Rena Tom; entrepreneur, co-founder, mother, writer, consultant, wife, speaker, friend, damn fine beauty.
I so enjoyed shooting with Rena Tom a few weeks back. She is one seriously talented hardworking woman who, if you can believe it, does not like the idea of her photo being taken one bit. Challenge accepted …
… then these.
Some of my most favorite portraits taken to date.
Thank you, thank you for entrusting me with the task, lovely!

this joy + ride … the in-betweeners.
Some previously unpublished images from my ‘in-betweeners’ project and a bit about how I am wiling away these sweet Summer months in issue 69 of this joy + ride today. Thank you for having me, Sheri and Shari!

first cricket!
Last week I had the privilege to shoot with Megan Miller of Bitty Foods. She led a Sprouts Cooking Club class in Berkeley teaching the kids how to bake with cricket flour… and this was the moment when more than half of them volunteered to eat a whole roasted cricket. The boy in the bottom left hesitated until I put down the camera and we ate one together on the count of three. It was delicious (AND nutritious) – I’d say it tasted a bit like a roasted chickpea.
Megan and her team are poised to help change the way we think about food. Crickets are one of the most sustainable forms of protein on the planet. Last May, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization published an incredible report concluding that edible insects may be the key to stabilizing the global food supply. Watching these kids go from skeptical to proudly eating the cookies they made in a few short hours had me not only excited but also reminded that this kind of thinking, taught when we are young, is one of the best ways to exact change.
Stay tuned for another post with more images from our shoot very soon!

voyage of bon!
A French-themed dinner party was in order since annie and eric were off to paris this week and because jen and bob are headed there next month for jen’s grande summer of 40…
annie and eric.
petit paper fleurs and cold, dry, pink wine.
beau chat Bonney!
golden hour bobby and la bière de la tour eiffel.
serious delish spread courtesy of Jen.
truly, some of the loveliest and best people that I know.
j’ai fait la vichyssois and since I did, I will say that – yes – it tasted nice (mmm lemon zest and creme fraiche) but perhaps more like a well seasoned liquidy cold mashed potato? guess I am not really a cold soup gal (the heated leftovers were mmmmmmm).
this, every time, this.
out comes the speakeasy growler (and the chiminea fire).
gorgeous, delightful, tried and true jen.
I then tucked the camera away and completely forgot to shoot annie’s spectacular tarte tatin/upside down cake until the next morning. I had it for breakfast with my bulletproof coffee (which I pretended was an au lait) and started scheming how to get myself into one of those damn suitcases.
… et voici à vos merveilleux week-end, les amis!
