Wow! The past couple of weeks have been flying by! Things have been so crazy......and moving at lightning speed. We are working very hard on getting the studio open. It is going to be in downtown Conway right next to Ye Olde Daisy Shoppe! We will hopefully be opening in two weeks. I'm going to check in on the space today to see how things are coming along, and take a few pictures to share. In the meantime, here are a few more of my favorites from California.

I would love to know you stopped by! Feel free to leave me a comment! :)

Here are a few of my favorites from the shoots in California. Today, the focus is on the beautiful Jasmine. She is an aspiring photographer and a gorgeous woman both inside and out! I personally think she should be an aspring model.......what do you think?!

She and her husband JD were both wonderful models for us. As much as we tried to talk her into it she is not going to pursue modeling. She is an amazing writer though and will be an amazing photographer. Who knows....maybe one day I will have the pleasure of shooting a wedding with her?!

I wish you all the best, Jasmine! You're awesome, girl!

To start my week in California off with a bang, I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot a wedding with two very sweet, talented photographers! Jessica Claire is from California and she allowed Liana Lehman (from Atlanta) and me to shoot her wedding with her. It was such an amazing learning opportunity for me! I look up to both of these photographers so much......I have admired their work for so long......so shooting a wedding side-by-side with them was really a dream come true. Especially at this location! I mean........look at that view!

The wedding was at the Casa Romantica in San Clemente. It has been around since 1928! It was a perfect location for a wedding.

Below are just a few of my favorites from the day.

The ceremony was supposed to have been outside overlooking the ocean, but just before the bride was to walk down the aisle the rain began. The bottom dropped out and all of the guests hurried inside. I felt so bad for the bride, but she really did not let it bother her at all. She waited patiently with a smile on her face in the back room while preparations were made for the ceremony to take place indoors. You could tell by watching here that all she wanted was to marry the love of her life! What a blessing!!

This is my favorite shot from the ceremony. You can tell they are so in love in this picture.

What a beautiful couple and a wonderful opportunity. I thank God for all of the opportunities He has given me over the past few months. I know that each one has been a blessing from Him, and I never want to forget that!

Wow! The last few weeks have been so super busy and exciting! I have been home for one week from Mike Colon's photography seminar in beautiful California. I had such a wonderful week with a very talented group of photographers! And I learned soooo much.

But before the week of the seminar began, I spent several days in Las Vegas with my aunt, uncle, and cousins. I had a fabulous time with them! I also got to meet little Bradley - my cousin Corey's son. He is such a beautiful baby!

I thank them so much for showing me such a great time in Vegas!

I will be posting pictures from the wedding I shot with the very talented Jessica Claire and Liana Lehman and from the rest of the week very soon!!
