One of my brides ordered a gallery wrap from me and I wanted to share with you how awesome it looks! I am really happy with the new professional lab I am using for these. This particular one is a 16×20. (The yellow and white is my bedspread)

The quarter is to show you the thickness!

It comes ready to hang…just add the nail and the wall!

My first Christmas with the Selenak family I’ll have one more before I officially become a Selenak myself!

Tim and his nephew:
My contribution was the chocolate rice krispie treats in the front:
Jacie (Tim’s neice) opening her American Girl doll. She named her Abby.
Jacie, Melissa (Tim’s sister) and Abby:
I hope you all had a wonderful day and spent time with your family or friends! 2007 is almost over, which I am thankful for. Business-wise it was a fantastic year. On a personal level, I went through a lot of heartbreak with the loss of a family member and an old friend. I have a lot of positive feelings and hopes for 2008!

XOXO,

My future sister in law, Melissa, (see I told you I would give you a shout out!) gave us free tickets to Sea World. We used them last Friday after Tim got off work.

I have always loved experimenting with my photography, and this was the perfect oppurtunity to play around with some night shots! I purposefully left my flash at home and I really put my 5D to the test.

I’ve never actually been up this thing at Sea World and when we went to go up it, they shut it down!
We spent a long time just watching the Orcas before the big show
I thought this was sweet, Tim scribbled Love You to me in this glass. He did not draw the Shamu though. haha

Us!
Merry Christmas!!!!

A few Saturday’s ago, Tim and I headed to Jen and Bill’s new home in Santee to help celebrate their son, Will’s 2nd birthday. After the party, we did a short Christmas Card session, but Will was way too warn out to take photos!

Regardless, I got some great images of him playing with his friends:

His new car!
He was so good at sharing all his toys with his buddies!

Jen had kid-friendly food only!
Finger painting!!

What a little artist!
Jen and Will:
So excited for his cupcake!

The Christmas card photo:

Thanks Jen and Bill for welcoming us in to your home!

XOXO,

A few weeks ago, after a shoot at Balboa Park, Tim and I decided to use our free passes to check out the San Diego Zoo! I haven’t been to many zoos in my life, but SD Zoo is hands down the best one in the world!

We brought both the cameras with us and had a blast photographing all afternoon!

I normally refuse to go in to the reptile section. But I’m glad Tim dragged me kicking and screaming. It was neat! And gross.

(photo by me):
This was probably the coolest thing I saw all day! This snake was shedding. That is his skin peeling off under his head! He was that really dark color before, and the pretty brown/gold color after! (photo by me)
Tim on the skyfari!
I love the Pandas! (photo by me)
For Photography sake, I wish the fence wasnt there. But for my safety, I’m glad it was! (next 2 photos by me)

We watched this guy for a long time!

I think I will be starting a tradition to go visit my grandmother’s name on the wall to honor her memory. This goes for the Wild Animal Park too.

XOXO,
