a preview of our trip to (northern) cali this past october.

haze.

peace.

an impromptu trip to the garden last spring. the season was just starting and so bushes of hydrangea(?) were the only ones in bloom at the time, but it was enough to inspire me to produce this quick shoot;)

Two winters ago: maki, a crown from his christmas concert, and the best winter light
(and 5-10 minutes to get it all done before the little guy runs out of patience:P).

a little confetti party with maki on new years eve:)

Gelato + ZARA People!

A couple of weeks ago, Maki and I met up with his Tia and had lunch downtown. We had an amazing time! Just relaxing, soaking up the sun, with no schedule or agenda to follow:) We followed our lunch with some gelato, and as you can see, Maki has quite the appetite. After his bento box, he had 2 cups of gelato. Aaand, to my surprise, one of Maki's photos that i took on this day, was selected to be part of 'Zara People!' for May, Week 4:) Thanks Zara!!!

goodbye winter

I hate to admit it, but as much as I love snow, I'm looking forward to spring & summer. Although we received a lot of snow this year (thankfully!), it didn't come without any downside - the sun barely came out this winter. So for that, I'm done. I need sun and colour in my life. So much so, I felt compelled to add a pink light leak on my photo:P And so thank you old man winter for the magical and dreamy landscape you provided Maki and I to play and marvel at. For that, I'm grateful. But you need a rest...we all do.

SPRING CLEANING

did a tiny bit of spring cleaning on the blog today and I started with the sidebar. just like a messy room, i feel much better taking out the unnecessary links. now excuse me while i think of a new header;)

la jolla

happy new year?

I know I am late with this (seeing it is now February, and the fact that I'm always late with anything!), but I didn't do my now standard "happy new year" gifs. So here it is, and here was last year's. ;)
Anyways, the sun is shining, and there is fresh snow on the ground. February is off to a good start;)

Have a good weekend! xx
