ahhh the gorgeous field!  and gorgeous gal, of course. ;)  we ran up to the field to capture a few fun images the other night.  unfortunately, we lost the sun really quckly!  so we met up the next day on a cute little road with a country feel to it to finish off the session.  thanks again stacy!  you are simply beautiful and it was a pleasure to photograph you.

valentine’s day sessions make my heart sing.

last winter i shot an amazing engagement session in the valley’s best kept secret of a location.  i was afraid it wouldnt come back, or that people would build homes over it.  but… i drove by today and i SQUEEEELED!  it’s BACK!

book your session FAST!  it only lasts for about 4 weeks.

omg. omg. omg.

here are some of my very favorite places on the internet this week…

really REALLY beautiful children’s clothing from Beane & Company.  not just my favorite because i want to go back and time and be a kid just so i can fit into these gorgeous dresses, but also my favorite because i’m doing an exclusive clothing line shoot with her daughter this month!  i could not be more excited.  so be sure to visit HERE and buy a bunch of stuff.

if you’re a mama you must read this blog entry.  trust me.

if you live in the OC you should hire Christie Hobson to photograph your life.  she blows my mind.  of course if you live in LA or Ventura County you should hire me to photograph your life.  but you already know that.

this is an awesome blog if you’re looking to be inspired.

in case you are living under a rock and weren’t aware that you can text money to haiti – you can.  here’s how.  if you didn’t know, now you have no excuse.  if you did know – do it.  now.  everybody who owns a cell phone has ten dollars.  don’t be crappy.

i’m not ashamed to admit i love me some kittehs.

this blog is pretty

thats all for today.  thank you, internet.

i love coming across images that make you want to just crawl right in and live in that moment.

anna and steve chose a 40′s inspired engagement session.  it was a chilly sunday sunrise… but we had a blast!  they brought their sweet dog who was in heaven running laps around us in the field.  i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again – engagement sessions are my very very favorite.  :)

congrats on the engagement anna and steve!  what a darling couple you are!
