The Cove

Last night I got home from a stellar wedding at Hyatt Huntington Beach (congrats Jessica & Doug!) and as usual I was wound up hours after settling in.  Happens to me all the time after big, busy wedding days where I’m running on adrenaline and need to go from 6th gear back down to 2nd. [...]

Don’t forget to BackUp

What a completely crazy day.  All my plans of editing Asia and Byron’s wedding, getting a lot of busy-work done and feeling accomplished this evening when I go to lay my head on my pillow went right out the window!  Here’s why…
So I dropped off my laptop (aka my right hand, best friend, the muscle [...]

Sara and Steve-The Montage Sesh

Ok, how cute are they?  When they initially sat down with me one of the first things out of my mouth was “you guys are going to be so easy to photograph”  I was spot on!  Like fish in a barrel!!!  We had so much fun last night.  I am sure a big part of [...]

The Big Three Seven

How many times do I divulge that I’m off to Big Bear, or back to reality and work…geesh!  I feel like a broken record sometimes.  This past weekend was an extra special mountain run because my birthday was on Sunday.  I’ve had many previous years with big parties, big plans, trips or even bdays where [...]

A Shout Out To My Brother

It all started senior year of high school.  I was in a reading class with my wild bff Jessie sitting next to me and a dude named Chris Schulz perched behind me.  He would eavesdrop on our conversations as we would dish about last weekend’s debauchery, ditching school, future schemes of adventures, boys… all that [...]

Free Tiiiiiiime…….

I am a big believer in sometimes doing nothing at all is just as productive as being busy.  It’s in the relaxing and regrouping phase where I can become inspired all over again, let my creativity permeate a little instead of always expending it.  I’ve been in Big Bear since last Tuesday.  Taking an entire [...]

The Treats of Spring

Just made an executive decision yesterday morning… as I bike, hike and am all over “the great outdoors” I can’t help but notice how exceptional this spring is… which has inspired… ANY FAMILY SESSION FOR $200.  You heard me right!  Any location (within 20 miles of Laguna) and an entire family shoot with singles of [...]

Joshua Tree camping trip images

So while everyone 40 and under was driving out to the Cochella music fest this past weekend (painted signs on windows going down the 1o freeway) Andres and I were about to give nature a big warm hug.  I went into this thinking I was going to do a similar trip as Anza-Borrego with wildflowers [...]

A little misc update…

Is it just me or is this year absolutely flying by?  Wow.  I can’t believe it’s already mid-April of ‘10.  I guess it doesn’t help that there’s a major earthquake somewhere in the world every 3-4 weeks… or that it’s smeared all over the media that Jesse James has replaced Tiger Woods for the nation’s [...]

Doggy Debacle

If you don’t already know this about me I am a major night owl (hoot hoot)  I try to be more of a morning person in the winter months so I can get fresh tracks on the mountain, but all summer long I am either working late at a wedding or you can find me [...]
