beauty is everywhere. just keep your eyes open. while trying to work on a vision for a kindergarten art project, these blossoms in their courtyard seemed to be whispering to me. they see the children play everyday. they are so soft, beautiful, forgiving, and gentle. simply perfect.i snapped these while half of my eye was...
some people’s love, smile & energy is simply contagious. the other day i drove up to beverly hills & venice to photograph this darling couple’s civil ceremony. i couldn’t help as i was sorting the pictures to grab a small handful out. i hope that just through the pictures you can get a little glimpse...
