When Vicent told me he had a project meeting with the Naturadora and Takataka  in a country cottage in Benissa I told him I was going with baby Kalaii. They are some of our favorite people on both a personal and professional level. Vicent is so fortunate to be able to work on these fantastic projects with such inspiring people,  and I am so lucky they let me crash their business lunches and hang out.

When I was pregnant with Kalaii I got excited to make a mobile for his crib. I had no idea the room we spent so much time painting and thinking about during pregnancy would become an extension of the laundry room after baby's arrival. Since we ended up practicing co-sleeping, we pretty much just go in there to fold clothes. I thought it was about time to check out the crib and the mobile I made (inspired by origami cranes from Antonio and Patricia's wedding).

We had an amazing year in 2011. We launched Bikini Birdie, traveled all over Spain and the US shooting weddings and traveling... We got pregnant and spent half of the year tipping the scales. Vicent got a big job that took up most of the year and got to collaborate with the wonderful, talented ladies of La Naturadora.

Here are some of the twelve videos made from his illustrations used in a traveling exhibit made in a bus (YES! A BUS!.. see photos) to promote awareness about climate change! Check out more from this project on Vicent's web page.

Tuvimos un  2011 increíble. Ha visto la luz nuestro nuevo proyecto Birdie Bikini, con el que hemos viajado por España y EE.UU. Megan se quedó embarazada y vimos como  su barriga aumentaba de tamaño día a día. Yo (Vicent) estuve trabajando en un nuevo proyecto en colaboración con las encantadoras amigas de La Naturadora.

Éstas son algunas de las animaciones que realizaron los amigos de El Takataka, a partir de mis ilustraciones para este proyecto. Una exposición itinerante sobre medio ambiente en un autobús (¡Sí! Un autobús! .. mira las fotos) para promover la conciencia sobre el cambio climático!

Morocco is so visually inspiring. The people, the architecture, the light! I have had these photos laying around in the digital wasteland somewhere from a quick trip this summer. More photos from Morocco here, here, and an essay from Fez here. We are missing our friend's traditional Moroccan wedding next weekend in his hometown due to me being very, very pregnant. These photos will have to do.... for now.

Totally blessed by a visit from family. We love you Georgie. Stay sweet.

We went to Granada to photograph a very pretty wedding (soon to be featured on the blog!) and just fell in love. We took an extra day to be tourists in this lovely city.

Slipped away to Morocco with Georgie and Ali Babba for a non-wedding weekend this month.. such an inspiring place.

Two very special little boys.
