  • Farm Flower Photos (this is film)

    Our first ever Farm Flower Photos with Chloris Floral and Grace and Gather at Windrush Farm was so beautiful, we can hardly stand it… Outside the barn was crazy with rain and hail storms, but inside our barn was like… We had so much fun that we would love to do it again. At another farm. In…

  • Stop collaborate and listen…

    Holy Jenga, the sun came up on a new year. (After 2016, I wasn’t so sure it would.) But the last thing we need is another blog post about how bad things were in 2016. I figure, since most of our history books are filled with one-sided perspectives, and those perspectives aren’t always very factual……

  • Have you ever done an aerial shoot and/or are you interested in doing one?

    My reply: Yes and very much yes…. Thank you, MALT, for the work you do protecting farmland and for working with me for the past 10 years. This was my favorite MALT photo shoot yet. And thank you to my excellent pilot, John, for the incredible early morning tour. I’m happy to fly with you again any…

  • After Three Years…

    Three years of photo shoots (60 families, 50 weddings, 40 businesses, 30 Fibershed, 25 portraits, 7 books and one documentary movie) later and I have finally updated my website.… It is very exciting to see so many of the people, businesses, books, nonprofits and documentary projects I have photographed all living together on one website. Every single day I feel incredibly lucky to be able to support my…

  • the most beautiful home birth I almost saw…

    If you asked me how my home birth was, you would not hear me say, “My home birth was beautiful.” Instead I very honestly would tell you, “It was extremely long, incredibly painful and very, very messy. I can understand why drugs were invented and why people take them.” Between endless hours of back-breaking contractions,…

  • the best present ever…

    After spending the month of November buying a house, remodeling, moving, photographing families and sending out photos for other people’s Christmas presents… it was time for me to think about my own Christmas presents. But I was feeling unmotivated, broke and out of time (we only had 18 days in our new home before our…

  • it is all about people…

    I may photograph food, products, events, and flowers… but for me, it is all about the people. So I get excited when family portrait season comes around and families invite me in to their homes for an hour, or even better, for an afternoon, and I get to play… I enjoy it so much that…

  • Homage…

    I am excited to kick off a creative new year with a group photography show at Toby’s Feed Barn in Point Reyes Station… Each photographer was asked to pay “homage” to something and I chose to pay “homage” to the amazing women I have been lucky to photograph. We would love for you to come…

  • Why Am I Doing This Again… (Best of 2011)…

    Once again I feel so incredibly lucky because 2011 was another very good photography year for me. Not only were two books with my photography published this year… (Harvesting Color by Rebecca Burgess.) (Cooking My Way Back Home by Mitchell Rosenthall.) But I also started work on my third book… And I had two photographs…
