vineyard camping {photographs}

we had the best time last night camping in the vineyard with our dear friends...well they camped, i drove my very pregnant self back up to the house after shamelessly stuffing myself with far too many s'mores...  it's an idyllic evening to spend a gorgeous summer night overlooking a stunning vineyard, cooking + laughing with friends while watching our children play, giggle + run through the vineyards...not to mention the full moon that made the night that much more spectacular.

napa valley {photographs}

i've been feeling a little out of sorts since my doctor gave me the red light for any further shooting in the vineyards for the remainder of my pregnancy, so last night i was more than thrilled to tag along with my husband to check on one of his properties + snap a few shots from the car.
