Love my new lens!

So inquiring minds wanted to see some shots with my new 50mm 1.4!

Since I don’t have children, you get to see my closest thing to it…my baby Makeda. She turns 13 years old this year. I’ve had her since high school.


Been super busy lately! Hope everyone is enjoying their New Year!
XOXO,
M

Catching Up!
Its been a lazy week! I am finally feeling better today, 6 days post surgery. I was told my recovery would be quick, but it lasted a little longer than I had planned. But I guess thats not something you really plan…is it?

Thanks to Tim’s camera phone, he got this just minutes before wheeling me in to the operating room. Lovely, I know.

My parents live in a different country, so they didn’t take the long trip. (It’s cool, you can make it up to me next time I have major surgery, Mom. just joking) Of course Jen and her boys came in their absence.

I do have a nice size extended family in the area. My sister “from another mister” Beza came Monday night to check on me. She brought this beautiful bouquet (I love the colors!):

And on Tuesday, my gracious Aunt Rhonda called ahead and found out that I was having horrible bouts of nausea. She brought 7Up, saltine crackers (my life-saver!), a balloon and these beautiful tulips:

And for a little pick-me-up:

When the oppurtunity came from a photo buddy, Daniel Balboa to buy his old 50mm 1.4, I took it! Lucky for me, Daniel was upgrading to the 1.2.

Thank you to everyone who expressed your concern during my sick time off. I plan to be back in full swing after resting this weekend.

XOXO,

M

Robert and Theresa are Engaged!

Theresa found my business card at It’s A Grind coffee shop in San Marcos! Marketing of all kinds is alive and well! They hired me to shoot their engagement session.

I met this adorable couple at La Jolla Cove this past Sunday. We made sure to meet early enough to not miss the big game! The Charger pride was out, loud and proud that day!

These two are getting married on May 17, 2008 in Dana Point. Theresa is going to make an amazing bride!










Had to throw this last shot in here…another great one from Tim! I love the negative space on this one.
