I could not wait to get home and check out this custom-designed coffee table book.  It is a combination of Kevin & Angela’s engagement and wedding photos I shot. I am posting all the layouts so her family from afar can see too. 

I love this vendor.  Super quick turnaround. Beautiful book.  I know Angela cannot wait for me to deliver it to her this week.

Last week my husband and I enjoyed the beautiful weather of Manhattan Beach, down for five days. Today, I am home. It is HOT.  114 degrees hot! I really like the constant 74 degrees in MB. I did have some work to do while down there, but all in all it was relaxing.  Also had the chance to meet up some some photographers and do lunch, sit and gab while enjoying the weather.

While down there I did a quick session for friends of ours.  Just one for now. More to come tomorrow.

On Thursday when we went out on Nacimiento Lake, I brought along the camera in case we came upon any Bald Eagles. We did, a young one (no white head) but he was far down The Narrows. :-\ Next time maybe.

I am so happy summer is starting, although, today it’s cool and breezy again. Just one from our day.

Summer heat hit yesterday, wow.   June 22 through June 26 I will have limited phone contact, as I will be down in Manhattan Beach, visiting family, meeting up with some photographers for an afternoon, and doing a couple of sessions while I am down there.  Email is the best way to get in touch with me.   Thank you to all of you who have scheduled early.  I am booking up quickly and August is quite full already.   I am not taking any family sessions until late September.

and just to share my fur girl.  She has the prettiest eyes.

This starts the kick-off to “senior season.”  I was excited to kick it off.  The location I had picked i knew had a lot of  variety in two blocks.  Of course, guys are the easier sessions and are usually pretty quick.  I loved that Ryan brought along his dirt bike and we utilized his car too and his girfriend jumped in at the end.

Finally getting around to blogging about this fun 1 year cake smash session.  Little Miss A was very delicate in her exploring of the cake.  She managed to have plenty of fun and eat lots.

Now that C & C’s wedding is over, I can finally share their guest book here that I designed for them.
