I'm a lover of color, family, love, laughter + sunshine.

 

I also live on coffee + tacos, but what mom of toddlers doesn't?1

the end of 2010

This year has been a whirl-wind. Half the stuff I’ve done was never imagined, and all the amazing people I’ve met has completely changed my life. I’ve shot 32 weddings, and with each wedding I’m still learn something new. I’ve lost feeling in my fingers, worked 20 hour days, cried till my eyes had no...

Merry Christmas

I can’t believe Christmas is this Saturday. Tomorrow. Considering I still have two more weddings before I wrap up this year, it definitely seems like it’s still October. Or November…right before Thanksgiving. Speaking of Thanksgiving, I must give thanks to Target. 95% of my Christmas shopping was done there. For the first time, I was...

Sparkles helped me get my start

I was drinking my yummy milk tea with extra Boba at work one day and was just hit with a memory. It was almost two years ago. I was filling my time up with putting together jewelry. I would break apart old necklaces and make something new out of them. It was fun and easy...

Light is everything { and why I stay away from the sun }

Class, get our your notebooks…because we are going to get our learn-on. I want my couples to know what I looking for when I’m walking around with them. And yes, I know that sometimes I look crazy. I’ve come to terms with it. Rule #1. Light is everything. Light makes photos what they are. Without...

a hello from the stars { vacation in Death Valley }

Living in Los Angeles or Orange County, sometimes it’s easy to forget we have stars. And I’m not talking about the ones in Hollywood. I know…it’s a funny thought…but it’s true. Some places in LA you can go without seeing a single star. And no, the blinking dot in the sky isn’t a star. It’s...

Memo + Michelle { Teaser and Vacation notice }

Next week I’m taking my first vacation in a long time. A vacation without phone service or internet…wait for it…dun-dun-DUN! During this time of serious internet withdraws…I hope to recharge, eat excessive amounts of camping food and climb sand dunes till I pass out. It should be loads of fun. Minus the whole passing-out-thing. Since...

Candice hearts { this week – wishlist edition }

Sometimes I spend way too much time online. Like, I forget how to talk to people in real life and my skin starts to glow in the winter. For reals. Since spending time online and browser window shopping go hand-in-hand, I have been already building my wish-list for Christmas (or Hanukkah if you’re my mom)....

Looking back at October

On Saturday night I got home from a wedding and noticed that October just passed me by. In the month of October: I’ve photographed 6 weddings 3 engagement sessions 2 anytime sessions 1 trash the dress session. It’s been a crazy month…but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. <3 A little teaser from today’s...

For the love of cows and all things green

Back in July my sister and I had a road trip. It wasn’t far, but it was far enough to get away from the smog-filled city. We could breath clean air, surround ourselves with green and just slow down a little bit. Seriously, live in downtown LA for a year and you will start craving...

vanilla flavored coffee

You know those nights when you don’t want to go to sleep? The glow of the computer screen, your photographs and a cup of vanilla flavored coffee is all you need to feel fulfilled? I know those nights so well. They make me feel warm and safe. As I scroll though a session, and see...

take a moment to smell the flowers

So as I gather all of my favorite images of 2010, I stumble across this one. Something about it just stops me in my tracks. It might be the dress, or the amazing flowers…but I think its more than that. It’s the look on her face, she seems so happy and content. Life is good...

Karma and Stuff

Last week I coached my first photographer though a session. I didn’t even think I had it all together, let alone be able to teach someone else my ghetto-fabulous ways. I’ve always helped 3rd shooters at weddings and even had coffee with people just starting out…but it kinda hit me that I have something I...
