A few weeks ago I did a lifestyle photoshoot for Summer Solace Tallow a brand that makes holistic, ethical, and organic Regenerative Tallow® skincare, soaps, and candles, sustainably handcrafted in Oakland, CA.

Winter in Lassen National Park transforms the landscape into a serene wonderland of snow-covered peaks, frozen lakes, and frosted forests. Shot with my new Leica Q3 camera.

The Eastern Sierra captivates with its breathtaking vistas, making it an ideal backdrop for fall photoshoots.

The Trona Pinnacles is one of the most unusual geological features in the California Desert making it a unique backdrop for any photoshoot.

For the past 4 years, our group of mother/daughter friends have going on a 2-night backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada. It’s time to hike, relax, chat, slow down and have fun.

This month I am sharing a set from our summer in France. I exclusively used my point and shoot Olympus mju II 2.8 35mm camera for this set. I love how soft, romantic and vintage these look.

Last week I spent a morning shooting the facinating creating process of Diana Markessinis in her studio in Alameda. Diana sculpt unique pieces that she calls weirdos until they become pieces of art.

For spring break we took off to Mexico City - it was our 1st time there! What a big crazy city! We loved all the food, the architecture, the different neighborhoods, the museums, the history, the markets, the colors and of course the people. We can’t wait to go back!

We rented a couple of campervans and went off the grid for a few days. We found dispersed camping spots that were great and were able to take a break and enjoy the Arizona desert.

The first summer of the pandemic, for the first we did not flew back to France. It was our chance to go on the road to discover some of the states we did not know. We rented a sprinter van and off we went. We mostly stayed in dispersed camping spots, and a few Hipcamp spots.

I visited Sea Ranch and decided to dust off my film camera. I own a Leica M7 with several Leica Lenses. I used 10 year old films and here is what came out. I love the softness of the film and strange colors the old films gave to the pictures.

Since we have been asked to stay put and not travel we have had the time to explore more trails and have more adventures locally. Here are our favorites - Part. II

Since the shelter in place started last march we have been craving the outdoors. We have been looking for new trails to explore around the bay area. Here are our favorites.

The White Rim Road with Sprinter Campervan - one for the most beautiful and difficult experience of my life!

Every year for Thanksgiving my family go on a road trip around Arizona with another family. We have been doing a road trip around the Southwest for 4 years in a row at Thanksgiving.

Last Labor Day week, Liz’s family took us on a backpacking trip in the High Sierra. It was without any doubt one of the best family weekend we’ve had in a long time.

Last summer, instead of going to France like we usually do, we rented a camper van and went on a 3 week road trip around the American north west.
