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've mentioned on my blog before how I'm apart of this awesome association called NAPCP-National Association of Professional Child Photographers...well, now, I want to give a quick shout-out because NAPCP just launched their brand new website/blog/community for parents and photographers! The new website is just beautiful and already has lots of great blog posts for parents...some of the upcoming topics will consist of recipes (who doesn't like new recipes?!) and finding a photographer that's right for your family, so go on over and check it out! You will also be seeing some blog posts from yours truly on home decor using photography as art and other tidbits :)
Happy Wednesday!

I've been under the weather the past week and I'm ready for my fever to turn into Spring Fever! Don't be fooled--we all know it will get cold one more time before it finally starts to warm up :) By the end of summer, I'm usually tired of hearing weed whackers and lawn mowers all day long, but I'm happy to hear them now because it signals warmer weather and long, sunny summer days! Oh yeah, AND baseball season! But that's another post.
This past weekend I joined my fellow Junior Leaguers for a big event that we put on and I showed up as the photographer! The new members put together an amazing community event called Kids in the Kitchen. It's purpose was to raise community awareness about obesity and there were several physical games and activities going on and there was a mini cooking class for the kids with a professional chef-the thought behind targeting children is that if we can get kids involved, maybe they will encourage their parents to cook more healthy meals and engage in outdoor family activities.
Look at her go! My clumsy self would probably pull a geriatric stunt and break a hip...
Extreme relay races!
What is this little girl holding, you ask? It was a slimy simulation of what 5 pounds of fat looks like in the body. I was really looking forward to having a greasy, gooey grilled cheese sandwich for lunch that day, but begrudgingly ate a salad after seeing this!
Learning culinary skills
Happy Monday!
