August 2007 Archive

I have been tagged by fellow photographer friends Tiffany Harrison and Dawn Malone. I figured what the heck, even Jasmine Star did one of these! 🙂

I am supposed to write about 8 things that make me unique, so here goes!

1. My favorite condiment for hamburgers is Peanut Butter. My family has been doing this since I was a child, so it is totally normal to me. Apparantly, nobody else thinks so!

2. I joined a sorority in college because growing up I wanted to be just like my godsister Michele. This is also the reason I played soccer through college.

3. I don’t know my multiplication tables (other than the easy 1’s and 0’s). My friends love to bring this up in public by throwing random 8×12’s equal and 4×9’s equal at me and laughing at my wrong answers.

4. I am addicted to watching shows on weddings. I can’t get enough, I love my job!

5. I have lived on both coasts of the US as well as the Midwest.

6. I partied with Vanilla Ice a few years back. Its a funny story, we shared a bottle of Redrum.

7. I have really cute feet. I actually looked in to becoming a foot model at one point in time.

8. I love becoming friends with my clients. It happens quite a bit too! I also am huge in to networking with other photographers, its one of my favorite things to do!

Okay, now I get to tag other photographers!

Kika and Jeff were married July 28th, 2007 at the Bali Hai Restaurant in San Diego. These two are so in love and it shows in how they look at each other. Kika’s family flew up from Brazil for the big day!

Thank you two so much for the great day that Michele and I got to spend with you. You are such a beautiful couple, here’s to many years of happiness!

Scroll all the way down for your awesome slideshow!

This is the extremely popular photo guest signing book that I make for most of my clients. It includes photos of your Engagement session and is always a hit with your guests!Kika’s mom made these yummy Brazilian candies!
They did their grand entrance on this boat! How cool!

I’m almost embarrased to admit how far behind on blogging I am! But I am making an effort now to catch up after my week away in Oregon.

Success!

The church was located in Escondido…love it when the wedding is just down the road!


I love this stolen moment of the two:

The bride surprised her husband by seranading him to Michael Buble’s Everything. She had a great voice!

Both the bride and groom are very religious, so I love this moment during the dinner prayer.

I highly suggest a shoe change for the reception! How cute! The groomsmen doing their job!

Me and Michele:So I saved this image for last…this is Karina’s 90 something grandmother. She left a bit early but not before getting down on the dance floor. Right here, and I swear I am not making this up, she is showing Karina how to “Lean like a Cholo”. I just had to share that with you!

Sounds like a book title doesn’t it? I got to spend my day with a sorority sister that I haven’t seen in about 6 years! We reconnected again on Myspace and when I learned that she had moved from the Midwest to Portland, I knew it wouldn’t be long before we got to see each other again!

She met my parents and myself at Daro’s kitchen. Its a new Ethiopian restaurant that we hadn’t tried yet. (btw, service was a little shoddy, but the food was great!)

After, Amanda took me to the Rose Garden to walk around.

The beautiful Amanda:
Aren’t these great clouds?
The view of Portland!

I moved. Yes again. This time to San Marcos to a beautiful 4 bedroom house with 3 other females. We have 2 fireplaces, a gorgeous kitchen and vaulted ceilings. We are actually still looking for another roommate so if anyone is interested?

My messy room! I’m still waiting for someone to put together my cool bed! 🙂A self portrait 🙂
