Hey everyone! Cameron is participating in his first pottery show, at The Potter’s Studio in Berkeley on the first two weekends in May, 10am – 6pm. His work will be out on the shelves for you to touch and fall in love with and then hopefullly buy! Please come, have a look and say hello! We’d love to see you there.

Have a look at his blog for more about how he got into pottery and why he loves clay!

Just wanted to share one sweet image from a recent glorious session with this lovely family. You may remember them from here. And here.

I have to admit… I’m kinda in love with this family.

I felt I’d mastered The Pie (after baking three cherry and two apple pies over the course of almost two months – hah!) so I thought I’d try a cobbler. Boy oh boy was that more complicated than expected.

First of all, people don’t agree on what a cobbler actually is so everyone has a variation. Some have a cake-y topping, others a harder, more biscuit-y one and yet others use a simple pie crust just on top. For some reason, this recipe looked the most like a cobbler to me so I tried it. It didn’t work out too well, was too thin and damp… although I did manage to force it down. I just tried to make it again but used a variation based on this recipe and I liked the outcome but still found it off a little bit. Clearly I’ve got to keep making this until I get it right. Right?!

Anyway, I’m no food photographer but I’m learning. Here’s a few shots of my most recent effort at peach cobbler.

What are you doing with the summer bounty of fruit?

Hiking to and around this lake with two toddlers, another mum and a babe in arms reminded me of how awesome it is to be alive and how lucky we are to live here. It was breathtaking. This Jewel Lake at Tilden Park in Berkeley. A gorgeous park.

Just updating the blog and there are some growing pains. Please excuse the oddness floating around as we sort it out! Hoping to be back to normal by the end of the weekend!

Katie & Justin (and Marcus & Kaelyn),

Meeting your family affirmed how lucky I feel to get to do this – meet beautiful families and take gorgeous portraits of them! The morning flew by and your spontaneity and connection to each other and your precious children was just a treasure to be around. And I felt like I’d always known you. Thank you for welcoming me into your family, if only for a few hours. Hope you adore these as much as I do!

xoxo
