For christmas, I got Arturo and I passes to the Discovery Kids museum, and we had the opportunity to take Kiana there earlier this week. First off, wow! That place is absolutely amazing. Kiana LOVED running around and checking everything out. We let her take the lead...

My sisters and brothers in law all came to Santa Rosa to celebrate Christmas this year, and we had a great time hosting our traditional Childs christmas. We’ve been hosting family friends Chuck and Syd for a tamale dinner on Christmas ever for the past few...

I’m back from a week in Oregon with my sister Elizabeth, her husband Jim, and my brand new baby nephew Ethan! I’m excited to be an aunt, and completely in awe of just how exhausting it is to have a baby. Elizabeth is an absolute trooper, despite the lack...

It’s wedding central in my friends group, and I have 3 weddings on the books for next year. One of them is for my good friend Joey and his fiancee Rosy. I first met Joey in high school, and volunteered with him doing food not bombs for almost 6 years. He’s...

When Elly called me to tell me about her engagement, I knew I wanted to take portraits of them together. Elly and I have been through thick and thin together. We first met in elementary school and have been best friends for what seems like forever. After college, we...

I was delighted to be asked to bring my camera along to my good friends Allie and Ryan’s wedding. I remember when I first met Ryan, I knew he was such a great match for Allie’s easygoing the more the merrier attitude. They’re super fun, and threw the...

I took a whirlwind trip to Vermont earlier this month, it wasn’t nearly enough time to spend with my Nana! But is was a great time nonetheless. My whole family came together for a belated celebration of my Nana’s 90th birthday. It was so great to spend...

Arturo and I had a great time taking Kiana to Doyle Park earlier today. Their playground is really cute, and the park was surprisingly empty for such a nice day. [AFG_gallery id=’1′]

I’m going to start my 365 project again after failing in 2010. I’m determined to make it this year, if only because I am so glad to have taken some of the photos that I did last year. So, day 1: July 14, 2011. I got off work early, grabbed Arturo and...

I photographed some of the youth working at the Prince Memorial Greenway this morning. This one’s kind of an outtake. Not super useful for work, but I liked the shadows so I kept it.

This is photo 3/100 of my 100 friends project. Desiree has been one of my best friends for nearly the last decade. We met up this afternoon at Flying Goat, which is pretty much my default meeting spot. There was a small pause in the rain this afternoon, so I went out...

I assisted Rigel with his 365 today. I poured several gallons of water on his head for his self portrait and it was so fun to drench him that I asked if we could do it just one more time with my camera. I look a little maniacal but that was kind of the theme of the...

I have had SO much fun this week with my 365 challenge. I started off the week at the California Academy of Sciences, taking a photo of my very first stranger for the 100 Strangers challenge (something I will be keeping up with all year), and wrapped it up with good...

I’m celebrating the turn of the new year with a photo project. I will be taking (at least) one photo a day, every day for the next year. I’m planning on doing a weekly round-up here on caitlinchilds.com, but I’m kicking the challenge off with my...

Mike and I went to the Winchester Mystery House yesterday (henceforth called the Winchester House because calling it mysterious is stupid) and had a great time sneaking what photos we could! We tried not to go in with too many expectations, and since neither of us...

Way back in October, Rigel, Spencer and I took Akasha to a Pumpkin Patch to pick out our Halloween pumpkins. Being a whole year older than our last visit, Akasha was much more involved in the choosing of pumpkins.

It’s been a little over a month and a half since my coworker Jason came into work and shot himself. I’m still really mad at him, and I still have random flashbacks to those intense moments. I know I will never forget that day, and I don’t know if I...

As anyone who took AP US History from Mr. Cortopassi can attest: Alexander Hamilton was a snake and the Federalists can be blamed for almost everything. Mr. Cortopassi is my favorite teacher of all time, and it is in his honor that I am posting this epic video of...

This weekend, the Phoenix Theater hosted one of the most well organized, super fun shows featuring a slew of bands from the heyday of Sonoma County punk bands. Since I am so much younger than my friends, there was an element of feeling like I was at someone...

On our way to Placerville to check out the Gold Bug Mine, Mike and I drove through Sonoma and had to stop when we saw the town square filled with gorgeous classic Cobras (many of them original Shelby’s). The cars were all gorgeous and in beautiful shape. Mike...
