Photowall.

FUN! So much of it in fact. For all of you brides out there, I suggest you get one. It's a cost effective way to ensure that every single person attending your wedding is documented. The cousins and I pooled together to gift this to our cutie bride and it couldn't have been better. Silly props, great lighting, and room to fit in all of your favorite people! (here I am, with one of my favorite people.) The Crew.


Bubbles!

These were the best of the best. Even our 87 year old grandma got in on the fun.


It's a great way to make a fun situation even funner, incorporate your wedding theme, and a super way to create memories that will last well beyond the last dance. Thanks to Mike Arick Photography and crew for setting this up for us. Cheers to Jessica and Jason, our favorite SoCal-ers!

This is photo of Jess with my mom, who will be turning 60 this week. People, this is what 60 looks like! She doesn't dye her hair, drink, or smoke and stays skinny by snacking and drinking water all day, everyday. I can only hope to look this good when I am eligible for my senior citizen discount. Happy Birthday Mom! Love you!

A Wine Country Romance

Ah-mazing cheekbones! That's really all I see when I look at Mae and her beau. You know I had to put some pretty pink blush on those cheeks! She sent these beautiful images from her engagement shoot taken in Napa. Cool venue, looks like the castle grounds in Ireland! The talented "Photocrafter" Tom Penpark captured the lovebirds on a bright and sunny Saturday.

I love her costume changes and her adoring gaze at her soon to be husband. Can't wait to work with Mae again in September! See more of their shoot here!

Lost at Sea


For those of you who live locally, you've probably heard of the "Missing 7" from the San Felipe boat that capsized last weekend in Mexico. For my family in particular, this story hits home because my parents are good friends with one of the missing, Don Lee. My dad is a fishing buddy of Don's and he has been losing sleep thinking about Don every day. His daughter is one of my favorite people and she has been working endlessly to work with the government and any other avenues to help find her dad and bring him home. Funding is needed to continue the search and we all hold hope in our hearts that everyone can return home safely.
For my followers, here's a beauty related way you can get involved.
