One of the most awesome things about being a photographer is getting to be inspired and continue to learn from those that totally Rock!! Monday I got the most awesome opportunity to learn from two of the BEST ... Joe Buissink who is one of the most passionate and inspiring photographers I've met, who has photographed the weddings of people like Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Simpson along with many beautiful people we don't know their names. Marcus Bell, who is also someone who is just so awesome in his sharing and passion that one can only hold back the tears ... well I didn't, when he shared his images with us and his passion. I can not express how totally cool it is to be a part of an industry that is ever striving to help each other, who all share a passion that is so dear to our hearts ... I can only say that I'm blessed to be a part of this Industry and to get to photograph people who let me into their lives that share of part of them and allow me to share a part of me ...

It was totally awesome to get to share the day learning with my fellow local photographer friends Jennifer from the Memory Journalists and Carol Niles and what a truly awesome treat to meet up with a photographer friend Garrett of BirdMan Inc. that I met while training with Mike Colon in Newport Beach ... that was such a treat! I tell you friends ... it is a blessing to have you all in my life and get to learn from the very BEST!

My sweet little beautiful friend Miss. Charlie ... those eyes ... don't they just grab you!

This past week I did a session with my friend Rachael and her beautiful daughter Audra. The coolest thing was that we were doing the session specifically to capture the relationship between baby and mom ... I love these images. I love that they are real and true ... they truly capture my heart and I love that I get to share them.

Beautiful! I took this image of Kara the other day for her real estate work and let me tell you ... I just love this image of her! I had to post this!

80's

What an absolute blast! Recently photographed an 80's theme party and it was so fun ... who would have thought people still had leg-warmers, lace gloves, top-siders ... and of coarse all the great music that everyone knew the words too! Rick from The Entertainment Teamwas such a great DJ and keep the party going ... literally everyone danced all night! What fun!

Mr. Reese! What a Cutie Pie! Honestly!! Here is a couple images that I just loved from my session with him for the Yeah Baby Expo this March 17th and 18th. I just couldn't resit posting these as he is so sweet. He truly did not want to leave that motorcycle! He rode it like a pro! See you guys in March.

So it's been a crazy few weeks ... I've been trying to catch up on things from December and it seems like there is light ... well, I'm starting to see it! Its FEBURARY! I can't belive it! Life is so crazy isn't it ... it's like there is just so much to do and so little time to do it. It flies by! I just got the little ones into bed and I'm thinking ... wow, why can't most of our day be spent with them and the few hours that we squeeze in for them in the evening be for work? ... TIME, TIME, TIME, it is so valuable! We all have the same amount of it and we can't buy any more of it ... crazy isn't it?! The picture above is of my little Isabel when she was 18 months old ... I just ran across it this evening ... I'm registering her for Kindergarden on Monday ... CRAZINESS!!
