Portrait Session with Louella -- the SF Milk Maid

  We met Louella a few weeks ago, when we went to cover one of her cheese making classes for the newspaper at the Ferry Building. After the class, she asked if we could come to her house and take some portraits for her. Ariel is a cheese fanatic -- so you can imagine how quickly she said "Yes please!" We went over to Louella's lovely cheese house this week and were totally blown away by the variety of moldy, stinky, creamy yumminess wafting from her house! Louella has been making cheese for many years and you can tell by the way she handles and talks about her cheese, how much she loves what she does. At the end of our visit, we realized we hadn't once asked her to "Say cheese!" How could we have passed that up :)

Lune de Miel ♥ Arles, France ♥ Premier Jour

we spent the next two days chilling in arles, a totally lovely city full of amazing food and cool street art by miss tic ;)

this cheese shop was wonderful and the owner was hilarious! he convinced us that eating cheese is soo good for our health! at the amount we were eating everyday ... we sure hoped it was good for us. 

this was the block of our homestay -- the prettiest in all of arles, we thought. and our room was great -- almost the whole top floor of an ancient building. it's an artist's homestay and people can rent out this room for weeks or months and the idea is that there's enough room in there to actually set up a working art studio.

thrifting!! i now own that awesome yellow bathing suit.

and to end our day ... dinner at le 16 ... totally scrumptious!!
