Weekend at the Half Moon Bay

October 31, 2008

So, I’m a little behind with blogging… I’m such a bad blogger. I’ve just been lazier that ever about posting lately.

Last weekend Markino and I went to spend an afternoon at the Halfmoon Bay. Gorgeous sunny day (I can’t believe I was wearing a summery dress at the end of October, this is my first fall/winter in Cali)… and I got a couple of shots.

And as we were a little hungry, got a bite here:

I love textures!!

How come I look so tired everytime lately???

I couldn’t resist this one, I love old cars!!!

You might recall a maternity session I did last month.
Well, I’m here to intoduce you to baby Matteo, born Oct. 1st!
This little guy decided he wasn’t going to sleep at all during the whole session… and we had little accidents from time to time but he’s a lovely boy :)

Quite dreamy, isn’t it?

So, I finally made through most of the emails I got during my trip and I’m now officially into editing all the zillion pictures I took.

Remember this cute little guy? Here are some more shots from the same day:

The french fry!

Back and Celebrating!

October 13, 2008

Well, I’m back in sunny California. Sitting at my desk with a terrible headache (I guess it’s the jetlag, which also makes me fall asleep at 7PM and be wide awake at 6AM), going through all the emails I haven’t had time to respond to while in Europe… AND downloading all the pictures I took during this month, which, of course, I cannot wait to share. Some will be displayed here and some on Photolicious.

A part from that… today is a very special day. It’s OUR 2nd WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already. Seems like yesterday… a gorgeous sunny day in Milan, which is so uncommon for a mid-October day in that area. Oh, by the way, it was Friday 13th. Many told us we were crazy, that it wasn’t a “good day”. Well, they were right, it wasn’t a good day, it was awesome!

Here are a couple of pictures…

Just married, outside the cityhall!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!!!

Our red Fiat 500 was a blast!

Just a little vanity!

Oh, my long red hair was gorgeous… and who’s that one on the back (I took that!)?

In Europe for 1 more night

October 10, 2008

I’m still in Milan but will be flying back to San Francisco tomorrow at noon. My trip here has gone amazing but I just can’t wait to get back home and finally start sharing some of the great stuff I’ve been shooting here during this part business part vacation-home trip.

Right now I’m hoping jetlag doesn’t kill me like it did when I came here 4 weeks ago. I love travelling, if I could just find an easy way out of having to deal with sleeping issues I would be around the world 24/7.

And again, like when we moved to California Jan/Feb 2008, I’ll so be missing the food. Sigh…
Uhm, and of course the shopping… I did some pretty amazing shopping down here. I’m addicted to shoes!

Well, gotta go and pack up my things, hoping I don’t forget anything here.
