Home is where the heart is and this is our home! We are lucky enough to have this little piece of magic in our backyard! Photographing life in Santa Cruz, California offers up lots of beautiful places. Let me tell you that we have been to the boardwalk a dozen times, but this time was very very special.

Have I told you guys that my goal this year is to fully document the story of my kids?

It was fabulous to only worry about feeding myself and being able to use two hands while enjoying a meal. Ha, imagine me using both my hands without having to tend to another human. Don't get me wrong, I love my babies, but everyone deserves a little break. So a girlfriend and I...
Read MoreThis is reality and one day I hope to wake up knowing I had a full life. I am not comfortable photographing the elderly, but these moments are special and a true part of life.
