The day before leaving for our trip I wrote a post where I mentioned a photo shoot that I was supposed to do that evening….the photo shoot happened, the meltdown that I mentioned in the post also happened while packing late at night, but the point is both things got done. Photo shoot and packing....

Early Morning
I completely forgot about the other half of photos I took in Solvang…so here a few more from my early morning search for the sunrise… And some of my favorite shots during the day… Favorite. I think it should be a requirement to have one of these every morning. Every single morning. Wearing cowboy boots...
Solvang Sunrise
Here are some photos I took while in Solvang, CA about a week ago. I wanted to see the sunrise but it turned out to be a gloomy morning… Although I didn’t get the sunrise shots that I wanted, I was able to get something better… Every time I see a flock of birds or...
Spring in Paris
Sometimes life can kick you around a little bit and then point and laugh while you’re down. So to counteract the effects of such bullying, it’s always nice to have backup. And I’m not referring to the backup in the form of chocolate and ice cream. Although those are always nice, I’m talking about the...
Ming Chiens Lighting Workshop
Among one of the most tedious things on my to-do list every week is grocery shopping. Ugh. Just the thought of it makes me shrug and roll my eyes. But the worst thing is when we forget to buy something and don’t realize it’s needed until a few moments before dinner. Then comes the debate...
Going Back In Time
The smell of the aloe vera and vitamin E enriched sunblock lotion woke me up while I prepared to get ready for the day. As I slathered the thick lotion all over my face I closed my eyes for a moment and I went back in time. To parasailing over The Arch, zip lining through...
WPPI Recap
Yes, it felt a lot like high school. Where everyone wants to be friends with the popular kids and no one else, well, matters. Where parties and name dropping left and right are the things to do, because well, everyone else is doing it. But just like high school, WPPI(Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) is...
Avoiding WPPI
I postponed packing for as long as I possibly could. But it’s not like that’s any different from what I usually do, I always wait until the very last second to gather my things for a trip. I don’t mean to do it and I hate my procrastination issues but this time, it was different....
I’m not dreaming.
For the past two days I’ve woken up with a smile on my face. I lay in bed for a few minutes confirming I’m fully awake to make sure the reason I’m smiling isn’t only a dream. And it turns out I’m not dreaming… I AM GOING TO BE AN AUNTIE! (insert a million exclamation...
Standing Tall In Aqua Colored Pants
I don’t remember the details of why I was excited that day but for some reason I wanted school to be done faster than usual. I made my way through the crowded halls out to the quad area and my wedge heels, aqua colored capri pants and I sped up as we were about to...
