Sarah - Thanks for the comments! @jen I shot with the Contax 645 with the new Kodak Portra 220 and it was mostly fine except I have to rely the autofocus on the Contax which can sometimes feel like you’re wrestling an aligator. It’s a little difficult but the Blairs were so wonderful and patient so it went well. Thanks again!

June 20, 2011 - 1:31 pm

jen - Speechless…simply speechless. And what camera did you wind up using? I am sorry if I missed this in your post, but the photos are amazing.

sharmyn - Image 5 and 7 look amazingly like Carl Larsson paintings. Really beautiful work. You should always shoot with film! We forget what an art it is and the beautiful quality of the light and color. Really great!

Stella McCartney Kids Spring/Summer Collection 2011 // kids fashion

I love everything Stella McCartney does for kids. Have you seen her Spring/Summer Collection for kids yet? She believes in making clothes that are fun and non-restrictive for little ones (kids everywhere can appreciate that). She uses the best color palettes; so bright and fresh.  I wish I could squeeze into a few of these...

Janine - I absolutely love her line for kids. There’s a few things I want to buy for my nieces lol.

thinking of Paris // Summer travel

It’s sort of shocking to admit but I have never been to Paris. I’ve been to the Middle East, spent a year in Berlin, six months on the west coast of Ireland, and even dipped myself into the Blue Lagoon in Iceland…but never Paris. I’m excited to say I’m spending a majority of May in Europe and I’ll finally be in Paris. This is our apartment in the Montorgueil Etienne Marcel in the heart of Paris. Isn’t is adorable?

Sarah - How wonderful, Damaris! Will you be blogging? I’d love to follow you guys. :)

April 18, 2011 - 12:35 pm

Sarah - Ivy, thanks so much for the comment. I grew up in a family with four kids so I know what you mean about being busy and not having time or funds for international travel. We only went on small trips as kids really close to our home and never on planes but none of us feel like we missed out. I am excited to travel with my mom, sister, and niece though. It’ll be a wonderful trip. Thanks again!

April 18, 2011 - 5:11 am

Ivy - Oh wow, a trip to Paris. I want to travel too! We are busy with 4 kiddos, my pocketbook and time will dictate when I get to see that side of the world. I will be sure to watch for updates.

Cheers~Ivy

Damaris @Kitchen Corners - The place looks amazing. We are moving our small family of 4 to Bahia Brazil this summer for a year. I desperately need to find a place.

March 22, 2011 - 4:42 pm

Sarah - Thanks Mercedes. Glad I could give you some good travel advice! ;)

March 21, 2011 - 10:10 am

Mercedes - I often visit your blog to get photography inspiration but this time I also found travel advice! AirBnb seems to be a great site for alternative accommodation. Thanks and happy travels in Paris.

Regan Baker - I can’t wait to see what your photos of your trip, especially in such an AWESOME place.

Kelly - I love that last shot. It would be heavenly to live in a beautiful building like that.

Summer treats for kids from Lisa Barnes of Petit Appetit

I just sent out our Summer 2010 Newsletter. For the very first time I featured a client who has a small-business. Lisa is a culinary educator and author. She offers classes and workshops to Bay Area parents and has published two books. She was kind enough to share some of her recipes that are great for kids in the Summertime. Here they are:
