Everything looks great! The site is easy to navigate and clean and fresh. Just a tip, if you can on the blog, make it so links can be right clicked or automatically open in a new tab. I waited for a long time for the blog to download and when I clicked the Elle Decor link, I lost your page and had to reload again.

This fun family contacted me before Christmas to capture a few images for their holiday cards this year and also to document their time in Santa Barbara, they are moving soon and wanted to remember their favorites spots about town...it was awesome because they had all the locations scouted out and picked some pretty cool places.  We ended up at the beach, the bluffs and a very cool lemon grove!  Check it out!

of my Fuji Instax that is!!!  Ahhh!  I LOVE this little camera!  So much fun :)  This was one of my many cool gifts from my parents and I seriously.CANNOT.stop.playing.with.this.camera!!!  

I know Bear is so sick of playing model because I keep posing him in the yard, at the park, on the bed, in the car, and just about everywhere else...but he does like to take part in my "shake it like a polaroid picture" dance as we wait for the film to develop :)

Happy 2010!  You can just feel the excitement in the air...a new day, a new week, a new year...a fresh slate, so to speak.  A new year is so refreshing and feels just like starting a new school year as a child...you know, with the perfectly combed hair, pressed outfit, new backpack, shiny new lunch box and freshly sharpened pencils and that feeling of Who will I meet this year?!  What all will I learn?!  I am so excited for what 2010 holds for myself personally and professionally and I look forward to sharing it all with you on my blog :)

I am finally back from our great Americana road trip number two and I have a few more images to share...

We actually went by Mount Rushmore on the way to North Carolina but I didn't have a chance to blog the last part of our trip after Blizzard 2009 took place!

On our way back we stopped in the Big Easy for New Years Eve and then came through San Antonio...

We also took the time to go by a few wineries in Fredericskburg, Texas...our first stop was to Sister Creek Vineyards which was situated in an old cotton gin...very cool!

Next we ventured out to Grape Creek Vineyards:

I am quite the sucker for wine racks!

After driving through west Texas we took a few random highways to get to Roswell, NM...last year I really wanted to drive through Roswell and we didn't have time so this year we definitely made a stop by this very interesting town!

Aliens everywhere!

We decided to have a fun day yesterday to ease back into the swing of things so what else did we do than go wine tasting!

We tried out Beckmen for the first time and their Syrah's did not disappoint!!

Mike and I are gearing up for our journey back to California and we've had such a great time just relaxing and hanging out with family and friends and opening presents :)



But, it's even better to watch these guys open presents...
