animal art.

I love going to museums. Last year, I discovered the New Children's Museum downtown, and not only do my girls love it, but I do too. It features the work of local artists and I think the different rooms and activities are just brilliant. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!





















Much love,

feeling inspired.

I feel calm while hearing the rain pour and the wind blow against my window. I love the sounds and smell of rain. It's days like today that I feel the most inspired.

For months, I've been ripping pages from my favorite magazines, hoping one day I can organize them in such a way that I can look back at them and find inspiration. The images that I chose definitely evoke a sense of emotion and feeling, something that I aspire to show through my own images. I realized as I was ripping away, that I started to tear out more of the design elements. I've discovered how much I really love and appreciate the little details. I totally admire those who are crafty.

Lately, my favorite magazines/catalogs are from Marie Claire, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters. I can spend hours walking through Anthropologie. I'm in awe of all of the quirky, cute objects + art that are randomly placed throughout the store.



And so, a few days ago, I was at Barnes + Noble (no surprise, there) and found the perfect journal for these images. Love it!





Thank you to my little sweetheart for letting me borrow her scissors :)

Much love,

Daisy

An Artist [Exposed]

Every so often, I crave a fun shoot with style, motion and a wide array of feelings. I was hoping it would rain during the shoot, but was happy nonetheless with overcast skies. Mmm....soft, even light makes me happy.

Hope you enjoy looking through these images as much as I had fun creating them :)



Make a wish!















I'm only happy when it rains...















Thank you to my beautiful friend, Melissa, for coming out and totally rocking it in front of the camera!

Much love,

We love to walk/hike and just be outdoors. Yesterday, we decided to head to Lake Cuyamaca, which is about 40 miles east of San Diego. The spiraling drive up there is absolutely gorgeous.

The walk around the lake is 3.5 miles. It was so serene and beautiful.



Happy Monday!

It was supposed to rain that day. Instead we were under a massive cloud of gray...and I loved it!

Melissa has so much to offer

A New Beginning...

01.01.10





As every year, we all have our ups and downs. Luckily, I feel very blessed to have my health, a home and a family that loves me. There are many things that I need to improve on as an individual - I am definitely a work in progress. In the meantime, I am enjoying life, taking everything in and savoring every moment. I hope you're doing the same.

Happy New Years!!!

Much love,

Daisy
