Last night was a fun evening… I was hired to photograph one of San Francisco’s greenest events, EcoChic. It’s all about green and all about chic, and the vendors had really cool wares for sale… I’ll post more images later, but this is one of my favorites… it has such a vintage feeling about it!

After that I got to judge image awards at the photography association, and hang out with some fellow PPGBA friends and Mercury Megaloudis, Australia’s Photographer of the Year, and really fun party animal. Today I attended his seminar that we hosted in San Francisco, and despite being a bit ragged from the night before, I am renewed and inspired!

I am bursting with pride!! My image of Josh entitiled “The World Unknown,” which scored the highest I have ever scored in print competition back in June has just been featured on the cover of The Bulletin, which is the Professional Photographers of the Great Bay Area’s monthly magazine!

I just love this image because it sums up so much of how motherhood makes me feel… like your precious little one is on the edge of brand new experiences and adventures every day. They are so small in such a big world, and yet they are so curious and eager to learn.

My dear friend, Anna Myers, hosted the PPGBA Four Nights Workshop tonight at her studio in Alameda. She did a fantastic job, and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world! The topic was portraiture in available light. She brought in 3 models for the groups to photograph including her amazing gorgeous daughter, Sula. I met Sula when I met Anna – about 5 years ago at Golden Gate School. She’s just a joy to photograph, and honestly, can you take a bad photo of someone this beautiful??? Thanks to Anna and Sula (and our other great models too) for a great workshop!
