Archive for January, 2009

This past Saturday I looked out the window when I got up and saw all the clouds, and I was nervous! I saw it had rained just a bit overnight and was praying that it would hold off till late morning. Why? Because I was going to shoot Dan and Emily’s engagement photos! Emily is the daughter of my dad’s cousin. Got that? lol I’m not sure what that makes her to me as far as relatives, but the point is, she is family an I couldn’t be happier that her and Dan chose me to shoot their engagements and wedding!

The rain did indeed hold off till late morning, in fact, as I was driving away from El Monte Park it started sprinkling a little bit. Here are a couple of my favorites!

Are you kidding me with those eyes?!?!? Gorgeous!!

Handsome Dan! (Inadvertent Wayne’s World reference…lol Points if you no what I’m talking about!)

I’m so excited for the wedding in June!

Things I Love Thursdays

January 15, 2009

The Chargers loss has put me in no mood to do a happy cheery video this week. (Really, I just don’t want you all to see my tear-stained, makeup smeared face. hahaha) I’m just so let down!

- Cardinals

Okay, I am now rooting for the Cardinals…really anyone but the Steelers, but the Cards are as big of an underdog team as the Chargers were, and I always love an underdog story. Plus Kurt Warner’s a pretty cool dude. Go Cards!!

- 85 degree weather

Okay, I’m sorry to brag about this to everyone back east where apparently it’s literally freezing all day long, but we’ve been having some awesome weather this week and I’ll just add that to the list of reason why San Diego RULES.

- WPPI!

If you were around the blog last year in March, you’ll remember that I spent a week in Vegas at the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) convention in Las Vegas. Well this year it’s in February and I can’t begin to express how excited I am to see all my cross-country photographer friends again, and meet new ones! Besides being one big giant party, there’s all kinds of amazing speakers, get togethers and shooting opportunities to be had, and I’ve been looking forward to this since I went home from last year’s. Super super super excited!!

If you are reading this right now, and going to WPPI, then we must get together! Send me an email (alyssa@hybrid-photography.com) with your cell # and we will make sure to hook up! I can’t wait to see everyone! :)

Things I Love Thursdays

January 8, 2009

Sorry everyone, no totally hyper video this week. :) I have been quite busy with my website launch, and the subsequent email problems it caused, so no time to record a video, just this short text. Pretty boring, huh? (The correct answer is “oh no, not boring at all!” haha)

-I LOVE MY CHARGERS!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!

I love my boys and all, but I wasn’t so sure we could beat the Colts. I knew there was a chance, but especially with LT and Gates hurt I wasn’t totally convinced. hah Well I’d just like to say how amazing that game was! What a way to win!! I really really hope there is some sort of tiny chance that we can win this weekend against the Steelers; that would be FABULOUS. We will see. But serious props to Darren Sproles for kicking some serious butt out there. I love my Philip but Sproles was the main reason we won that game.

- Will Forte

This video is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a really long time.

Okay, that’s really it for this week, toldja it;d be short! :) Hopefully I will be talking about the Chargers beating the Steelers next time!

Email is back!

January 5, 2009

Hey everyone! Just wanted to throw it out there that my email is back online, and I can now receive messages again. If you emailed me in the last 3 or 4 days, please note that I have not received it, and send another email if you’d be so kind.

And thank you to everyone for your kind comments on the new website! If you haven’t checked it out, please do so at www.hybrid-photography.com

So this video was supposed to air on Thursday, as well as my website launching, but there were some serious technical difficulties with it, and it’s finally just been resolved. Needless to say I am less than pleased but all is well now and here is the video that was supposed to air on Thursday, so just pretend it’s still then. lol

And GO CHARGERS!!!

And I’m really very excited about my new website launch….please go have a look-see around and lemme know what ya think! :) www.hybrid-photography.com

Email is being a little sketchy still, so if I don’t respond within 24 hours, please send another one! :)
