Simple pleasures, really are the BEST things in life.  That old saying, “the best things in life are free”….I’m pretty sure it’s true.  Today I am extra thankful, I have SO much goodness in my life, on that note, I’m going to share some of my favorite, simple pleasures.

My sweet husband

The BEST pup!

occassionally he comes to shoots!  and he’s definetely a popular fixture at the studio….

My nieces and nephew, and family in general

Homemade pesto with TJ’s Savory Thin crackers.  mmmmmm {just had this for lunch!}

A fresh vaccummed rug! {it brings a smile to my face instantly}

Sundays on the boat with my boyz…{Dan and Gunny}

Happy clients! and happy clients with pretty flowers….

Pretty plants and flowers in my yard, and the deer that visit them….especially when they don’t eat them!

Good friends

Rearview mirror photos {these are a little dangerous}

The green hills of the central coast, with amazing filtered light!!!

A good glass of wine, at the end of the day, on the porch, with Dan

oh yea…

and playing my piano – my new-found-old-love – I played for nearly 13 years and for some reason took a really long sabatical – but am at it again – it brings me SO much joy!

and a fresh painted living room – been slaving away at this place for a few months now…

a nap in the afternoon with a snoring dog next to me…
