It was one of my top favorite places I’ve photographed… magical.

After we finished our day, we decided to take a little road trip down the coast… the most beautiful coast.

Beautiful girls…

And with the magazine, I am also launching the first shoot I did for Matilda Jane Clothing.  This was the biggest shoot I’ve done to date and it was absolutely the most fun I’ve ever had!!  I had this amazing group to work with (you’ve got to check out the video Jeff Holt did for us- adorable)…

Email me with your addresses and I will get the dresses right out to you!! Thank you so much to everyone that entered (wish I could have given one to everyone… love their dresses so much!)

Second… we’ve been over here behind the scenes working on so many fun projects.  It is always exciting to see them release so that I can share them with you (I am not a patient person at all so the anticipation is a killer!  haha).  I’ve done a couple of projects with Matilda Jane Clothing and it has been a blast.  Working with a company with such vision and love for what they do is so inspiring and I am giddy that I can start sharing bits & pieces with you all…
