Film Fridays: July Edition
Its the end of the month and that means that it is another edition of Film Fridays. Film Fridays is a creative effort on the part of a handful of photographers to get out and shoot a roll of film, and if there are some keeper…well we share it on our blogs. This month I actually decided to go with the theme, which is flowers.
I love it when my kids and my husband surprise me with a bouquet or two when they return from their shopping trip to Trader Joes. Just the fact that they see the flowers and think to themselves, “Mommy would really like those, or let’s get those for Mommy.” warms my heart. It’s the little things. On this particular night I asked each of them to pose with the flowers that they bought for me.
My son chose sunflowers. He says that they are my favorite because they look like the sun, and I love the sun for my photography. Such a thoughtful boy.
My daughter chose pink gerbers. She says she chose pink because it is her favorite color, and I like what she likes. She’s right, too.
Now joining me this week for Film Fridays is my friend Cara Richardson. It’s winter where she lives and I love checking in with her from the other side of the planet!
Me and Mine

french delights | food photography
French macarons are quite popular right now, and in my opinion right up there with gourmet cupcakes, and chocolate and wine pairing trends you see here in the Bay Area. Baking and photography are probably my two most favorite artistic outlets and so I was determined to learn how to make this delightful french dessert. In actuality this was my second try at making them, the first time was disastrous. I am a huge fan of Helene Dujardin and her foodie blog Tartlette. And so in my quest to get these right, I headed straight to her blog to read “demystifing macarons”. Her tips did the trick, and I produced my first successful batch of macarons. Nate called them, “little hamburgers”, but said they tasted merveilleux (wonderful).

summer nights | desserts
Warm summer nights invite a bit of creamy indulgence that at any other time of year would leave me with a bit of a chill. Two of my favorite sweets, vanilla bean ice cream and freshly picked strawberries, meld together to make the perfect Summer Night dessert.
