Historic Fullerton

This weekend I woke up super early for a saturday morning and went on a downtown walking tour of my new community, Fullerton. Alongside some of my best friends, we learned how the Amerige Brothers found this beautiful city amongst wild mustard fields in 1887 and began developing it in 1904. If you want to…

Santa Ynez: Springtime in Wine Country

If you have been following my blog for a while, one of the things you would know is that I LOVE wine tasting. It’s one of John and I’s favorite things to do together. So when the Bollows asked us to join them for a trip up the coast to go wine tasting in Santa…

    A field of poppies? THAT IS MY DREAM!!!! Gorgeous girl!

    PS – I SO owe you an email about Cali plans! I haven’t forgotten — this month is already getting away from me!

Photo Wall: Help Me Decide

β€œThat which we elect to surround ourselves with becomes the museum of our soul and the archives of our experiences,” said by Thomas Jefferson. I found this quote somewhere on Apartment Therapy one day as I was perusing their fabulous website and it totally motivated me for the theme John and I are doing for…

    I think you should add color!

  • KatieApril 14, 2011 - 8:21 am

    Crap, I’m no help in this one. I love all the photos, thus want you to use ALL of them somehow on the wall. πŸ™‚ I think if I had to pick, I’d pick the top photo arrangement though. And then somehow work in that rad colorful bus shot. πŸ™‚

  • Blair Van BusselApril 14, 2011 - 9:11 am

    I personally like the blue/brown combo πŸ™‚

  • Jackie FariaApril 14, 2011 - 9:23 am

    I like the color approach

  • MarciApril 14, 2011 - 9:29 am

    I like the top one best. The one with all the orange somehow bothers my eyes…its like it doesn’t mesh with the rest.
    You know the best thing? If you don’t like it you can always change it again. Bored? Move the furniture around and change the pictures….LOL

    They both have a very different feel. On one hand I really like the calming feeling that the blues and browns have, and on the other the color that the warm tones gives really makes it pop. I think that if you want more of an impact, go with the colorful approach. While both are beautiful I think you’d have more people saying “WOW!” when they walk in your home.

    Color! Color! Color!
    But I would still put less on the wall and not go so low on the wall.

  • Salina RaderMay 12, 2011 - 11:35 am

    I like the first arrangement! By the way, your house looks GORGEOUS!

  • Chris ReyesMay 28, 2011 - 11:35 pm

    Though the blue theme is more visually unified it’s bound to be taken over by sky and water shots. Careful arrangement will make the color approach work and make it easier to incorporate more images as you continue to travel!

Sipping Wine in Paso Robles

When meeting new people, they often ask me what I like to do for fun. I usually ramble on about my love for photography, my secret romance with jumping into cold water and swimming 2500 yards or how much I miss doing yoga regulary. I might confess to them that I am totally addicted to…

  • Jackie FariaJanuary 7, 2011 - 2:09 am

    Love the picture of you too together so cute!
    My grandparents are big winey’s as I call them (I’m sure that not a real word), so I’ve learned to drink white wine, red is a little too strong. I’ve always wanted to go wine tasting but the fiancee doesn’t drink wine… boo =(

    Yep! Every so often I get away from the craziness and check out your stunning photos.

Historic Fullerton

Almost three years ago, John and I moved from Silverlake to the community of Whittier. We left a beautiful apartment where I lived for seven years, a community I loved and a culture that just oozes cool. Because of a crazy landlady situation, we had to move and move fast. Considering I had worked in…
