Stay tuned for the awesomest shoot of one of my BFF's Kirsten and her rad fiance Sead. Enjoy a preview of what's to come!

Just one of those days.... :)

It was one of those days where I needed to snap some shots. I'm not huge on shooting plants, etc. I like the "catching the moment" experience-- of people, and places... but this was a day that I decided not to call anyone.  I felt like going alone and it was such a surreal experience...it was wonderful! Look at how beautiful the day was!!!

I think the once in a while shots of flowers and plants-- alone is an experience everyone should have... ;)

The Reception of Nathan and Lisa!!!!

It was incredible! I fell in love with cake... check out the fabulous mirror that it is in front of... it made for some awesome shots while their "cut the cake". The first picture is of Nathan's Mom. I also fell in love with her earrings! Are they not everything you could ever want in an earring?!?  That's what I thought too! ;) 

Lisa sang and played a beautiful song to her new man! It was so cute! She did a great job!

Also, I snapped some shots of them outside the reception center-- right before the reception began. Thanks for inviting me Nathan and Lisa!!!

Beautiful Melissa Terry! soon to be...Saunders!!

These Bridals were out of this WORLD! We had so much fun walking around and finding different places to snap shots. Melissa was such a good sport with my excitement as I snapped away in these rad spots!  

Jason and Katie Spalding!!

ENJOY!!!!!

Trent the Model

Look at this guy! he was natural and he was so much fun to shoot!... I never thought I'd have the opportunity to snap some model shots! Thank you Trent for the wonderful adventure!!!

COMMENTS....

So i decided that Life without comments isn't as exciting as i thought it would be! i want to hear from everyone who has something great to say about anything ineteresting! i dont know how much sense that made, but what i do know is that i want your comments!!! so please, feel free to get commenting on anything and everything!

also, it took me forever to figure out how to make comments avaliable for anyone and everyone, i just can get it avaliable on my previous posts that have already been published. so if you have any idea of how to go about fixing the situation... let me know! i would loved to be informed of this "oh so difficult" task... ;).

i hope all is well and that everyone is happy!! :).................................................

Trip to Solvang, CA

This was a quick trip my parents and i, along with my brother jarrett and his girly, took to Solvang, California! it was so much fun and i thought i would document a few fun moments we had there...:)

This would be his Zoolander "look"...
my brother and i...:)
i thought this was just a rad picture... his girl is the one the background.

..and i was trying to get them on either side of me! it worked on the first try.. congrats to myself..
did i mention this was an imitation of a dutch town? i love the way they spelled "flowers"
ever since i was a little girl, i could remember these flowers that they had along side mortenson's bakery (SO yummy) and they became one of my favorite "fleurs"... thought you might enjoy seeing the happiness they bring me!

sadly, i have no clue what they are called and i've only seen them in solvang. i wish i knew their name..

The Watene Family!

This is my sister Jacques Family! They just recently added an a new baby to their family- Rowan Croswell! He was previously on my blog, just not "visible" (if you catch that). He is in an older post in his mom's tummy. I had so much fun with them! my neice just turned 12 and she is just absolutely Beautiful!! and the 3 sons... just look at them... they are SO handsome! Enjoy!
