• Street Life // Montmartre, Paris {Photo Challenge}

  

  Street life photography isn’t much of my strength, so I had to go into the archives for the challenge this week. I will say I loved getting this vintage retro vibe in Montmartre, in the north hills of Paris, last year on a fantastic trip with friends! I blogged a different capture of this vintage car rolling down the…

• Practicing Shutter Speed

  

  This month’s lesson in Practice at Capture Your 365 is focusing on Shutter Speed. I knew I wanted to do a long exposure shot on the bridge at Balboa Park overlooking the 163, and it was perfect that it fit in with the daily prompt: Curve at CY365 that same day as well! Maybe next time…

• Believe in Miracles Gelatos Card {Feeling Crafty}

  

  Sometimes I just want to go to my crafting space and just create! That’s exactly what happened this week when I made this card. My hubby recently found out his oldest sister has been diagnosed with breast cancer, so I wanted to make her a card to let her know we’re thinking of her. I…

  The Daily Post weekly photo challenge: Reflections inspired me to post twice on the topic this week! While I was perusing my photo library looking for the Balboa Park photos I submitted here, I couldn’t help but be faced with the obvious fact that my baby girls are growing up Way.Too.Fast. It’s so convenient having…

• Reflection // Balboa Park {Photo Challenge}

  

  An absolute San Diego gem, I truly love photographing everything and anything at Balboa Park! Besides the plethora of fantastic museums, enjoying the gardens and architecture can fill an entire day. Anytime I can escape my daily obligations and carve out time to enjoy the sights at Balboa Park is a blessed day – I’ve…

• Inside // Lounge {Photo Challenge}

  

  On a recent girls night out, celebrating one of my besties, I couldn’t help but grab these shots inside a couple lounge bars we stopped into for a drink (or two)! Before I headed out, I read the Capture Your 365 prompt for the day “Notice” and I definitely noticed the great details at 7 Grand.…
