Hanami with my baby

I try to celebrate the Japanese tradition of Hanami every year. When the cherry blossoms begin to bloom, I head to the park to photograph them like I've never seen them before. My photo album is full of identical photos of cherry blossoms, and it is impossible to distinguish one year from the next. However, this past year we had a defining photo shoot with out 2-month-old baby. 

It was a glorious day at the University of Washington, where practically all of Seattle was there trying to get a good picture.

On my last day in LA I re-wore a checkered dress from the first day, but layered it over my Kenneth Cole blouse for a contrasting look. On this day we explored downtown and its many art galleries, ending the night with dinner at Perch.

It's become my ritual to go to LA now every winter, and each trip I leave only getting through half the things on my to-do list. This December I spent a week there and still didn't see everything I wanted to see. It have so enjoy rediscovering this city of my youth...especially K-town.
