i thought i would give you a break from all of my wordy posts and share some photos i have been hoarding since august. if you are ever in northern california in the summer, you should definitely pay the boardwalk a visit.
i love this place.
ps. in case you were wondering, my little sister makes the silly faces on purpose. such a stinker.





















The picture of my hot honey eating a cupcake almost made me cry. I sure miss that guy!! Wish we had been there.
We must be destined to be friends!!! I grew up in Santa Cruz and spent many a days at this boardwalk and beach:) Love, love, love the Big Dipper!! I just got back from Santa Cruz visiting my family and sad to say we only drove by the boardwalk. We did enjoy lunch on the wharf and of course, nothing better than spending time with family.
Oh Jana, I love the ones of my kids! Thanks for posting these :)
Love Santa Cruz. Love the Boardwalk.
LOVE the pictures of the cages going across above you. Beautiful. Love the color. The one of the beach – and the lifeguard house is awesome too. You’ve got a gift my friend.
Plain and simple! I like your work!
Your photography is beautiful! I’m loving the ski lift (?..not sure what it’d be called here) photos!
Amazing pictures. Love the light!
hi there,
i recently came across your boardwalk pics on pinterest and I absolutely love the first one on this post of what looks like a colorful ski lift. are you by any chance selling these anywhere?!
email me if you are!
Thanks,
Sarah
Boardwalk is such an amazing place. You will surely have fun in this place. Don’t hesitate to bring your kids and love ones here. There’s no doubt that they would love it here…
These photos are gorgeous! Also…the boardwalk gondola ones have just the look I am going for in my daughter’s bedroom. Would you mind if I printed one to hang in her room?
Thanks so much!

Nice photos. Love the color. The one of the beach – and the lifeguard house is awesome too.
@viki powell: I do agree with you that nothing better than spending time with your family. Family is the greatest gift that I have because they are the one who loves me first and knows who really I am.
Well, we are planning to have a vacation next month on Santa Cruz because my uncle lives there. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience.
Nice photos. I like the capture of each photos. It’s a very memorable photos. Thanks for sharing.

How I wish to go there together with my friends and family…

I love (love, love) the image of the sky rider with the blue sky transitioning down to peach! Brings me back to my childhood. What is the price for a copy…and the sizes available.

Hi!
I am in LOVE with your pictures of the “sky ride”, “Neptunes Kingdom” and “Giant Dipper”, they’re very beautiful! If they’re your own, and you wouldn’t mind, could you email them to me? I’d love to blow them up and put them in family room, the colours are amazing!
Hope to hear from you!
Kind regards,

your pics are great! I was searching for images of Santa Cruz to remind of the beautiful city that I used to live in. Thank you for sharing these amazing pics!
Hi,
Curious minds want to know – are we able to get a full resolution copy of your first pic of the sky tram? Or are you selling prints? I love Santa Cruz and think it’s a great photo.
Hi there! I’d love to know if you ever sell prints of your photos. I’d love to have one for a friend’s birthday next month. She grew up in San Francisco and has fond summer memories of the Santa Cruz boardwalk.

I third the motion to please sell your prints. I would love that first one of the sky tram!
Looks like I am asking the same question as everyone above but I do absolutely love your photos and would love to buy a print of http://janalaurene.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/santa_cruz3.jpg if you’re selling them.
regards,

Another in line asking if you are by chance selling your prints. I spent many summers in Santa Cruz and your photo of the sky gondolas gave me a viseral reaction when I saw them on Pinterest! I understand if you aren’t, but would love to hear from you!

Hi,
Just following up to my earlier comment – any thought on selling your prints in this blog?? The colours and composition are very beautiful.
