Welcome to my blog! I am a wedding and portrait photographer in San Diego, but I dont just write about photography here. You will find personal projects, a little about my family and friends, random encounters I have, as well as all the good stuff you came here for. So relax and take a load off while you enjoy my sometimes crazy, sometimes dorky, but always fun and genuine, adventures.
This is Briana. She’s one of my reps for this year. She’s beautiful! We drove up to Green Valley Falls a couple weeks ago for her senior session and we totally had a blast! I was excited to see there was actually water in the falls still, even at the end of summer. I LOVE this location and I can’t wait to shoot there again. 
Here are some of my favorite images of Briana:
Time for another Things I Love Thursday!
~ Michael Phelps will be hosting Saturday Night Live on the 13th of September for the season premier. Yes, I certainly will be watching. haha This should actually prove fairly entertaining!
~ Regular season football is back next week! Hooray! I looooove football, the Chargers in particular, and LT specifically. I just bought myself a second LT jersey a few days ago because I only had a white away jersey. Now I have a home one. ^_^
~ Lately I’ve totally been loving the Photoshop Disasters blog. As a fairly well-versed photoshop user myself, I find these PS faux pas by big companies totally hilarious. Like this one from Kona bikes:
That’s all for this week, stay tuned for more of my favorite things *cue cheesy favorite things song*
Oops….forgot my Thursday blog post. *sheepish grin* To my defense I have a lot going on right now. lol Here’s this week’s things I love:
Yes, I secretly love NASCAR (okay, maybe not so secretly!) and this week they are at Bristol! It just doesn’t get any better than this super short track, beatin’ and bangin’ into each other…I just hope Kyle Busch doesn’t win. I can’t STAND that guy!
Yes, I admit it. I’m addicted to the self-proclaimed “Queen of all media”’s blog. I just can’t stop myself. lol If you’re bored and looking for some juicy celeb gossip, then definitely head on over to Perez’s blog. I’ve been especially fond of all the Michael Phelps coverage lately. 
~ My logo designer, Joan at Bitsy Creations
I’ve been doing a lot of work behind the scenes the last few months updating my branding, website, blog and pricing, and Joan has been SUCH a huge help in the process. You’ll get to see her work when I unveil my new look in a few weeks, but in the meantime I’d just like to give a public shoutout to Joan and say THANK YOU for all your help! If you need a logo or business card design, or actually I think she does greeting cards too, then head over to her website and take a little look-see.
That’s it for this week! Stay tuned next week because I have a couple senior sessions to blog and I’m shooting a rockin’ wedding tomorrow so I’ll have some good stuff for y’all!
Last weekend I went downtown with Andrea to shoot her senior portraits, and let me tell you, I had an absolute blast! We were laughing pretty much the entire time…this girl is hilarious! And I lover her edgy style…so I rolled with it on my processing and used some more textures and stuff. I looooveeee how they turned out! Here are a few favorites:
That last one is my total favorite from the session. Andrea totally rocked it!
A few weeks ago I went down to Ocean Beach with Ashley, who is one of my senior reps this year, to do her senior session. I’ve actually never shot down in OB before but I’ve always loved the character and grungy beach feeling of the area. After we cruised around the pier and down Newport, we headed over to Sunset Cliffs to try and catch a sunset, but it was totally overcast, so we made do. I had a total blast with Ashley! She’s so much fun!
Here are a few of my favorite images:
Oops, it’s been exactly a week since my last post. I have lots of things to post, I promise! I’ve just been moving this whole week. It takes up soooo much time. 
I’m all settled in now, so hopefully I should have something up tomorrow!
Here are the things I’m loving this week:
~The Olympics!
I love watching the Olympics every time it’s on (in the summer anyways!) Gymnastics, swimming, diving, volleyball….all good stuff!
~As an addition to the above, I LOVE MICHAEL PHELPS! haha
I mean really, how could you not? The guy is amazing. It’s absolutely indescribable. Watching him blow by everyone else is so much fun. Oh and the 4×100 freestyle relay? WOW. Best moment in the Olympics so far I think.
~My iPhone.
I’ve had the iPhone for a little over a month now, and with a few tiny exceptions, it’s flawless and I absolutely adore it. I highly HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for a new phone, and especially to women looking to lighten their purse! My on little iPhone replaces my old cell phone, my iPod, my appointment book and my mileage log notebook in my purse. When I first took those things out it felt like I was just missing everything! My shoulder has definitely thanked me though!
That’s it for this week’s Thursday loves, I’ll have some more fun things next week.
I’ve decided to start a new little feature on my blog called “Things I Love Thursdays” where, you guessed it, I will be featuring some things I love that week in a random, list-ordered fashion.
Things I love this week:
~Tickets for the pre-season Chargers game against the Seahawks can be had for $10 on stubhub.com and I definitely plans on attending. My goal is to make it to two Charger games this season (preseason counts!). Definitely won’t be going to the Jetts game…tickets jumped to a minimum of $100 a pop after the Brett Farve announcement today.
~Fashion blog You Look Fab has a great post about this season’s best and worst trends and I have to say I totally agree with Angie’s perception. I read this blog daily and highly recommend it.
~Seniors! This Saturday will kick off a 5 weekend in a row span of senior portrait sessions and I couldn’t be more excited. I looooove shooting seniors and I can’t wait for all of my appointments in the next month!
~All of my photographer friends! My birthday was on Tuesday and I got the most birthday wishes I’ve ever gotten. You all made my day so good, and it’s so appreciated. I love all of you! <3
That’s it for this week’s Things I Love Thursday, I’ll have some more cool stuff up next week. Toodles!
