The Action

Hi! I’m Anne.

I have always seen the world through the lens of a culinary enthusiast, so it makes sense that I fell in love with capturing images of my passion in action from a young age. I am so grateful for the success I have found in the food world as a photographer and I hope you enjoy visiting my site as you spend a little time seeing the world through my eyes.

I am excited to share my perspective with you, not only through my photographs, but also my experience styling food, creating recipes, and ultimately where it all started for me – cooking.

Turns out my go-to fix for everything technological 🔌 also applies to mindset ✨ When my system starts to feel overloaded, I turn straight to breathwork, meditation, self-Reiki, yoga, and/or good ol’ working-with-my-hands-in-the-vineyard to reset. What’s your go-to way to unplug & recharge? Let’s all make sure we are doing plenty to care for ourselves right now… 🙏💛

Johnny Ramone, eat your heart out! 🤘😆🤘🎸
Few things in life are cooler than getting to watch your kid discovering what he loves & expressing himself through it. Shortly after his 8th birthday last October Russell said he wanted to start learning electric guitar, “because I want to ROCK, mom!” 🤘 Here we are 8 months later and I’m so excited to see him ROCKIN’ IT!!! ❤️🎸 Such a fun afternoon getting to watch him play with his band from @schoolofrocktemecula ⚡️ He definitely has the rock ‘n’ roll attitude, and that’s 99% of it, right? 😆

Happy Summer Solstice! ☀️ The first day of Summer calls for something extra-delicious, vibrant, fresh & nourishing for dinner - and I’m ALL about this incredible Turmeric-Garlic Sizzle Avocado Salad recipe by @kitchencurative that I made, styled & shot for my dear friends at @maxloveproject & @yescollectiveco 💛 See below for the recipe!

#Repost @maxloveproject:
“This Turmeric-Garlic Sizzle Avocado Salad is packed with flavorful nutrient density 🥗🥑. The heart-healthy fat from the avocado provides plenty of Vitamin E & when combined with the anti-inflammatory properties of the turmeric, garlic, chili peppers & fresh herbs it makes for a winning combination that both your body AND your tastebuds will love.
⠀
INGREDIENTS:⠀
✔️¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (I love @temeculaoliveoilcompany).⠀
✔️2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced⠀
✔️½ teaspoon ground turmeric⠀
✔️¼ teaspoon chili flakes⠀
✔️1 ripe avocado, sliced in half⠀
✔️2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped⠀
✔️2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped⠀
✔️2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped⠀
✔️½ teaspoon flakey sea salt
✔️Juice of 1 whole lemon 🍋 ⠀
⠀

DIRECTIONS:⠀
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic & turmeric, cook – stirring occasionally – until the garlic starts to sizzle & turns golden & toasty (approx. 4-5 mins). Take off heat, stir in chili flakes & season with salt. Then, using a spoon, scoop chunky slices of avocado out of the shell and arrange on a plate. Sprinkle the fresh herbs on top, season with salt, drizzle with lemon juice, and then pour the garlic & turmeric sizzle over the salad. For additional flavor, consider adding fresh grated ginger or other ground spices such as cumin or coriander to the mix. Sesame seeds can add a nice crunch, too, if you have some on-hand.”

My big sweet boy Henry (aka “Coney Derp” as Russell has nicknamed him this week!)❤️… last Thursday a mysterious giant hematoma appeared in his left ear (not pictured, as it’s not an image for the squeamish!). So a 2-hour surgery, 30 stitches, and one giant dog-collar-cone later and all this loyal gentle giant wants to do now is sit next to me & hold my hand. I tell ya, the unconditional pure love of animals is something I cherish so deeply - truly not sure who is taking care of whom in this relationship, but I’m sure grateful for my adorable pal. 🙏❤️ (and yes, he’s healing fast & you bet he’s receiving regular Reiki from me! 🥰🙌✨)

As a meditation teacher, I’m often asked, “What is mindfulness?” I find that this answer from James Baraz sums it up beautifully. It is about non-attachment and non-resistance — simply being, observing and experiencing each moment exactly as it is. Something magical truly does happen when you release your grip and start to flow with life and not fight it — there is a profound peace in that quiet, joyful, love-filled space. 🙏✨

