i was a bit excited to recieve this gem in the mail yesterday. the flower recipe book by alethea harampolis and jill rizzo of studio choo. now i need a beautiful big garden where i can grow a trillion flowers!

beautiful imagery by jennifer causey of the makers project. jennifer has a lovely porfolio, you must take a peek if you haven't already, these were a few of my favorites.

sometime back in march, miss amy soderlind and i drove her little vw bus down to santa barbara, to work on a shoot for the free people blog.

the concept was 'girls roadtrip', which seemed pretty natural as we were experiencing our own roadtrip adventure ourselves.

i love taking these trips with amy, a dear dear friend whom i adore. our long drives are always filled with meaningful conversations and special happy moments, all of which i will treasure forever.

taking time out to travel long roads forces you to be nothing but present with that time and place and the people you are with, what's not to love?

of course we featured amy's yellow bus in the shoot, a great little trooper she was, 50 miles an hour, slowly but surely, she braved the rain all the way home till early hours of the morning.

our lovely models hayley and bailey (surprisingly i never confused their names) were wonderful! here are a few of my favorite pics from the day, and check out the free people blog here!

well i'm off to europe next week for some adventure, so it will be a bit quiet around here for a few weeks, i leave you with these beautiful images by sharyn cairns. you can see more images of this lovely tasmanian home here!

one of my recent shoots with the lovely rosa from finland. we shot this at my dear friend amy soderlind's home on a gorgeous vineyard in picturesque sonoma. of course amy was the wardrobe stylist for the day and jenelle oldham came onboard and styled rosa's blonde locks. it was the the perfect team and a wonderful day, easy and relaxed just how i like it!
