My wonderful mother turns 65 today!  Can you believe that?  Of course she doesn’t look a day over 32 😉

My mom had blogged her past trips around the world and came across an old slide of her and a koala in Australia in the 1970’s.  Just for fun, I pulled out the photo of me and a koala from last year.

Isn’t the similarity in the photos creepy???  I’m still in shock.

And just for fun, here is a shot of me and my mom earlier this year.  I kinda look like a hot mess but its the most recent one I have!

I’m a very lucky daughter, I really hit the parent lottery with a mom like you. You are my best friend, my fellow margarita drinker and always there when I need you.

Love you mom!  Even when you correct my grammar!

A few weeks back I met up with the gentlemen of Bird & Co Event Management.  These two are awesome! They cover everything from corporate events to weddings.  They make a perfect team with their blend of business sense and creativity!

Check them out for your next event!

I’ve known Cristina for awhile through Facebook, she has been a fan of my work for awhile.  What’s even cooler is that both she and Carlos are photographers, which makes me extra nervous during a shoot!  These two were so natural in front of the camera, even though they are used to being behind!

Oh and Cristina and I share a hairdresser too – Audra Rene!  Audra worked her magic for this shoot as well!

These two have a really cute story about how they met!  Carlos needed a model to practice his photography and got in touch with Cristina.  They met in person for the first time at this fountain in Balboa Park!  Awwwww

They did this move with no prodding from me!  Awesome! 🙂

Unfortunately I am out of town for their wedding, by my trusty sidekick, Mandi will be photographing it next month!!

Can’t wait to see the photos!

Jean and Ryan were married at the San Diego Hall of Champions in Balboa Park in July.  Mandi and Michele spent the day with the fun couple!

My trip has been pretty amazing so far!  I’ve seen most of New England now and can’t begin to pick a favorite part!  I’m spending the day wandering around some small towns in Cape Cod before heading back to Boston tomorrow to catch my flight home.
