Here is my favorite QOTD from ” The Alchemist”- Paulo Coelho
“When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.”
Apples and new baby girl
February 23, 2009 – 9:36 pm
This lovely family welcomed a baby girl into their life. Mom and dad are glowing with joy (and a little sleep deprivation 
)
This apple orchard is significant to the family and it was lovely seeing all the beautiful trees surrounding their home.
Simple Abundance
January 24, 2009 – 2:30 pm
I am so incredibly thankful for our local Santa Cruz Farmers’ Markets. The farmers are out in the rain, selling their gorgeous organic produce- sharing stories about their land and what is coming into season next. What abundance we have and *waves hi to my friends in the snow* how lucky we are to live in a place where we can have produce fresh from the fields. Thank you to all the Farmers!
Tonights menu- fresh lemon, asparagus, sorrel soup (that’s sorrel in the lower right), steamed rainbow chard, and something else that will inspire me later.
If only you could smell the heady intoxicating scent that fills my home right now….

Safe in dad’s arms
Cowboy and his beauty

This newborn session resulted in some really touching images for me. I sincerely connected with this wonderful family.
Isn’t this image of dad simply amazing? Rugged and tender at the same time.
Beach Connections

I love the clarity of her expression here.
And connecting with mom is so very important.
Curiosity at the Beach
December 8, 2008 – 2:35 pm
I adore this little one’s expression- pure curiosity
And this image has a timelessness about it that I find really charming.
And play time with dad is always fun!
Four Legged Friends

Just two four legged family members from an amazing pregnancy Session
I love the stripe of gray in this elder’s mane
Soft Purple Nursery
December 2, 2008 – 12:19 am
I loved the feel of this beautiful soft purple and green nursery- so much so that I couldn’t resist grabbing a few in color. 
Mom and dad were so smitten by this beautiful baby girl.
And just look at this beauty…