Spending time with my family is always so restorative for me, ahhh 🙏💗 Got to have another crazy-fun visit up to my brother @taclinard & sis-in-law @hollyclinardxoxo’s house this week for a couple days of family time and my heart about melted when my adorable nieces ASKED me if I’d do morning yoga with them again today 🤗🙏❤️ So darn sweet, makes me so happy that they genuinely enjoy joining me. Some people do goat 🐐 yoga, but I get to do unicorn 🦄“Lovey” yoga 😆 (note where my 2-year-old niece balanced her “Lovey” 🦄 on my back before we started, haha) The BEST. 💗 So grateful for these sweet souls in my life. 🙏 #Namaste #familytime #asanapractice

Today was one of those extra-spectacular sunrises here at The Watson Ranch that was too beautiful not to share with all of you! ☀️✨ AND… the first of my 2022 grapes have started turning red! 😍 (winegrower trivia of the day: this ripening process is called veraison 🍇❤️) Have a gut feeling harvest is going to be a lot earlier than usual this year… Mother Nature is on a roll! 🙏💚🌎🍇 Here we gooooooo!….

Did you know? “When eaten with other fresh foods, avocados act as a nutrient booster by helping increase the body’s absorption of fat-soluble Vitamin A.” How cool is that!? I always learn so much from my friends at the Hass Avocado Board! 🥑💚 Check out this amazing Avocado & Watermelon Salad I had the pleasure of cooking & shooting for them - perfect for summertime! ☀️

Repost @loveonetoday:
“Celebrate your senses with this colorful salad made with creamy avocado slices and juicy red watermelon squares topped by tangy cheese crumbles, zesty peppers, and crunchy seeds. Each serving provides an excellent source of vitamin A! Recipe below.

Ingredients:
1 tsp. olive oil
Kosher salt (to taste)
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, shelled (*Anne’s note: I LOVE @go_raw sprouted pumpkin seeds!*)
1 ripe, fresh avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and sliced
2 cups watermelon, cut in 1/2-inch pieces
1 fresh lime, cut in half
1 serrano pepper or jalapeño pepper
3 oz. Feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions:
Heating the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add pumpkin seeds and lightly toast until just fragrant and starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt to taste.
Arrange watermelon and avocado on a serving plate. Squeeze the juice from one half of the lime on top of the watermelon and avocado.
Slice the jalapeño pepper into thin round slices, remove and discard any seeds or ribbing. Scatter the pepper slices and Feta cheese on top of the watermelon and avocado.
Squeeze the juice from the other half of the lime on top of the salad. Top with cilantro leaves.”

Today was an exciting day as my trusty vineyard assistant Russell & I picked up the first two pallets of our 2019 Watson Ranch Vineyards ‘Piston Broke’ Cabernet Sauvignon from @winemakergeek Euan Parker at @fallbrookwinery! It’s only a matter of days before we release this vintage for sale & I can’t wait to share it with all of you! 🎉🍇 We let this one age about 6 months longer than usual in the barrel to really allow the flavors to develop - the peppery undertones of this vintage are balanced with bright cherry & wild berry notes, with a hint of cinnamon, and I love it. It pairs beautifully with cheeses or a big, comforting bowl of pasta with tomato sauce.

Today would have been my husband Tim’s 59th birthday ❤️ I miss him so incredibly much, but I also am so grateful for the lessons that his cancer journey & passing taught both of us. There is truly something beautiful that lies beyond fear. That lies beyond anger. That lies beyond disease. There is an indescribable beauty that exists eternally beyond our bodies, and the bridge to that eternal energy is Love. ✨ Look deeply and you will find it has been there all along, just waiting for you to rediscover it. 🙏

The face of a grape farmer after a long, hot afternoon of pruning! 🤪😆 So darn excited with how both the Cabernet Sauvignon & Sangiovese are already coming in this year - wow! 🍇💜 Of the many hats I wear, I must admit that my job as our family vineyard’s winegrower has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. Best “office” ever - nature is good for the soul, that’s for sure. 2022 Watson Ranch Vineyards vintage, here we come!…
