Disneyland!

I have been married to my wonderful husband Chad for two years now, and to celebrate I decided to surprise him and take him to Disneyland. He has never experienced the magic of Disney, so I figured that streak had lasted long enough. Sooo, yesterday morning I loaded him in the car and we made the short trip to Anaheim.

We had an amazing day riding the rides in both parks and walking through downtown Disney. It is truly impossible to be there and not have a smile on your face.

Chad bought me a cool new point and shoot, so here are some photos I grabbed in the middle of all of our fun! Note: You may see a reacuring theme of the sky in these photos, but that is just because the textures and the color yesterday were too beautiful and inspiring.

Renee is Graduating...Tomorrow!

Renee and I set out for a quick spontaneous shoot today in honor of her graduation...she is a smart one...tomorrow she says goodbye to her bachelor's degree status hello to the much more distinctive master's degree! Renee is very gifted in sales and amongst many thing is also a fantastic writer...oh yeah, and she is pretty darn photogenic too!

Although we went against that lesson we all learn in school to not procrastinate, we managed to get some good ones in time we had!

Stephanie & Luke - Preview

Just realized I haven't posted in a while. Here's an image from last week. Stephanie and Luke were amazing to work with! More to come...soon and very soon.

China Town

I Was going through some images from our SF trip and found this. We were running and had to scoot quickly through this area of the city, but it was a crazy spot...keep in mind this was probably the least crowded corner in sight...I just happened to be sitting on the right side of the super bad to the bone go-car thing we were driving!

Trekin' With The Gals

Made the short trip up to our big brother LA a couple weekends ago for my wonderful friend Jen's birthday bash! On Saturday afternoon I set out on a hike with some of my closest gals, Jen, Julie and Adrian.

We had a ton of fun hiking in the canyons far above the city and spending some quality time together talking, sweating, talking, making the buns burn, and did I mention talking?? For some reason when we all get together that seems to be something we all do best...ahhh....thats what friends are for...keep smiling, keep shining...ok enough...cut to reality. Here are some photos from the big bad hike into the woods.





Notice a trend in the next set of photos?







Jen LOVES to talk with her hands, and I think that is fabulous! Thanks for the great day girls!

Cassie & Alex

Love them!

Brian & Lauren

When I was in Nashville last month I got together with Brian and Lauren for a quick photo engagement session. This time was extra special because these two are very good friends of mine. They will be getting married in August in the historic Savannah, Georgia which I am so excited about!

I couldn't be happier that these two have found each other and to be a part of their lives. They truly special to me.

We unfortunately didn't have a ton of time for the snaps because Brian had a crazy busy weekend when we were there, but we were still able to squeeze out some good ones. Makes it easy on me when I have such great subjects! Love you guys and can't wait for the big southern style shindig!

Soriano Being Soriano

Ok, so for those of you baseball fans, its not quite like Manny being Manny. We attended two Cubs games at Spring Training a couple weeks back though, and I found that Alfonso Soriano has quite the ham personality of his own. Here is one good example. As he was running in from the outfield he spotted my camera decided to make my picture worth taking. Thanks Soriano!
