I always enjoy my trips to California. This time I brought my camera and had some fun with it. My awesome hosts (Evis and Jeff) from AWESOMETOWN took such great care of me. We did all kinds of fun stuff… here’s a peek into my lovely week in California. My favorite memories from the trip:

• Lunch at Lucques in Melrose Place
• Best iced mocha ever – at Intelligentsia
• Awesome finds at hipster shops on Abbot Kinney
• Taking random photos with Evis all over LA, inside shops, on the pier, on the beach….
• Getting sand between my toes at Santa Monica and walking on the pier
• Lovely 4th of July celebration with good friends
• Photo session in Filmore, then Santa Paula
• Overdosing on In-N-Out and Yum Yum donuts
• Seeing ol’ friends
• Smelling the air in Newhall. Yes – there is a distinctness to it and i’ve missed it.

Thank you everyone who came out and spent time with me. You know who you are.

A few weeks ago I was scheduled for a photo session with a family at the Brookside Gardens in Silver Spring, Maryland. However one of the family members ended getting sick right before the session so we had to cancel. Well since I was already at the location with my camera I thought why not take this wonderful opportunity to capture some of the beautiful Fall foliage as well as Chrysanthemum exhibit they had on display. It was such a nice afternoon and the beautiful flowers and foliage that surounded me just made me ever so thankful that I am able to enjoy God’s beauty.

Here are some of my favorite photos from that day. I hope you like them too.

As I was preparing these images I thought they would make really beautiful wall art. So if you are interested in any of these as a printed piece please let me know and i can let you know the options that I have. Some options that I can do with these photographs are: canvas wrap, matted photograph or framed photograph. Let’s get these photographs on your wall!
