The Little Man of Steel

Have no fear! Super 'W' is here!

**You can pick your friends; You can pick your nose; But you can't pick your friends nose;)

These are just a few shots we took for 'W's Superhero themed birthday party coming up! It's gonna be action packed!!

Where's Bubba-Loo?

Spoon!

Get it? 

Instead of saying "boo!" I said "spoon!" 

Bah ha ha ha ha!

But seriously.

I'm in the spoon.

Happy Tuesday!

**Photos taken @ The Indigo Hotel in Downtown San Diego. Will post more photos from this photo shoot once the issue of San Diego Style Weddings Magazine is published (for which these photos were taken!). Stay Tuned!

Templates are FUN!

Can you tell I'm trying to learn how to use templates?

It always helps when practicing with pictures from a ridiculously adorable family.

BTW: I can use these templates to make books. Ya know, with YOUR photos. Just ask me how you can get one.

I makey for ju.

Things I learned in my Photo Workshop

Some very important things were learned this past weekend while attending a photography workshop.

a. When feeling bored while holding your camera, use your ultra-cool knee high boots as props to take pictures of. Make sure to get them from every angle so you make sure to capture the 'essence' of the shoe (and to make you feel a little better for spending that much on a pair of boots.)

b. As quoted by the late Whitney Houston, "Crack is Whack". Especially the hairy kind.

I'm so glad I attended this workshop. It was very informative. And slightly disgusting...

I. Love. Brides.

While editing some wedding photos this fine evening, I came across this gem.

It made me giggle.

I mean..the BRIDE is EATING her bouquet.

That's funny stuff.

Look what i just did!

Okay. So I know this looks like something you see everyday, {I'm not talking about my GOR-GEE-OUS friend Lisa {{who by-the-way is no longer preggo and is the mom to the most ADORBES baby boy on the planet EARTH!}}.

Look what I made.

Like, all by myself.

It's called trial and error baby! Awww yeah!

In case you're still confused about what I'm talking about, I made this COOL FRAME in Photoshop!!

Der.

This is why I have no time to post any new photos...I'm up all night trying to figure this stuff out.

Just goes to show that hard work DOES pay off!

Oh! And reading LOTS of tutorials:)

{V}iva {L}as {V}egas!!!

Playing while on the job…

I just couldn’t RESIST!!!

{L}ittle Girls

Little girls.

So full of hope.

So full of dreams.

So full of ENERGY!!

I saw my daughter sticking her head out of the window and the look on her face was of ecstatic joy. I had to take a quick snap shot of the moment.

When I was a little older than my daughter is now, I used to play on an all boys baseball team (I was a bit of a Tom-Boy!). I remember during one of our practices I expressed energetically to my coach that “One day, I want to play in the Majors!”.

He looked at me while chuckling and said, “You’ll never be good enough to play in the Majors!”

My heart sunk. My dream shattered.

Aren’t adults suppose to lie to you regardless and tell you that you can be whatever you want to be as long as you work hard at it?

That memory has always stuck with me. I will never tell my children that they can’t reach the moon. I still believe that anything is possible. I want my kids to believe in themselves.

I want Mia to go through life with her head out the window with the wind in her hair and the thrill that anything is possible.

That the moon is in her grasp.

{B}usy, busy, BUSY!

I have been a busy little owl.

These past few weeks have been some of the craziest in my life!

I am not ignoring you, (and when I say you, I mean the 3 people that actually read my blog).

My New Year’s Resolution:

Be better at updating my blog.

Oh! And take more pictures of my kids this year than my dogs.

{B}ubba-{L}oo…..

ps- very delicious photos to come, so stay tuned!

HEY! Where was this when I was a kid...??

Okay. Fer REEEEELZ!!! Why did I not know about this 'secret club' called "Cotillion" when I was growing up??? They like teach you how to dance and how to have manners and all that pash-tukah.

The parents of these A-DORBES fifth and sixth graders go above and beyond to make each month of Cotillion a spectacular and memorable experience! I was just thrilled to be asked to photograph the event. I seriously could have spent ALL DAY taking photos!

I like-a to take-a da fotos.

{B}ubba-{L}oooooooooooooo........!

{J}ust along for the ride...

My photography ‘career’ if you want to call it that started out as something so simple.

I wanted to take cool photos.

It has turned into the wildest ride of my life.

Being a mom of three kids it has not been an easy road. Not easy by a long shot.

But I love what I do. I love the people I meet. I love taking 'snaps'.

I love my job.
