welcome, Harper Faye!

One of my very best friends in the universe became a mom the other day. I am so incredibly happy for her. I spent two wonderful days with baby Harper and she stole my heart. Congratulations to T & M! p.s. We didn’t have much time for photography. We put Harper on the butcher block...

in love with linen // clothing for travel

As you might already know I’m  headed to Europe for most of May. I’ll be lugging around one very heavy rolley-bag with just gear. Therefore I’m trying to limit the amount of clothing I bring to one small bag, (gulp). I love this idea in theory but I’m not sure I can pull this off....

palm springs with kids // travel

Last month Joe and I took a trip to Palm Springs with some of our dearest friends and their tiny kiddos. We didn’t do much at all and that was the best part. Enjoy a few images from that trip. I left my digital camera at home.

Lezlie - #1 Reason why we love our Sweet Sarah:
a.) because she is a gifted and mesmerizing photographer.
b.) because she can dance in a grownups onesie better than J.Lo.
c.) because she shoots pictures of us in our swimsuits and posts them onto her wildly popular blog. ;)
d.) because her heart, which is the largest thing about her pixie size self, is HUGE!
The answer: e.) ALL OF THE ABOVE!

Ace bear, Palm Springs, 2010 | modern family photographer, San Francisco + New York

It’s amazing how exciting it can be to pick up film from the lab. Today I picked up some film from our trip to Palm Springs and it felt like Christmas morning. If you’ve only ever known digital photography you should give film a try every now and again just to experience how different the entire process it. Not only do you slow down while shooting but the anticipation of having to wait to see your images makes it all the more special. It reminds me of the feeling I had when I first fell in love with the magic of emulsion. Enjoy one image of the little bear I found at the Ace Hotel. More images to come soon…

Sarah - Hi Shelly,

I did process my own images but the color stuff wasn’t totally old-school with chemicals, etc. I forget the name of the monster machine we had but it was totally great to print late at night and wait for warm images to roll out of the machine. I (sort of) miss those days. :)

Shelly - I imagine that you processed your own images in college (I did). Remember the magic of a color darkroom. I have a box of some of my old work that I secretly go smell sometimes to remember all those long nights printing film… darkroom chemicals, it may be weird but sooooooo good.

Sarah - Me too, Samaria. Wish we were headed back this weekend. ;)

Samaria - I love the texture that film creates. Also, I love the ACE!!!

on vacation…mostly, Palm Springs | modern family photographer, San Francisco

Happy Saturday! I’m on vacation but thought I’d share a quick image. We’re staying here in Palm Springs, CA. We’re spending our days riding bikes, eating, and sitting by the pool. By night we’re listening to records and warming our feet by the fire because the desert gets cold at night! I hope you’re having...

Anna B - Of course you would be at the Ace. I’ve only drooled over it forever!!! :) I am wishing you lots of drinks and feet up on a lounge chair with a good book and deep breaths of fresh air. All sans large computer monitor and mouse!

Rachel - I love the photo!

Silvana - Enjoy. We loved the ACE and had such a good time. I think we’ll head there every year. Cannot wait to see your film shots. Cheers!
