2014 is already off and running..

i had a sneaking feeling this was going to be a good year.. i am just feeling it.. positive, blessed, greatful and sort of just.. calm..

it's good. real. good.

 i have some great projects on the horizon, a couple tweaks coming to my branding and some fabulous brides i am ready to rock and roll with!! 

today.. i shot an editorial for san diego exquisite weddings magazine..

i of course can not share any detailed photos but on the ol' social media train.... there were some fun sneak peeks of me in action.. stay tuned guys.

april's issue is going to be rad.

last night.

this gorgeous girl. the one who made me a mom. she has taught me so much. so much about love and life.

last night as i checked on her before i went to bed she stirred as i lifted her blanket over her shoulders as i do every night.. i gave her a kiss on the forehead and while half asleep she said,

 "mom, i want to snuggle".. so i climbed in bed with her to snuggle.. 

she whispers " i love you mom"..  

i just wanted to record that.. i want to remember it forever.

it was so special.. SO incredibly special.

christmas morning photo.

after many stories written about puppies, conversations about when "i am 18, i will buy a puppy", after the hints about how much we would "LOVE" a puppy.. 

we decided to give in.. 

we surprised the girls with a puppy for christmas. well.. it was actually a box of dog bones because our little guy {or girl} isn't born yet..

but the girls were over the moon..

and. i captured it. 

this is my favorite photo ever.

their little faces on christmas morning.

it was amazing.

i never want this magic to end.
