I am sooo excited....since you probably don't know, it is about 2AM PST and I am up writing this blog post, along with laundry, packing and consoling Bear, because I am off to Napa for the first half of the week and San Francisco/San Jose the second half of the week!!! I am jetting off to the NAPCP (National Association of Professional Child Photographer) retreat in Napa Valley (!!!) and I couldn't be anymore excited!!! Tamara Lackey and Dane Sanders are speaking and I can't wait to hang out with all my favorite photographer friends!
Email is the best way to contact me through Tuesday, June 29....
Bear is really upset...I broke the news this morning and he staged a boycott by sitting in my suitcase...and then he broke it. C'mon, the suitcase never had a chance against his 80lb body!!!!
Have a great weekend!

This past Wednesday, I made the beautiful, winding mountain drive into Ojai (where Reese Witherspoon lives! :) ) and joined a fantastic group of people for the ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants) Santa Barbara meet up.
Ariel Yve of Ariel Yve Design hosted our shindig at Papa Lennons (I had the best Chicken Caesar wrap, ever! I am contemplating driving back today for lunch!) and Jodi Womack of Womack Company and No More Nylons spoke about networking and marketing.
It was a great meeting, I met lots of new amazing vendors in our area and I highly suggest others to come visit!
The inside of Papa Lennon's....super cute!
I just love Heidi's card from Zenadia Design!
Jodi, our speaker!
Cute details..
Happy Friday!

I LOVE the last picture, of the white bud vases. (Milkglass?) The pink and yellow flowers would be perfect for M's birthday party. :)

Thanks for blogging this Whitney! I may borrow a few shots for the group's FB page as well as my own blog.
Heidi, I purchased the milk glass vases pictured above from Ikea. I believe that they still have them. They come in a variety of different sizes and are reasonably priced.
Anyway Whitney, if you're ever in town or in the mood for another Chicken Caesar Wrap, let me know. I'd be happy to meet up with you for lunch anytime : )

I must state for the record: I just love UPS guys. If you follow along on my blog, you may recall a candid account of my interaction with the UPS guys...you know, the kind of conversation that sends them running towards the safety of their brown truck :) I usually receive a steady, consistent stream of boxed client orders and ahem, sometimes, things that I have ordered online for myself, but this week I am coming home from daily walks around the block with Bear and finding anywhere between 4-10 boxes, a day. My dear friend, Alice, the founder of the amazing professional child photographer association NAPCP has been shipping goodies to my door for next weeks retreat.
But I digress. I love our UPS guy because last evening after he happily jaunted to our door and gingerly set down all the packages, Bear went ballistic...I mean, yeah, Bear usually barks at the mailman and the FedEx guy and the UPS guy but this barking was just crazy...I opened the door and found he had left a doggie treat for Bear on top of a large pile of boxes...seriously, it made my day. I thought I was going to cry. What is my deal? The fact that the UPS guy cares about me so much? And my dog?! Well, maybe! :) I ran outside and caught him before he jumped into his truck and profusely thanked him...I'm pretty sure the entire neighborhood heard me...
Anyway, this week for the Resource Room, I wanted to share the beautiful blog of a recent acquaintance from an Association of Bridal Consultants event in Malibu a few months ago. The Sterling Engagements blog has so many different weddings featured and an entire section of the blog devoted to not only inspiration, but also advice for brides! Go check it out! :)
Happy Thursday!

Two years ago today Mike and I stood on the shore of Bald Head Island, wiggled our toes in the warm sand and said "I do." If you were there, then you know I was totally sobbing my head off because I couldn't believe how lucky I was. I don't believe in luck per se, I am more of a "make things happen" kind of girl...but whatever it was that brought us together: fate, luck, God or because we made it happen, I am so grateful.
Mike, thank you for making these past two years the best years of my life...so far :) Thank you for being my best friend, my confidant, my biggest fan, and the most positive influence in my life...i.love.you!!

I love holiday weeks...you know, where you get an extra day off and then you sort of let it take over the week and before you know, the week is almost over! Oh wait, am I the only who does that?! :)
This week for the Resource Room I am sharing none other than the Destination I Do blog! It's a fun blog to get lots of great ideas because these are weddings that are documented from all over the world...just a quick glance over will give any reader a glimpse into all kinds of weddings: traditional, modern flair, vintage, etc. Enjoy!
