Happy Mother’s Day to all the mama’s in my life 🤍 Wether it’s a baby having a really tough time during a newborn session, a nervous bride right before she walks down the aisle, or a little guy who just doesn’t want his picture taken today. Mamas are always there to get you through it. I am so lucky to have so many strong women in my life (especially my mama) to teach me how to make it in this crazy world🤍🌸🌺
Harvest Mendocino festivities kick off tomorrow with music by yours truly at the Beachcomber Motel from 4pm-6pm! There will be ocean views, and Johnny, and wine, and Johnny! See you there :) 🌊🍂🍁🍷#beachcomber #beachcombermotel #fortbraggphotos #fortbraggca #mendocino #harvestmendo #harvestmendocino...
That golden hour lighting though 👌🏼 (For the record, we had to give Enzo half a canister of treats to get him to sit still for an hour while we watched the sunset. #spoiledpuppy)...
There are many beautiful beaches in California it’s true. And when you time it right, every single one will give you some pretty amazing views 😍. . . This beach is by far my favorite one we have near us! If you time it right, sunset is simply fantastic. The light hit the bridge just right and the beams shine through it. Just past this bridge is a wide open space of smooth deep sandy beach and a stunning view of the ocean 🌊. . . I’ve been bringing Maple here to this spot since she was itty bitty and I cannot wait for one of my favorite seasons that will be coming up so that we can get the next one! #fortbraggphotos #fortbraggbeaches #wccorgis...
THE PATRIOTISM! 🎆🦅🇺🇸 I had a great time watching, photographing, and filming the fireworks this year. It was very dark so the photos have some grain to them that I decided to not remove. My favorite part was definitely the lowering of the flag from the fire truck without letting it touch the ground.
FUEGOS ARTIFICIALES POR EL MAR 2024
EL PATRIOTISMO! 🎆🦅🇺🇸 Tuve un gran tiempo viendo, fotografiando y grabando los fuegos artificiales este año. Estaba muy oscuro por eso las fotos tienen un poco de grano que decidí no quitar. Mi parte favorita fue la bajada de la bandera de la troca de bomberos sin tocar el suelo.
Can you believe that this "nest" is actually a mushroom!? Well, it sure is! Let’s learn something: 👏
This species is aptly named "Bird`s Nest Fungus" and it`s quite a fascinating mushroom. Each of those "eggs" (scientifically known as "peridioles") is actually a capsule full of spores. When it rains, droplets splash into the "nest" and disturb the peridioles, ideally splashing them into the air. The peridioles of many species of bird nest fungi have a string attached to the end of them. When a peridiole is flung airborne, the string trails behind it and then sticks or coils itself around anything nearby that it comes in contact with. In this way, the spores have a more auspicious chance of being dispersed. ✨💨
This mushroom doesn`t look terribly small, does it? Well, it`s actually quite little - on average a "nest" is typically measured at approximately 5-7mm in diameter! When I first spotted this fungus several years ago, I was shocked. Based on photos I`d seen, I had assumed they were much larger! 🍄📏
Dinner at my favorite place with a favorite person. Caught up on the week, watched the wildlife, and pondered why the Coasties were backed into the tight spot between the docks…. #fortbraggca #fortbraggphotos #noyoharbor #coastalliving #coastguard...
I do not know how I have not shared this photo yet! It’s got to be one of my favorites, it’s from our trip we took a couple months back. We stayed at our favorite dog friendly motel thebeachcombermotel which right out side of the motel room, past the inviting deck with the fire pits is this beach, our favorite beach. It doesn’t matter the time of year, it’s never disappointing and I’m so glad we got to go. The sunrise is always so breathtaking at the beach. . . Where is a favorite location for you to watch the sunrise?...

First Senior Portrait session I’ve done. It was a pretty good experience which I learned a lot from. And as always, it’s an honor to be able to capture these memories for my classmates.

✨You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them...In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night...You - only you - will have stars that can laugh.✨
I don’t want to go home. Going home means 110°+ heat, a toxic job, and more isolation, and while I am all for some isolation, my days in the office at my toxic job were really helpful to my mental health.
Here’s to those Sunday mornings with views. Im currently workin but I can pretend 🍻. . . . #sundayvibes #gonnabeagoodday #picturesofpictures #northcoast #visitfortbraggca #fortbraggphotos...

Morning walk to Glass Beach with Leah & Benjamin. As cold as this water is, Leah still enjoyed getting her paws wet for a little bit. The views from Glass Beach are amazing. Thanks Darnell for sharing with us some of the history about this place! You were so right, there’s barely any glass left on the beach. This place is proof of how we are as a society…so entitled. #californialiving #californiaadventure #mendocinocoast #fortbraggca #fortbraggphotos #glassbeach #views #familyvacation #dogfriendlybeaches #dogsarefamily #rescuedogsofinstagram...

You really feel the fleetingness of time and ephemerality of beauty, as you watch the rising sun slowly but unstoppably illuminate our coast, from the tip of sea stacks to the crashing waves.
