As you all may know already, before Photography, I was actually studying to become a pastry chef. I studied at an international culinary school in Paris, and subsequently worked at a local pâtisserie, where I met my husband. We both dream of one day opening up our own pastry shop here in California, and we […]

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough.” – Melody Beattie Some days it’s easy to fixate on the things that we may lack: disappointments mount, frustration builds, expectations go unmet, and our hearts are restless for reassurance that never seems to come.

Before I had my children, I had thought, like many others, that breastfeeding was fairly simple and straightforward.  The “hard part” that everyone talks about is the obvious hurdle of extracting or expelling a 6 – 10 lb […]
