As some of you may know I was out of town unexpectedly for six weeks with my husband and his family in Illinois. We recently got back to San Francisco and I’m officially back to work full-time. I won’t elaborate on our time there, just to say that we lost a truly incredible woman to cancer and I wouldn’t have traded those six weeks for anything. I admire my husband and his sister more than I could imagine. We’ve been reminded of all the blessings in our lives and one of those things is my job and the incredible people I get to meet.

If you’ve emailed me recently or follow me on twitter you’ll know that Joe and I had to extend our stay with his family in Southern Illinois. My mother in law, Marilyn is very sick with brain and spinal cancer that developed after a year long battle with Inflammatory breast cancer. It’s been a sad holiday for us but we’re ultimately thankful to have this time with her. We’re finding that slowing down and just being with family has been a wonderful gift. We’ve been playing in the snow, warming up by the fire, watching tons and tons of movies, cooking, and just being together.

I’m really loving this simple and straightforward ad campaign by WP Lavori in Corso for Woolrich. The photographers are Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, fine art photographers based in London. I read a short article about the shoot in the Dec 09 issue of pdn but you can see more imagery from the shoot here and I’ve included the behind the scenes video below.

It’s been SUPER CRAZY over here at Modern Kids. Apologies to anyone who is waiting on an email from me. We had four shoots this weekend between two of us (Eugenia shot this weekend, yay!). I’m trying to squeeze in a few more spots for the holidays – I only have weekday availability left but Jenna will have some weekend spots in San Francisco if you book asap. Email me directly at hello(at)modernkidsphoto.com for more info.

Happy Monday, everyone! I have newborns on my mind because I’m waiting on three of them to arrive this month…so very exciting. Therefore I thought I’d share a fun nursery room via one of my favorite design/kid/family blogs, Ohdeedoh. You can see the full post on this clever and well-designed room over on their blog here.
Enjoy + stay tuned for some recent shoots!

sister, -noun; a female offspring having both parents in common with another offspring; female sibling.
If this is a the technical definition of ’sister’ then I would argue ‘little sister’ needs a definiton all its own. It might go something like this:
little sister, -noun; female offspring, prone to lifelong torment of older sister including profound levels of mimickry, stealing of prized possessions including clothing and jewelry, never-ending admiration and obsessive tendencies toward older sister, and last but not least dramatic personality traits which are known to cause great duress to older sister.

If you’re procrastinating this Halloween, join the club. I always try to think of something really clever but let’s face it, it’s hard to be clever. Last year in an attempt to be decidedly non-sexy (in a silent protest of the typical female costume), I was a poor excuse for Juno (the Ellen Paige variety, not the city). This year I’m wishing that I wasn’t such a procrastinator. These diy bird + owl masks from Martha Stewart look relatively easy to make and are a little creepy, in a good way.

My apologies for a few delayed emails this week. Joe and I flew to the East Coast for an extra-long weekend vacation with my family. It was such a fun time full of sand, perfect weather, delicious food, and lazy afternoons. Here are a few images. I’ll be sure to share more soon!

If you follow me on twitter you’ll know that I just had a mini camping vacation with some of my best girlfriends. We converged on Big Sur from Puerto Rico, Santa Barbara, Oakland, and San Francisco. Parts of our vacation are top secret but I was able to disclose a few things we did…
