Instameet at the Huntington Gardens

I had the privilege of meeting up with some beautiful and creative ladies a few months ago at the Huntington in Pasadena. The Huntington is one of my favorite places… you can check out some of my previous visits here and a family session I recently posted here. This particular day was dreadfully hot. Van left with heat rash. Hooper’s hair was, um, sweaty. All for the sake of the gram,

right? (Willy’s going to kill me for using the word “gram”… and I’m not gonna lie, I kinda hate myself for using it too).

So you better believe we were “those people”. You know, those ones that walk with their phone out in front of them like it’s a metal detector looking for treasure. We were also those people that may have asked to use your umbrella for a few moments cuz’ it made a good photo prop. Sometimes ya just gotta be that person. Hooper and Van tagged along, so ya know, people have a hard time looking at you like you’re crazy with the munchkins in tow.
I try to learn from every photo situation I find myself in. Here’s what I added to the list today:
-Stop blaming the heat. Every time it’s hot, I blame it for zapping my creativity. When I’m in it and the sweat is dripping down my front and back, I use it as an excuse. When I get home and look at what the ol’ camera has on it, I think of at least 5 other great shots I could have done. In the comfort of my air conditioned home, the juices start flowing again. So, I need to get over the heat.
-Leave the kids at home. Sure, this doesn’t always work out. I would have loved to leave them behind for the couple hours that we were there but paying for a babysitter doesn’t always make financial sense and no one was around for me to leave them with. So, you do what ya gotta do. Maybe I could teach them how to fan me so I can get over the aforementioned.
In any event, it was a great day and I really enjoyed meeting some new people. Special thanks to the lovely Sisilia for arranging the meetup.

The Huntington Library

There’s nothing in the world like a best friend. When I’m with mine, it feels like the stars align. Things that are normally a chore are no longer a chore. Parenting responsibilities become shared and picking up after her munchkin doesn’t feel the same in terms of “work” as picking up after

We enjoyed an evening at the Huntington Gardens complete with music, beer & wine, and family. This was part of Van’s birthday weekend, aka the best weekend of summer yet.

Sisterly Love.

There is a bond that only siblings have the privilege of knowing. My sister and I didn’t always have the most in common growing up and we fought often. We are 19 months apart. But once we became adults, our friendship flourished. She’s taught me a lot about life and myself and it’s because of my relationship with her that I look so forward to the friend Hooper will soon have for life in his brother Van. My sister came out to visit over the weekend to celebrate my birthday and watch the US gymnastics Olympic trials. We joined my parents Saturday evening at the Huntington Library in Pasadena for a picnic and tunes from the roaring 20’s. It was a splendid evening. I laughed so hard I cried, I think we all did, compliments of the face juggler app on the iPhone. I highly recommend checking it out. Here’s some shots from our Saturday evening.
