Yes, I have been slacking on the blog...but for a good reason: tons of shooting, fulfilling orders and traveling but I did manage to sneak in a really fun trip to one of my favorite cities to hang out with my favorite friends!
These girls are my biggest cheerleaders and motivators, plus they're just tons of fun to hang out with :)
Can't go to NYC in December without visiting the Rockefeller Tree...
And NYC is a great place to just walk around and play...and hold random photo shoots of each other...
Miss y'all already!
now back to regularly scheduled blog programming!

If you didn't read my post from yesterday, I just had my wisdom teeth out this morning and I just wanted to tell everyone who has sent me flowers, care packages, cards, emails and texts...THANK YOU---you're all brightening my day so much...geez, now I'm getting teary eyed!
Seriously, I'm such a lucky gal and I have so many things to be thankful for and I appreciate everyone taking time out of their day to check in on me...I feel so loved :)

Hope your recovery goes smoothly! I'll say a prayer for you!

Happy Early Thanksgiving!!
I want to ask each and every one of you to eat tons of GUILT free turkey or tofurkey this week because I will not be eating any at all...no, I'm not boycotting Thanksgiving and no, I'm not quite a vegetarian yet but pretty close to it, but I am having my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow morning! As of Wednesday at 8:30am PST I will be sporting 3 fewer teeth, so say a few prayers that I won't spaz out at the doctors office (which I, um, kinda have already) and be sure to eat PLENTY of turkey and stuffing for me (oh and maybe a glass of wine)!!!
My awesome family sent me a little care package...there was also a gigantic candy bar in there but I already consumed it, yup you guessed it, guilt free :)
Mike and I have tons of calendars synced with our schedules...on our email, our phones...but every month I still make a cheesy, homemade calendar (with markers!) so we can see what all is going on---which lately has been a lot:
Don't you just loooveee my illustrations?
I hope everyone has a happy and safe weekend with family and friends and enjoy time off from work :)
*Thank you for being understanding if it takes me a few days to get back to your emails*

Oh...that's just cruel! You're getting your wisdom teeth pulled the day before Thanksgiving? You poor girl! I hope that everything goes well and that you have a speedy painless recovery. Have a happy turkey (free) day.

Hi everyone! I haven't been blogging for a few days because my parents were in town visiting! Sadly, Mike and I dropped them off at the airport yesterday morning at dark o'thirty, but I'm sorting through our pictures from the fun weekend and I'll be in Charlotte next weekend for mini sessions so it won't be long til I see them again :)
As I am viewing our images from our quick trip to Monterey and Pebble Beach, I realized that this past weekend was my fifth time up there in the past 2 months...can we say I'm a bit obsessed with Monterey!?
After my parents flew in on Wednesday I showed them all the awesome spots of Santa Barbara on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday and then we ate a delicious dinner at Trattoria Grappolo in Santa Ynez. After that we took off for Monterey, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach and Carmel. Friday was spent checking out the sites and drooling over the Pebble Beach links :) On Saturday we hit up our favorite wineries on Foxen Canyon Trail, like Riverbench, Foxen and Demetria and then we finished that day off with a bite to eat at Cold Springs Tavern--so basically Mike and I had a mini vacation and now it's back to reality!
Mike's go-go-gadget arms always come in handy for group pictures :)
There are tons of seals near our house and in Monterey (which is where this image was taken) and I finally was able to show my mom...
More seals!
Before anyone assumes that I did this (too bad I can't take credit for it, but if you know me at all, then you know my pumpkin carving skills are pretty lame!) we found this in the Pebble Beach Pro Shop...
The famous 18th green:
SOOO glad y'all came out Mom and Dad! See you next weekend :)
Heidi says:
So fun! I know mom and dad had a wonderful time and enjoyed seeing you and Mike. See you this weekend!

My parents are en route to Santa Barbara as I type this and I am so excited! It will be my dad's first time out here and my mom's second time...but last time she saw this place it was quite the disaster zone!
Blogging may be limited over the next few days as I enjoy hanging out with my parents and take them around.
Here are a few cute images of Bear from the other day...he was not at all interested in posing with our pumpkins....
Letting out a great big yawn to let me know how much he doesn't care...
and the cute pumpkins :)
Happy Hump day!
