Quotidian Photography by Jessica: 01/31/13

I'm so glad you found me! I'm a San Francisco photographer, and this blog charts my journey in the ever-evolving world of photography. One of the things I love about photography is that it's a journey, not a destination. I'm constantly learning and meeting wonderful people. Please peruse the blog to your heart's content, then check out my website and feel free to contact me! (I love hearing from you.)

Winter White

Every winter eager magazine writers give us this sage advice: winter is an excellent time to wear white. Usually, a whole outfit of unrelieved white. They accompany this with photos of impossibly beautiful girls jumping and running around in outfits of white in various indoor locations.

Now, I'm all for fun photo shoots and I don't think that photography needs to 100% represent reality - really! - but I think there might be reason why they don't do those photo shoots outside.

White clothes are really hard to keep clean!

Which is why I prefer my winter white in snow form. And over our Christmas holidays (yeah, I know I'm a little late blogging it!) we had all the winter white we ever wanted and more. Here are some photos of our Christmas break in Truckee, which was made even nicer by all the copious, fluffy white snow.
