We are happy to be in this month’s issue of Style At Home magazine. It was such a fun shoot with talented photographer Janis Nicolay along with Style At Home editor, Erin McLaughlin who briefly stopped by. It was such a casual shoot. There wasn’t much styling done and not a lot of equipment except for Janis’ camera, tripod, laptop & her assistant holding up a light diffuser. Luna was so cute happily playing around the house and sort of posing for the camera at the same time. She liked all the attention.

I have to say, it’s definitely fun for our home to be featured in a magazine. It’s like having someone come in to document our life at home to share our story. It’s a nice memento of our life at this time. I thank Style At Home for doing a fabulous job on putting our story together.

For those inclined, you can also see our home featured back in 2011 in Anthology magazine – A San Francisco based home decor, travel, design & culture magazine.

Thought I would share some behind the scenes photos from the Anthology Magazine photoshoot day. The shoot took all day with a late but extended lunch break with Brian Stevens being the chef of the house & took over the kitchen creating a pretty special salad. The day ended with some photos at the beach by our house but those photos didn’t make the cut. All in all, it was a pretty fantastic day.

We are so happy to be part of Anthology Magazine’s issue No. 3. It’s a fabulous spring issue and the theme is “Life is a Party!”

Early last year, co-founder & creative director of Anthology magazine, Meg Ilasco, asked us if we wanted to be in the issue. Well, that was a no brainer – the answer was Y-E-S! So in October last year, super talented SF/NYC based photographer Thayer Gowdy along with assistant photographer Brian Stevens flew in to shoot our home. Part of the team was also local stylist Heather Cameron and it was a full day of fun, fun, fun! Before the shoot, I didn’t really know what to expect. We were told to wear something colourful & spring like. And, maybe a little vacuuming here and there but to leave the space as is because they wanted to capture how we live and not have the space overly styled. Well, that was easy. All we needed to do was to be there & look decent.

The whole day was so casual and we were just there – living. We told stories, laughed, ate a huge lunch & just hung out. I barely noticed them working. There were also no gigantic photography lights or anything. Just Gowdy’s camera, a huge tripod and a laptop – that was it.

It was nice to have met them all as they are all so talented. I liked hearing Thayer’s stories as a professional traveling photographer. Wow, this woman has been to places! Made me envy her life a bit as she told us stories of where she’s been and people she’s met. Such an amazing woman. Heather Cameron and I have stayed in touch and I recently just finished designing her delicious Missing Goat jams & syrups. I’m so excited to see my labels on her jars soon. Yay!
