Bubbles Indoor Playground, Salon & Boutique is a great place for kids. Natty is attending a new ballet studio in Santa Monica and it’s amazing. Seriously. For so many reasons.

…in the making. claudia wowed us with more cupcake greatness yesterday when she made cherry vanilla-bean cupcakes for a friend’s birthday. these are my favorite to-date.

all i can say about these images, other than how much i love this family, is that i’m lucky. lucky to do have the opportunity to photograph real life happening and know that these pictures are going to mean something to the people in them. i know that there’s a place for “posed” images but the more i can photograph real people doing real things the more real i feel about what i’m offering to the world. everyone wants to give happiness, this is how i do it.

Yep! Agree 100%... Each time Misty photographs your family (Jordan & Claire), I think, "Okay... those were amazing." ... - Jordan
WOW...That is really all that I can say. Misty, you have taken a lot of pictures of the three of ... - claire

…a little cruise along a little pacific coastline to soften the blow of this rather monday-ish monday. there’s not much that some sand-between-the-toes therapy can’t at least band-aid up.
those toes all belong to my brood. all of ‘em.


as we occupied our morning with sandcastle building, this cheater brought out the big guns to show us up. actually, it worked out fabulously, he was really just getting some sand to build up the lifeguard station (you may have noticed it had a bit of a lean) and left us with a huge pile of sand and cool tracks. i can’t quite express the fun that this presented us with.
i looove being under a pier, there’s a sort of romance to it.
there’s a bit of contradiction going on here. which would you prefer? the ferrari is rad but i’d love the vw.
american apparel along the ocean, it’s just classic. plus, i’m a card-carrying american apparel t-shirt junkie.

i’ve got to find out what kind of tree this is. it’s probably the loveliest tree i’ve encountered.
i wanna live here. i’m wondering how many millions i’ll need?

this just seems like a parting shot. such a serene little guy, perched on his throne.






Yes!
GeeWhiz! I hope they are using your pictures for their website and marketing! Great place, but even better ...
