Monday: Finding Focus

Bowerbird Photography March 17, 2014

One of the best parts of working from home means we get to eat home cooked meals almost every day. Last week, I put together this simple lunch and Sam felt like all the colors complemented each other nicely -- almost like a color inspiration board for a wedding ;) So he had to take a photo, and we thought we'd share it all with you. Leave us a comment with one of your favorite food color combos!

Our last few days in Turkey took us to the Mediterranean Sea, for some sunshine and swimming. Ariel's number one travel rule: never leave home without your bathing suit. You never know when you might need it!

Tomorrow we fly home to San Francisco. This adventure has been gorgeous - and we look forward to wedding season back in the states :)

Day one hiking in the land of the fairies, with our new-found-friend and sweet guide dog, on Sam's 33rd bday :)

We stayed in a gorgeous, ancient, hotel and our host not only made his own olives and jam (which were served for breakfast every morning), he also made wine. We got a bottle to celebrate Sam's bday -- and it was one of the best bottles of wine we've ever had! A perfect way to toast to Sam.

Soon we return to San Francisco to begin our wedding photography season, and we couldn't feel more rested and inspired from our photo trip to the Middle East.

The whole time, thinking of my mom singing show tunes: ♫ ♫ Istanbul, Constantinople ♫ ♫
