The Getty

The Getty, Los Angeles


By far one the highlights of my recent LA trip was a visit to the Getty. From the start, going up on the tram, to first statues. The best thing about this museum is the sculptural and architectural detail (if you are going for the indoor permanent collection you may be disappointed). However I lucked out and saw a good modern photography exhibit and picked up some cute stuff at the gift shop. By far the most wonderful thing was that we went on a clear blue sky (no smog) day. The architecture and outdoor gardens were breathtaking. It is definitely a place you could wander around for hours, bring a picnic, and take in all the sculptural elements. Big thumbs up!

An Olympics themed Bat Mitvah

Southbury, & Washington, CT


So it has taken me just a wee longer then intended to get this blog posted. It seems that I had  thought I had.

I absolutely adore the entire Cooper family and was so honored to shoot Julia's  big day. She was so sure of herself, confident radiant and absolutely composed, I only wish at thirteen I was that pulled together! Here are some images from the party afterwards, which was held at  the Washington club. Totally rocking Olympics themed party.

Malibu

Hanging out in Malibu is definitely my favorite thing to do in southern California. I love Malibu Seafood (the fish tacos are a must). Watched the sunset, feet in sand at two different beaches, Must stop next time for cocktails at sunset at Paradise cove!

love is in the air

I couldn't resist these perfectly imperfect tomatoes picked this summer from my mothers garden. I was just waiting for the perfect time to show them off. With Valentines day just around the corner, it seemed like the perfect time to show these most perfectly imperfect heirlooms to the world! Love and hearts from the northwest corner of Connecticut. XOXOX

Marty's

Washington Depot, CT.


My biggest morning inspiration? Well, that would be a double latte, and well, on those oh so special occasions a side of coffee crumb cake from Marty's cafe in Washington Depot..with well, a side of CT magazine for a little browsing drooling over all the gorgeous kitchens this month. And to top if off... my new iPhone with mega mega pixels, for those moments I don't want to lug around those ten pounds of equipment. The icing foam on top? Playing around with Instagram. Follow me if you would, I would love to see your pictures too!
