New Look

You might have noticed that weird things are happening on my website.   Pages are disappearing my client slideshows are not there etc etc well don't worry you're not going crazy.  I am working on my site and since I'm not a computer wiz things are happening that are not supposed to be happening.  Please be patient with me I'm on it! I'm excited about the new look new pictures and new songs.   I have not gotten rid of my client slideshows it's just taking lots of time to load them all up.  I have added a Boudoir section so I'm working on the pictures to put there.  Keep checking it should be done by the end of next week!!  Thanks for your interest in my photography and I can't wait to get your feed back on the new look.  Ciao.

Haunted House

My demented hubby :) and his friends like to put on a haunted house every year.  It is actually really good and people love it but it is NOT kid friendly and this year my 7 year old wanted to be a part of it.  They have her sitting on a couch just looking at people as they enter.  She is dying to jump up and chase them but one of the guys got punched in the nose by a scared teenage girl so I don't want her anywhere near freaked out people.  They have the scarriest masks and there is soooo much blood and body parts everywhere.  I will post more pics after tonight.  This is the first night I can actually be there to take pics because I've had weddings every weekend.  Here are a couple of pics we did.  Oh and yes that is my 7 year old that my lovely husband is holding and I photoshopped out the stool she was standing on so NO he is not holding her by her hair!!  And those are props!!!

Boudoir

I've been getting lost of calls for Boudoir lately and this is one of my faves.  I can't mention her name just yet because she is surprising her husband for their first anniversary in November but she was lots of fun.  First of all because we've been emailing back and forth for a while and I really felt like she was a friend by the time her shoot came along and second because she had lots of fun outfits.  A few where 50s inspired and she even had her done in a five finger wave.  She looked great and I'm sure her husband will LOVE them!  I will post more after her hubby gets to see them:)

Stinkin blogger

AAAAHHHHHH I'm so frustrated with blogger.  I have been trying to post pictures for almost a week now and it's just not uploading them.  I actually let it upload for over an hour once and still nothing.  I love blogging and sharing my new shoots but this is crazy!!  Well, you keep checking and I'll keep trying!

October 12th.  Well, it's not just any day for me.  I have dated 3 boys who were born on this day. Cameron, I can't remember what his last name was we dated briefly, Billy Zumbrun, who is now a professional boxer I also dated him briefly, and James Harper, whom I dated on and off for 2 1/2 years and was the love of my life (until I met the real love of my life Markie poo) James passed away tragically a few years ago :(  Now not only did I date 3 boys who share this birthday, but I was married on October 12th 1997.  After exactly 4 years of marriage, Mark and I had Miss Alexa on October 12th, 2001.  How bizarre is this?  I'm curious to see what else significant happens on this day.  As for this year, not much we celebrated Alexas birthday yesterday and went to my little cousin, Arias, bday party today.  I can't believe I've been married for 11 years!!  I feel like we just got married.  How time flies!!

I often get such beautiful emails from people and I save them and read them over and over again. I received this one from Star yesterday and I just wanted to share it with you all.  Stuff like this really makes my day and makes me feel great.  I love the people that my camera has brought into my life.  Thanks to everyone for your encouragement and kind words.  People often say to me "oh yeah I saw that on your blog" or "great blog pics" and I'm surprised at how many people really do come to my blog.  I'm flattered.  Please leave comments so that I know you were here.  Sometimes I feel like no one is looking at it and I'm wasting my time.  Ok drama blog entry right?  :)

Star & Andrews Laguna Beach Wedding

On Friday October 3rd I shot Star & Andrews wedding.   I have been looking forward to this one since they booked me back in Jan of last year.  The couple lives in San Francisco and the wedding was at The Surf and Sand Hotel in Laguna Beach.  I went up to San Fran in July and did their engagement shoot and just had a blast.  Here are some pictures from their amazing wedding.  Doesn't Star just look awesome? (you too Andrew) Love it!! Click on the pics to see them enlarged.
