5 Somethings // Mostly Fun + Taxes

Something Lovely :: Mike and I went to see The Metromaniacs at the Old Globe.  It was chaotic and hilarious with a twist all the way through.

Something Dreamy :: I know it's February but I'm starting to come up with my 'musts' for the summer.  Sailing, wild flowers, maybe even hang gliding, we will see.

Something Captured :: The Peyton family was so fun! Persephone is 9 months old and I love the joy and softness she is bringing to her parents.  I've known them forever and it's so cool to see their hearts burst open.

Something New :: Everything feels brand new.  I'm trying out new lighting techniques and different color combos when I shoot.  It's a season of growth and creativity. I love this time of year.

Something Challenging :: I've been trying to make our accounting spreadsheets more beautiful in Indesign.  It's that time of year again.  Corporate taxes are due. I've been living in an accounting world.  Although I love running a business accounting does not inspire me.  So I've been trying to add some photos and beauty to our spreadsheets in hopes of creating something that inspires me more.

5 Somethings // Adventures & Secret Dinners

Something Lovely :: My mom and I spent the day at the park with Gaidin.  We went to Cardiff and met up with my dear friends Paul and Diana and their sweet son.  They spend much of their year traveling around the U.S. and Mexico, living out of their van and having amazing adventures.  I've known Paul since I was a kid and it's amazing to see him so happy and free.  I'd love to take a long epic road trip some day with Mike. 

Something Dreamy :: Iceland in June! I just found out that Jenna is going on a writing retreat in Iceland in April. How exciting! I'm so happy to be sharing a similar experience with her.

Something Captured :: Today, Mike and I are shooting a behind-the-scenes shoot for a friend of ours that organizes secret dinners.  Whiskey foxtrot tango, how cool is that?

Something New :: This week I'm starting the Shewanders rebranding process with Courtney of Brightly Designed.  I'm excited to share our new vision over the next few months and collaborate with such an incredible artist.

Something Challenging :: Allergies...I really thought I had gotten rid of them. San Diego, you beautiful sunny mess, what is going on?

Inside Out :: Head in the Clouds

Dear Wanderers,

Here is a sweet shot of Gaiden in his car seat. I love his soft and innocent expression. He looks optimistic and light. I almost want to crop in tighter to see only his sweet face and the clouds. I’m so lucky to be documenting my family. These experiments are propelling me forward and bringing me joy.

Hugs,

S.

5 Somethings // LOVE & SUNSHINE

Something Lovely ::  Today we all took Gaidin to the park and shared a box of sees candy and El Zarape burritos.  It was me, mike, Molly the poodle, my mom, Bear, Andrea, Gaidin and my dad, who's doing much better.  It was one of those perfect Sundays.

Something Dreamy :: The weather is wild.  Is it already time to put our winter sweaters away? I'm doing a little spring cleaning.  The urge doesn't hit me too often but I've been enjoying clearing some space in my life. It reminds me of the quote "make some room for the unimaginable".

Something Captured :: I had the joy of photographing the Melton's this weekend. I love Lauren and Jeff and it's been such a treat to watch their family grow. I'm so happy for all of the love in their lives.  Jacob and William are full of spunk and so much fun to be around.

Something New :: I've started to create some fine art prints on our incredible archival Canon printer.  This week I started with some valentines for my family and I'm so excited to really dig in and create some tangible art.

Something challenging :: Did valentines come early this year? Ouch I still have a few cards to send out!

xoxo
