If you are ever passing through Truckee, CA and you are in need of being transformed (via costume) into a river pirate for a photo assignment, I highly recommend you stop in to see Vivian at her vintage consignment shop. @uniqueboutique_vivianesvintage

In the Bay Area there are so many incredible, accessible and gorgeous places to hike, recharge, and escape the busy pace of urban life. It's one of the many reasons I LOVE living here. This image is one from a campaign we photographed in partnership with @postlandtrust -- POST is doing some amazing conservation work to create a network of protected lands throughout the SF Bay Area where people and nature can connect and thrive. The spot in this photo is less than 20 minutes from downtown San Jose.

It is really fabulous to have a full photo schedule again. Thank you science and evidence based public policy! Yesterday we had an incredible adventure collaborating with some very creative folks - a production crew, models, and a top notch video team. We hiked for miles through redwood forests and then along rolling hills of golden grass to make a photo story for @postlandtrust -- POST is doing some amazing conservation work to create a network of protected lands throughout the SF Bay Area where people and nature can connect and thrive. #onassignment #publiclands #conservation #RanchoSanVicente #california #nature #landtrust
