A few weeks ago we took our Westfalia to the Alabama Hills in Lone Pine, CA for a long weekend away. We wanted to get some sun, relax, and have a little adventure. This was only our second roadtrip in our Westfalia, and the last trip it rained almost the entire time. I'm a big fan of the desert, so when Adam showed me this place I instantly wanted to go! I hadn't even ever heard of it, but it's a similar vibe to Joshua Tree, except it's BLM land and not a national park. Which means you can camp anywhere (they have campgrounds nearby too), and your dog can roam around with you anywhere.

Show Me Your Mumu & Film Photography Talk
Most of you know that I'm a wedding photographer (on top of running this blog), so obviously photos are super important to me! It also means that sometimes I get to teach my friends photography stuff, like shooting film, and they just so happen to need a subject to shoot ;) I think a lot of photographers don't like being on the other side of the camera, but I actually do. It sounds vein, I know haha, but it's actually great practice for putting yourself in your clients shoes, and I've always been a fan of documenting my own life.

Our Vacation To Kauai And Why It's My Favorite
This was hands down my favorite vacation. I can't really pinpoint what one thing made it so great, because everyday there was so fun. The island of Kauai is quite different then Maui where I'd been twice before. It's more lush then Maui, had so many different types of landscapes for being a tiny island, had the most delicious, authentic tasting food, and some of the nicest people. We spent 9 days in our VRBO that sat just a few steps from the sand, which was basically our own private beach.

Our Master Bedroom Makeover At The Poff Pad
This room started as a tan box, so of course I painted it ALL white. A nice, cool white with no warm tones. We slowly got furniture for it, as we'd been sleeping on our mattress on the floor in our last few houses and also didn't have nightstands. The mid century modern dresser was a find from Craigslist when we lived in SLO, and we refinished it to have a darker stain compared to the red one it came with.
