I was in London last year for my 30th Birthday, which was absolutely wonderful, but it meant that I didn’t get to celebrate with my favorite friends back home in Northern California.

And this year I was so busy that I almost dismissed the whole birthday celebrating thing altogether. But my dear friend Rebecca said, “No way.” She wanted to celebrate since I was not here last year, and that was a really nice feeling.

So here we are at a wonderful hidden little beach in Pt Reyes in October. And my new Birthday tradition… formal portraits with the Rollei.
