I just got back from San Francisco. I went down for a few days, a little bit of fun, and a little bit of work. The weather was spectacular!! It is the most beautiful place on earth to photograph! It was so nice to get away. Today felt a little bit like…”back to life, back to reality.” It’s always so great to escape, but the truth of our lives, is “life!” Today was busy & challenging, but wonderful at the same time. I had an early photoshoot, lunch with a dear friend, counseling, errands, teaching, dinner, more errands, and then trying to “catch” up! Being that the day was full, my heart was full all day, as well!! Nothing could stop me from having a happy day!!! Jodi, of http://mcpactions.com/blog interviewed me & she posted the interview on her blog today. It made my heart pitter patter & I had butterflies throughout the day!! I was so honored to be interviewed & featured on her blog! It was truly so beyond special. Be sure to check out the interview!! & be sure to check out Jodi’s site! It is amazing!!!!!
I just uploaded one of the shoots in San Fran. Adam & Monika were so delightful! I so enjoyed our session! I have known Adam & his family for forever! They are the most incredible family! Our family has so many memories with their’s, it is truly an honor to be capturing one more celebration!!! Adam & Monika have been friends for a lifetime!! After years of staying connected & being BFF’s, they decided to go to a movie, The Interpreter, with Nichole Kidman! From then on, they have been together! They are getting married in August. I am so looking forward to capturing their special day!!!

I have had a bit of catching up to do & still have a bit more, starting to see the light, but with everything going on in my life, it just has been a bit of a process!!! Things are starting to plateau a bit more, but still have hard days!!! All that to say, I love the month of October (these were taken in October!!) The colors are so beautiful! It is a magical month to take pictures!!! Thank you ALL for your patience, for your love, and for your continued encouragement! I don’t think I could make it without you lifting up my arms & telling me that it is going to be okay!!
Paul & Mandy are absolutely the sweetest couple!!! Everything about their relationship has fallen right into place! I’m so excited to capture their wedding in May!!!! Congratultions on your engagment, Paul & Mandy!!! I am soooo happy for you!!!

A friend of mine told me about the coolest app ever for my iPhone- it is hipstamatic! It is the coolest way to take a picture, other than with a Canon, EVER!! LOL! Here were a few from today–
my day started out with a little coffee…
went into Starbucks & got a little more coffee, while at Starbucks, found this amazing journal. It is called My Life. It’s a book of lists–lists that inspire your life!!! Excited to journal in this!!!
Stepping out of Starbucks I saw this beautiful tree.. I love winter.
and ended the day with a Family Fun night at the kid’s school. It was a great night! Ben snapped this picture of me. Typically I don’t like pics of myself, but for some reason I liked this one…
So, yes, download this app if you have an iPhone. It is super fun & super addicting!!!
.life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… its about learning how to dance in the rain.
