Spring? :: Orange County Photographer

Snow in April?  A sight all-too-common in Utah, which is where we spent spring break this year.  I love the combination of snow and spring blossoms.  There's something encouraging about it. (Note -- these images were taken in the afternoon, except the last one, after most of the snow had melted.)

And, just for fun, my favorite picture of my 3-year-old enjoying the snow. Literally.

The Violinist :: Orange County Portrait Photographer

My mother graciously agreed to model for me while I was visiting her a couple weeks ago.  She is a fabulous violinist, and I wanted to capture the beauty of this instrument alongside my radiant mother.  (This was also part of an assignment for my class in which I had to capture an object outside of its natural environment.)

Spring Lily :: Orange County Photographer

My favorite flowers are Stargazer Lilies.  My husband knows this.  And every so often he stops on his way home to pick up a bouquet for me.  (The reason this weekend was to bring a little happiness in the gloomy rain.) Until yesterday, I never really paid attention to how the blooms open.  Breathtaking.

Welcome, Spring.
