SNAP CLASS! | LOS ANGELES

Our first Snap Class! was held at the beautiful Beachwood Studios. Geronimo Balloons was sweet enough to give us a bunch of balloons to decorate the space

Disregarden provided all the furniture, accessories and fun vintage props for the students to photograph

AUTUMN ORCHARD

These were also taken over Thanksgiving weekend in Ojai. I clearly have a fascination with fruit trees. Fall colors are so captivating. 

OLIVE ORCHARD

The olive tree is my most favorite of all trees. I love the contrast of the silvery green leaves and the purple olives. Ojai is filled with olive orchards, so on the drive to my family's house I made sure to stop and take a few photos. 

SNAPSHOTS FROM THANKSGIVING

It's hard to beat Thanksgiving in Ojai and I am sure you can see why. Like every year I spend it in my hometown with my family and our closest friends. Lilly (pictured above) is my oldest friend in the world. At this point she is like a sister to me and it is such a complete joy to spend time with her and her beautiful growing family. How was your Thanksgiving my dears? More photos from my weekend in Ojai coming soon. 

SNAPSHOTS FROM NEW YORK

Since I was already flying through New York to get to Martha's Vineyard, I figured I might as well make a trip out of it and hang out in my favorite city (other than LA of course). I got to visit with my dear friend Teissia and my sister Merry, eat at some amazing restaurants, meet up with some old friends and new, be in a St. Lucia music video and even got a little work done as well. It was some of the most fun I've had in a very long time. Actually it has me craving a trip back there very soon. 

Some notable stops on this trip:

Maison Premiere

ABC Kitchen

Bakeri

Jack's Wife Freda

Reynards

Cafe Select

Bluebird Coffee Shop

Lennox Coffee

Gasoline Alley Coffee

The Butcher's Daughter

Marlow and Sons
Roberta's

One of my favorite parts of the trip was getting to catch up with a blog buddy @aboyce18 and meet some of my instagram/blog friend's in person, @emily__johnston, @nicole_franzen and @aguynamedpatrick. Sometimes the internet is just awesome. 

Check out the St. Lucia music video I was part of. I'm in it a couple times!
