A photo journal comprised of my thoughts on motherhood and other life happenings, as well as some of professional work as a photographer. Southern California is home.
It’s funny how easy time can get away from us. We’ve been in our new home since April but still have tons of stuff to discover. Lucky for us, summer weather is still lingering around and has provided us with ample time to visit new-to-us beaches. Last week, we checked Baby Beach off our proverbial list. The boys had a great time running in the water and playing with the sand and we vowed to make more frequent trips. We also walked around the harbor, climbed some rocks, and checked out the old ships.

My grandma rode the train into town to celebrate my dad’s birthday over the weekend, so we invited her along with us to one of our favorite spots to take Jimmie — The Dog Patch. Because of Jimmie’s horrible separation anxiety, we’ve had to adjust our lives to take him pretty much everywhere we go. We’re still training him to be able to be by himself and he’s made some good progress, but still has quite a ways to go. Anyway, we all enjoy the sand and sea and it’s always nice to return home with a tired dog and tired kids, albeit a bit dirty and sandy.

There were a few days (and by days I mean weeks) that had me wondering if summer was ever going to end. In a fit of hot rage and impulsiveness, Willy jetted out and bought an air conditioning unit that looks like some version of how ET phoned home. It’s sitting in our bedroom as I type this and I’m desperately hoping for some cooler weather so we can move that monstrosity to the garage. I can’t blame the guy; Target, Walmart, Lowes, and Home Depot were all out of fans and AC units. Sweating in your own home ain’t fun. In any event, it’s cooled down a bit. And with the crispness in the night air, we have a small taste of what fall is going to feel like. I love the change of seasons; probably because I love beginnings.

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock
I’m so stoked to have been invited to participate in the “What ____ looks like” blog circle with some other photographers I know and have loved from afar. How it works is simple; we each link to someone else’s post until the circle is complete. If you’d like, you can check out their work by following the circle starting with the lovely Kelsey Gerhard (who I’ve had to opportunity to meet in the flesh, which rocks).
