It's inevitable. Now whenever someone walks through the door or stops by for a visit, they get tackled by wet, slobbery kisses and giant bear hugs.
Sweet doggies of mine :)

It was only a year ago that a deadly and devastating earthquake struck Haiti in the the heart of Port-au-Prince, killing and injuring masses of people and leaving hundreds of thousands of people homeless, without food or water. I was very blessed to have the opportunity to travel to Haiti last April with New Reality International (please go check out their website if you are interested in volunteering or donating in any way!!). Several of the friends I made in Haiti have the same news to tell as they did 6, 9, and 12 months...no change. People are still living in tent cities and struggling to find food or water. There are several ways you can help...donating a tent, donating money securing through NRI or by sponsoring a child for a small amount each year so that they may receive an education and help the future of Haiti...

So unbelievable that your photo above, today represents the same heartbreak that the Haitians suffered one year ago. Thank you for again helping to spread the word about their great need. I will be counting my blessings extra closely tonight........

I recently had the opportunity to photograph a fun party hosted by fabulous Santa Barbara wedding coordinator Donna Romani Events in honor of her employees at gorgeous San Ysidro Ranch (images from the shoot coming soon!!). Santa Barbara Wedding Style blog so graciously shared the images and Donna's awesome decor ideas...

He walked into the room holding a book. I was immediately drawn to the bright green color and the fact that there was a hole in the top right hand corner of the book (yes, yes, I work like a child sometimes).
"What's that about," I asked. "Why don't you read it and find out," he said.
Most people yawn when hearing someone talk about golf. Most people leave the room when a golf tournament is on TV. My dad is an avid golfer and always has been. My sisters and I can attest that my parents TV has probably logged more hours on the Golf Channel than anyone else I know. Therefore, it does not bother me. In fact, I like watching and playing (most times, unsuccessfully) golf.
Growing up, my dad used to take me to the driving range and unless you've actually stepped foot on a golf course then you can't complain about golf..."Oh, it's so slow.," "All they do is swing and hit a ball." Ha. Try putting my friend :)
There is something peaceful and graceful about a golf course. In college, I used to work as a beverage cart girl at a few local golf courses and it was probably one of my favorite part time college summer jobs...it was great to work outside every day but it was also so relaxing to cruise around a quiet golf course listening to the sound of chirping birds and the occasional "whaaack" of a club face striking the ball.
I started reading this book and figured it would be all technical. You know, "new ways" to grip the club, "try this stance and hit like Tiger," but it turned out to be more spiritual and about the major mental aspect of the game. The book discusses how we overthink and overanalyze the game but I realized how you can match this discussion to anything in life...work, personal life, etc. The book can be a little cheesy at times but I found the simple reminders to be helpful: keep faith and stick to whatever method works best for you and to not rethink it when the next big fad comes out (which happens a lot in the photography industry).
Golf's Sacred Journey: Seven days at the links of Utopia by David L. Cook
Thanks for letting me borrow the book, Dad. Hopefully I'll be home again soon to return it in person.

So true. We have that book on our nightstand here...it's a good reminder. (As long as it's not piled under folded clothes, a Kleenex box, and a bottle of water, that is."

A sneak peek...just a tiny one.
A super sweet couple and a New Year's engagement session. As I was downloading and backing up the images today, this one caught my eye and I just had to share. More coming soon...!
