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?
