Today we had a li’l celebration for Graham’s birthday at the park in Nevada City. It was one of the first days around here that really felt like spring. I am exhausted from the weekend and am going to keep these photos in the alphabetical order in which they are already stored in my files…

It was a lovely afternoon gathering, and a wonderful way to welcome back the sunshine and wish a Happy Birthday to my sweet lovin’ man (Graham that is, not Zeraphin- his birthday party is next weekend!).

Here are the rest of the items we photographed last weekend. They will all be listed in the coming week!

Last weekend Jasbir and I had the most wonderful, sunshiney time taking photos around the farm where she lives. I am working on a post that tells the story a bit more, but for now here are some of the images we captured. Many of these items are already in the shop and the rest are on their way! (And this isn’t even all of it!).

A couple weekends ago my friend Lily texted to see if she could stop by and drop off some dresses she had just thrifted for Mycelia. She was out on a stroller saunter with her darling baby Cecilia (Mycie always goes “If we have a baby can we name it Cecilia?” to which I reply, of course, that that might get a little confusing). She had scored three of the most adorable vintage prairie-esque children’s dresses imaginable, and Mycie and I were thrilled! (And will pass them back to Lily and Cecilia once Mycie outgrows them). I decided to take some photos of her in front of this sweet little folk art print that I had just gotten at a yard sale that same day.

The girl has been to one too many Violet Folklore photo shoots…

and has really perfected- and personalized- the art of the pose.

I also got this awesome vintage Easter Egg at the yard sale. It looks so familiar, I must’ve had one as a child.

I could not love this little scene any more. What is the little chickie saying that has the parents so concerned? And where can I get one of those buggies?

Our phototastic morning led us outside into some of the very small amount of sunshine we Northern Californians have seen so far this spring.  Continue Reading... (681 words + 21 images, estimated 2:43 mins reading time)
