I hope they call me on a Mission!

This brave girl...all of 19 years young...is leaving her friends and loved ones for EIGHTEEN MONTHS to serve a mission for her church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) in beautiful Richmond Virginia!

Good luck to 'Sister S' on her amazing journey...I have a feeling many doors will be opened because of her DYNAMIC personality and contagious laugh;) 

ps~ I know I need help w/ my sidewalk chalk art, okay? I am a true Artist (no, I really am. I grew up on the mean streets of Laguna Beach where our HS mascot was....wait for it....wait for it...The Artists. People FEARED us! Outsiders didn't dare look us in the eye for they knew only trouble would ensue!  I mean our band wore FEATHERS in their caps and a CAPE!! It doesn't get scarier than that!! You just didn't mess with...an 'Artist')
It's been a 'few' years now since my glory days, but just like any 'true' Artist, I will never give-up until I am the best! 

Fear. Me.



Did I really just go on a rant about sidewalk chalk??

Yes. Yes I did.

Under Construction

Hello my dear Bubba-Loo Peeps!

If you have been stopping by and wondering what in the name of Voldemort is going on here, I have an explanation...

I am trying to update my blog.

TRYING is the key word here.

I'm TRYING to make things prettier and easier to navigate. I'm TRYING to add a little 'pizzaz' and create a uniform and consistant blog.

I'm TRYING not to go INSANE while doing so.

I'm what you call 'Technically Challenged' so there has been a lot of google searching and YouTube watching the past few days...

So hang in there cause things are 'bout to get all crazy up in here....but will {fingers and toes crossed} settle down here in the next few days as I navigate my way through tutorial after tutorial after tutorial;)

Bubba-Looooooooooooooooooooo................

It's a Doggy Dog World

I

Love

My

Job.

Kings of Del Mar

Yep. It's Fall here in good 'ol sunny Southern California.

Life's a Beach.

And That's a Wrap!

Ahhhh...Wedding Season. 

My favorite time of the year! 

Also the most stressful, enjoyable, exhausting, creative, can't feel my hands from too much editing, stupendous, hair pulling, exhilarating, frazzled, impelling, overtired and sensational time of the year!

I survived and that's all that matters! bah!!

I have to say though that my brides are the MOST beautiful (inside and OUT!), FUN, spontaneous and MADLY in love that they make my job not only EASY but SOOOOO enjoyable;)

I've come so far from where I started so many years ago with my little Canon Rebel (which by the way, if you're looking to dabble in photography, the Rebel is SUCH a great camera to learn on!!) and my kit lenses BEGGING my friends to model for me so that I could practice. Spending hundreds of hours watching tutorial after tutorial on how to use photoshop and signing up for every photography workshop I could! I had (and still do!) this unquenchable thirst to learn everything I could about photography because when I held a camera in my hands nobody could tell me what to do. I was slowly but surely coming into my own and developing my own style. That is the beauty of photography...your eye looking through the lens is like looking at a blank canvas and just by the push of a button you have created something beautiful! (except when your photos are blurry because your shutter speed was too slow because you didn't understand that in order to get the perfect photo you had to make sure that your ISO, your aperture and your shutter speed were all in sync...a lesson you learn as you go!)

Okay...wasn't I talking about weddings?? I get off track sometimes...(a lot, okay?? I get off the subject a lot. I can't help it. I have an appointment to get my brain checked for...well, I don't know...diet coke poisoning or something?)

Here are a few of my lovely brides from this year.... 

More to come soon!! xoxo

Buh-Bye Summer

Did summer really come and go already??....
