Super fun beach photos

After seeing some of Millie’s beach photos, the girls were excited to get out there and get a few of their own! We always have fun shooting at the beach, so we made it a date and crossed our fingers for good weather. On that day, the usual bright sun made things challenging…but it was [...]

The Oscars red carpet fashion roundup

On Sunday I watched the Oscars show AND without falling asleep once, yahoo! And I am reasonably glad I didn’t. The ladies in their fashionable attire and the I’d-hit-that! Gerard Butler kept me from dozing off. I didn’t have any major “wow” moments but I thought Tina Fey looked magnificent in her sexy Micheal Kors [...]

52nd Grammy Awards red carpet fashion

Yet another late fashion post but I love doing them so here it is! I watched the entire show hoping to hear some great performances but ended up feeling a bit frustrated. For one, Lady Gaga had soo many hits last year and yet we didn’t get to see her go on stage once with [...]

California winters are awesome

I grew up in the Midwest where winters were a major pain in the butt. We’re so spoiled over here in California (winter: 70 degrees! are you kidding me?). I just don’t appreciate the 3-4 months of snow like I use to when I was a little kid. Back then I couldn’t wait for a [...]

Happy Birthday Lori!

When I think about my childhood, I am happy because you were there with me. You were there and you helped me more than you know. One of many ways was… I remember it like a vague but pleasant dream, I would ask you to tell me bedtime stories to help me sleep and [...]

Baby Felicity photos

We recently had a baby portrait session with this super duper squishable little princess and I have to say taking photos of kids/babies can be a real challenge… what with the goofy smiles, tantrums, short attention spans, and bladder control issues -ok, I’m guilty of all that too but that’s beside the point- BUT, omg, [...]

Red carpet fashion at the 16th Annual SAG Awards

Yay, I finally got around to doing my SAG Awards fashion post! At the Golden Globes we saw a ton of sexy but lackluster black dresses so fortunately for this event they lightened up the mood -but not the color spectrum! There were lively shades of red and purple and everything in between. Bare [...]

Hong Kong Fashion Week: See the magic come alive!

I went to China (didn’t get to visit Hong Kong though) a few months ago and was )( close to having a dress custom made but went instead with 2 pairs of slacks (I hate being practical sometimes), a dress jacket, and a coat which I will absolutely despise til the day I die. Call [...]
