Mike and I went whale watching last year and we really enjoyed it! So when I saw a Groupon for a whale watching cruise in Newport Beach, I jumped on it! We went on an overcast, drizzly day and it ended up being one of the best experiences ever! Right as we left the marina, […]
Read more "Whale Watching – Newport Beach"This post can be summed up in two words: BABY. BURRO. Let me set the scene for you. Mike and I are in a beautiful national park surrounded by snowcapped mountains, salt flats, and canyons. We drive up to a ghost town, Rhyolite, which is just outside the park border in Nevada. We were told […]
Read more "Death Valley Part Two"Mike and I were super excited for our first photo adventure trip! Death Valley is a place we’ve been wanting to go since we moved here and we figured this would be the way to see it! We had such a wonderful time taking pictures and seeing Death Valley’s beauty! The funny thing was all […]
Read more "Death Valley Part One"Have I mentioned before how much I looooooooove long exposure photography? The second half of this collection of pictures is why. I will never get bored with night photography OR long exposure photography! This shoot and the Griffith Observatory are my favorites. This was Mike’s first time on this one, because last year my mom, […]
Read more "Night Hawks: Downtown LA"When we were originally planning our trip to San Francisco, I thought we’d spend a day and pop over to the Redwood National Park for a visit. However, I forgot how GIGANTIC the state of California is, and the Redwood National Park is like a FIVE HOUR DRIVE from San Francisco! That will have to […]
Read more "San Francisco Day Three: Muir Woods"I love night pictures. I love them. When we went to San Francisco, we knew we’d have to take some night pictures! One thing that we didn’t exactly plan for was the fog…it was so misty/foggy the night we took pictures, so a lot didn’t really turn out well. The light bounces off the fog […]
Read more "San Francisco: After Dark"Mike and I were definitely excited to see this California icon! After Alcatraz and Pier 39 and right before our SF night pictures, we had some time to see and walk part of the way across the Golden Gate Bridge! Along with pretty much everything else on our trip, it did not disappoint. It’s massive […]
Read more "San Francisco Day Two: Golden Gate Bridge"We had been told from several people that we needed to go to Pier 39. It’s full of stores and restaurants, but the reason we went was for the sea lions!! There are a lot of floating platforms next to the pier and the sea lions come and hang out on them. They sun and […]
Read more "San Francisco Day Two: Pier 39"Perhaps a little known fact about me: I am obsessed with the movie The Rock. When it came out, my brother and I watched it whenever it was on television, and I’m pretty sure at some point we got it on VHS and watched it over and over again. Ever since I saw The Rock, […]
Read more "San Francisco Day Two: Alcatraz"Mike and I took a much needed escape to San Francisco over labor day weekend and it was amazing! Neither of us had ever been there, so we did the whole tourist thing and saw as much as we could in the three days we were there! We dedicated the first day to the city […]
