My Unmade Bed and Homemade Food

So today I was standing in the middle of my tornado stricken room and I was hit with a thought. Oh! I promised myself I was going to blog every day! I knew I'd forget... Needless to say I hopped right onto my bed, which is a feat since by bed comes up to my waist in this little room, and pulled my computer right out. Its one of those funny afternoons. The sun can't decided if it wants to come out from under the clouds or not and my roommate, Lauren, is listening to Frank Sinatra and I'm half buried in my unmade bed, which by the way I am only semi embarrassed about. I probably should make my bed every morning, I am engaged to be married after all. Christian ignore the last few statements please. I promise to try and make the bed every morning, maybe.

Anyhow, tonight our good friend Eric is coming out to the school to see us. We may go to Denny's after because we're college kids. Which means we are always broke and always hungry. Hint to any mother or even semi domestic woman out there: we will ALWAYS accept homemade food and be incredibly thankful for it. We both miss home a lot. Not just families and friends but having a real home with a kitchen and a closet. We get to come home this weekend. Thank goodness. Have a lovely weekend and be thankful for your home!

Late Year's Resolution

Alright so its October and, believe it or not, New Years is really only around the corner. However, I am feeling the need to make a resolution. Down here at school its been a little difficult to be doing as many photo sessions as I would like. Between classes, studying and wedding planning I hardly have time left. I keep telling myself to just make it to January because then I can create a brand and take a photography class and market and actually shoot! But yesterday I realized I need to pick myself up off my seat and do something! That something is blogging. I don't want to be one of those photographers that is known by my images only. I want my wonderful clients to feel like they really know me. So Late Year's Resolution #1 blog as nearly to daily as possible. The season is a little slow right now but there are some fantastic shoots coming up that I am really excited for and that leaves plenty of time for you to get to know me. Late Year's Resolution #2 make it to January alive. Late Year's Resolution #3 keep working on my New Years Resolutions, most of which are not nearly completed.

I thought it would be nice to share a few pictures with you of Christian and I. This was the day he proposed. If you know me at all you've seen these a hundred times. Because I like to show them off!

Happy Weekend.

Santa Clarita

Alright everyone, as some of you know, I have been living in Santa Clarita for the last two months attending school. Since this beautiful city will soon (come July 15th) be my new permanent home, I figured it was time to do some location searching for photo sessions out here. And oh boy, am I excited! I found a plethora of spots. Some are pretty, some urban, some rustic, some full of tall grass and flowers, some with white picket fences. The list could continue for a very long time. So I guess what I am trying to say is this place is beautiful and you should all consider visiting. I still go home every now and again and will be back in January for a few months, but if you are looking for a place to take Christmas card photos, engagement pictures, or anything else, you know where to find me! And I know where to find some pretty fantastic spots to photograph you in.

Have a happy Saturday!

Family: Villalobos Family

What a joy this little family is! I loved getting to watch them and all their love for each other through my lens. Little Rebekah is such a silly and happy toddler and boy, did she love being in front of the camera. She would walk any distance to get to it so she could inspect it and peer into the glass. I had many a shot of one squinty eye because she was so close! For her first birthday, we brought out a birthday cake and let her have at it. It was a crack up to watch the progress of that endeavor! She was so fun and Christina and Jason are so in love with each other. I thought it was adorable to watch them watching her, standing arm in arm. They seem so content with their little family. You three were a joy to work with. Have fun raising that adorable daughter of yours!
