My favorite part about these two? They let me drag them through the marshland near the Martinez marina. And they didn’t complain once! In fact, they even let me back into their car after I fell into the water. Oh yes, you read that right. Me and my big mouth fell into the super stinky, nature breeding waters of the Martinez marsh. I still swear it was worth it.

I can’t to meet little Brody.

Oh.  And Brody’s room has a locker in it. As in, a really high school locker.  How cool is that!?

You are gorgeous Stephanie, really and truly.  I can’t wait for October!

What are your after school activities:

Most of my extra curricular activities are with my school’s music program. After finding my passion for performing with our Minutemen Marching Band’s Auxiliary unit, I tried to find new forms of performing. I am currently involved with Show Choir, Concert Choir, Auxiliaries, and Winter Guard. I also am planning to take jazz and ballet dance classes this summer. My secret ambition is to finish college and go to Julliard….


What makes me, me? Well, a few dozen things, I suppose. I am effervescent, intelligent, and determined to fight society’s ills. I typically stay in an uplifted, happy mood and find a way to make the best out of situations. I hardly ever simply blow of a task, listing that it is too hard or not worth it, and if I get something down, I work harder to improve it. I make plans, and although they sometimes fade away or I decide to take a different route, I love making them; they are a fun, creative way to fill in all of the possibilities of this crazy thing called life.

Check out the goodies that arrived just this week. This are all gorgeous press printed books in 3×3, 5×5 and 8×8. I’m in love with the dupioni silk covers. And the art linen paper. And really, just about every little thing about them.

The Senior Spokesmodel cards pretty much rock my world too.

Gorgeous, right?

I can’t share much, but remember that Event Planner I posted about last week?  Well, she’s amazing.  And the shoot we did together rocked my socks off.  I can’t post more than a  quick peek at the moment, but just know that what’s coming will be worth the wait.

Trisha is the brain behind Trisha Dean Events based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Not only is she uber talented, but the girl has some serious style. (Plus, she’s also a former client!) She and I recently paired to shoot a styled engagement session and the results are knock your socks off gorgeous.   I was so impressed!

If you are engaged, soon to be engaged or single and ready to party, give Trisha a call. I promise, you’ll love her!

Genn and I practically grew up together. For a long time, we looked a lot a like.  People thought we were twins! (Well, one person did – so we thought it was a universal rule!)  We spent our childhood years carrying around our fully stocked caboodle make-up kits, our pre-teen summers pretending we were characters from the Sweet Valley High book series, and our adult lives being each others bridesmaids and parenting consultants.  I feel so lucky to have Genn in my life. And I couldn’t be more excited for her and her happy family.

Thank you Genn and Chris for bring your family all the way down here.  I had so much fun chasing the kids around the ranch.

Little Danika is an exact replica of Genn.  And she’s serious about her cuteness.

Ok Chris, No need to send your kid into orbit…

I love you two!

You can see some behind the scenes video from JVS here. Can you spot me? I make an appearance right at the beginning.

Here are some of my favorite shots from throughout the day.

Seriously, is she not GORGEOUS.  She was working it, for sure.

Shooting in Jack London Square makes me giddy.  It’s one of my favorite places to shoot, and it was fun to get a different perspective on a place I’ve been so many times.

I’m loving the flare in this series.  Technically flare is considered a flaw.  But I really do love it!

Thank you to Angela for bring JVS to the Bay Area!

After all, there are only 165 days left until Christmas.
