Field Trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium | Bay Area Homeschool Mom

Aug 3, 2018

We bought a membership to the Monterey Bay Aquarium last year thinking we would make the time to go out and visit a few times. We have literally been once in the last year. ONCE. I’m going to try to make it at least one other time before the membership expires so I don’t feel […]

Location Scouting: Alviso Salt Flats | San Jose Family Lifestyle Photographer

Jan 29, 2018

These images were taken when the salt flats were drained. They are currently under water at the Alviso Marina. From my understanding, they are not drained very often and we were lucky to have caught them when we did!

Our Summer Vacation | California Family Photographer

Sep 14, 2017

School started on August 30, so the week before we headed to San Diego and Orange County for a last minute vacation to end the summer. We usually drive down, but tickets were super cheap and we used points for the rental car and most of our hotel so it ended up being a fairly […]

Summer Stories: Road Trip to Mendocino | East Bay Family Photographer

Aug 7, 2017

In June, my mom came to visit (she and my dad still live on the island of Guam) and we decided to take a little road trip up to Mendocino. I hadn’t been and the week she came was so dang hot (it hit 100 degrees and we don’t have AC!) that we were glad […]

Tahoe Camping | California Travel Photographer

Nov 29, 2016

I’ve been meaning to blog these since September when we took this trip, but work and life got in the way, but better late than never, right? We drove out to Tahoma Labor Day weekend. We left around noon on Friday thinking we’d get a leg up on traffic and proceeded to sit in it […]

Visiting Santa Cruz | Bay Area Travel Photographer

Aug 24, 2016

Any time a friend asks if I want to head out to Santa Cruz for the day I can’t help but say yes. There’s just something about that town that has my heart. I love the laid back vibe that I think goes missing in the Bay Area sometimes. On a recent trip we stopped […]
