Monica - Maternity

Monica and Robert are expecting their little girl in just a couple more months! Monica is such a gorgeous mama-to-be, and it was such an honor to photograph this special time in their lives right before they are about to start their new family! I mentioned to her that I wanted to do their session in Encinitas....Monica said, how perfect...that's where I grew up! It was completely perfect!

Denialle Headshots

I love when things just come together! You might have remembered me photographing Angela's headshots a couple of months back. She was the amazing massage therapist who needed a headshot for her beautiful new website.

Now meet her website designer, Denialle! Denialle contacted me to see if she could get some headshots for her site as well. What do you know...I've been looking for someone to spruce up my blog....we should trade! :) So I met up with her to talk about the blog, and then we stepped out back in the alleyway of my studio and did a quick session for her. Keep a look out for my new blog coming soon! :)

It's been a month?

I can not believe it has been almost a MONTH since I blogged last *slaps hand*, but there are a few really good reasons that I haven't. This last month has been crazy busy, and lots of newness has been goin on :)

First off... I got a studio!!!! Well, it's not a shooting studio, but more a place to meet clients! I've been working on getting it decorated, and will post pictures as soon as it's ready!

Next, and most exciting....I am now a FULL time photographer. For the past 2 years I have attempted to work a full time day job on top of my photography business. It's been alot to handle...to say the least. I'm finally able to enjoy my life without being stressed over not having enough hours in the day to do everything that needs to be done! It's an amazing feeling for me as well as my family :)

And last but not least.... Brian and I went on a cruise! Almost everyone we know has talked about their cruising fun while we were saving to go on ours. By saving I mean saving points on our SeaMiles Mastercard. We have this credit card that racks up points that you eventually can use to take a cruise. We finally had enough points to take us on a 3 night cruise to Ensenada, a 2 hour off road dune buggy excursion, and $100 spending money while onboard....all for FREE!!! To make it even better Brian had NO idea we were going until the night before...I completely surprised him...I was super proud of myself as well as all of our friends and family for not totally blowing it :) He was in shock and super stoked!

I'm now back to work, and working on getting albums ordered and getting a few new blogs ready to post within the next week!

Here's a quick snapshot of us on formal night on the boat :)

Carla-a little bit of everything- Part 2

So I hooked up again with Carla to do some more shots of her jewelry/handbag/clothing lines that she will have available on her new webiste. Her website is so close to being done....just waiting for the final touch...the pictures! Carla represents several designers, and here are a few of my favorite pieces.
