NICHELLE & SHAY: ORANGE COUNTY ENGAGEMENT

Everyone has their own family tree.  And me?  I not only have my own family tree, but a client family tree as well.  My business is based almost exclusively on word of mouth referrals and I always love to see how everyone is connected to each other.  One of the largest branches of my client…

FEATURED: HOW HE ASKED

I was doing so good.  Blogging at least 2x/week, sometimes even 3.  Then life got busy.  Really busy.  I think the off season of wedding photography this year is officially over, but it’s a good thing.  And I’m happy.  And besides being busy, I’m also happy to announce that Melanie and Jeret’s engagement session is…

2012 OSCAR FASHION FAVS

Rainy days are my favorite, most especially on days when I work from home at my computer.  And although the rain always makes me want to curl up on the couch in my pj’s and read Twilight, there’s something about the sound of the rain that makes editing and catching up on email more enjoyable….

So, you’re all about color this year, eh?! ; )

I died when I saw Octavia’s dress. Even I could wear it. Her speech was amazing-best break-out actress ever. Now I have to see “The Help”. I can’t take my eyes off the red carpet. It is a Jordan family tradition. Remember our Oscar parties?

CASS & SCOTT: THOUSAND OAKS ENGAGEMENT

The internet can be a crazy place to meet people.  So when you start describing someone you’ve emailed back and forth a few times as someone you feel like you really connect with, it’s kind of an odd feeling.  How much can you really connect with someone in type?  Cass emailed me in regards to…

AAAAWWW! You two are *SO* stinkin’ cute- I love these! :)

CASS & SCOTT: ENGAGEMENT SNEAK PEEK

I think it’s probably official by now.  For all intensive purposes, J and I are cursed when it comes to Valentine’s Day.  With the exception of last year, every single year we’ve been together our plans have always been interrupted and some years, even tragedy struck.  We attempted to do our official dinner and a…

Ashley-you make all your couples look like movie stars. You are a genius. I love that colorful dress-it is so chic.

So beautiful, Ashley.

RACHEL & RAPLH: BIRTH STORY

I kept trying to figure out what kind of post I wanted to create for Valentine’s Day.  After all, it’s my second favorite holiday, so I knew I’d have to post something.  But after our Valentine’s dinner and movie plans went awry on Saturday evening (we attempted to avoid the crowds on the 14th), I…

As I sit here with my baby daughter I can’t help but be filled with emotion. You captured the moment perfectly Ashley. I cried through the whole thing. A picture truly does speak a thousand words! Good Job!

Rachel

A-maze-ing! Thank you soooo much for capturing these memories that I will cherish forever! During that experience it felt like I was floating over the room the whole time, so to be able to re-live it through your incredible photos, is a true blessing! Thank you again, you are a great friend, and I am so lucky to know you! Now let me go fix my face again, tears everywhere :)

MY FAVORITE THINGS: THG & LIP PRIMER

We’re getting new carpet installed in our bedroom today and let’s just say, it’s a process.  I’m not the one installing the carpet, but moving all the contents of our bedroom and walk-in closet into the living room & dining room area of our home was a task in itself.  Especially because I’m a huge…

SMALL CHANGES YIELD BIG RESULTS

I’m dying that it’s already February.  January is always my least favorite month of the year because it always seems to move so slowly and anticlimactically, but this year it just flew by!  I’m so ready for my 2nd favorite holiday of the year (Valentine’s Day, of course!) and I’ve already had my decor up…

FASHIONABLY LATE TO PINTEREST

I resisted it for a long time.  I told myself it would be a waste of my time and completely unnecessary.  Just like having a Facebook page.  And just like having a personal Facebook account.  But once again, I caved and created a Pinterest account once I realized how it could benefit me business wise….
