the trip was just north of Lake Geneva in Greyer. We randomly choose Greyer because we like cheese and needed a place to stay on the last night, and it ended up being the perfect quaint little swiss town to wrap up our trip. Perched on the top of a hill […]

The end of our Switzerland trip took us around Lake Geneva, and I’m so happy we took this long route because the scenery was stunning. Sunflower fields, apple orchards and lake side villages for all far as the eye could see. I wish we had a few more days to explore (we didn’t have the energy […]

    This little village nestled in the Saint Inez mountains was the perfect home base for when I was partaking in the Kurt Boomer Workshop. It was equipped with adorable alleyways, delicious restaurants, and the cutest little European-inspired buildings.

Yosemite is a magnificent place. One weekend in January we packed up the car and drove east to spend the weekend sleeping in covered tents, wandering the mountains and enjoying this beautiful national park. With less tourists, crisp mornings, and clear, stunning days, visiting Yosemite in January was a brilliant idea. Photographing Yosemite on film helped […]

When were in Park City over Christmas there was one day when the forecast threatened a small snow storm, so Jack and I drove out into the back country to try to chase the storm. Jack was such a trooper for venturing outside the warm car with me to play with my Contax in the […]

A few weeks ago my three best friends from high school and I spent a gorgeous afternoon catching up after years of being apart and it was one of my absolute favorite days. We’ve spent the last few years separated by states and continents, busy schedules and different life paths, but as soon as we […]

Back when I was between jobs Jack and I started going on “Jack and Anna Fundays” to get out of the city and explore new areas, which is our most favorite thing to do. Since last Fall’s crazy work and travel schedule pretty much took over our lives, we hadn’t had a Funday since the […]

After my amazing experience at the Jose Villa workshop in Napa I was itching to play with a Contax 645 camera. After some thorough research, I found a great deal on a body and lens and decided to pull the trigger without ever shooting with one. Crazy, maybe, but this camera is amazing and I […]
