Happy Birthday to Amara, Coco Chanel & me! Needless to say, I’m convinced that all Leos are fierce, fabulous & rockin. I’m pretty biased, though! Happy Birthday to each & every one of my Leo friends!!!!

Hello, Seattle.

Seattle is a fun city & I was lucky enough to make a day trip up for Kelly & Chad’s engagements in May. While I was driving towards downtown for their engagement shoot, I turned on the radio & Owl City’s, “Hello, Seattle” was playing. So I did what I normally do when awesome songs play on the radio at the perfect time…I blasted the radio, rolled down the windows & sang at the top of my lungs. Call me crazy but it was fabulous.

I just realized that I haven’t posted any of my personal photographs from my trip! So here are just a few of my favorites…

Oakland.

I am going to be honest here. Like really honest. I think I live in one of the most under-rated cities in America. I have lived here for almost five years & there are so, sooooooo many things I love about living here. I love the fact that San Francisco is just a short drive away. I love that within 10 miles of our home, there are over 6,500 amazing restaurants (which really plays in my favor since I hate cooking), I love the people, the foggy mornings, the saxophone music by the BART stations, the Oakland A’s, Arizmendi pizza, Ici Ice Cream, the art, the Trader Joes just down the street from my house…everything! I am happy to say that “I Hella <3 Oakand.” And if you lived here, I think you’d hella <3 it too.

I had a fun little photo excursion to downtown Oakland with two of my favorite gal pals the other evening & we took some fun photographs. Downtown Oakland is filled with awesome  color, Art Deco Architecture & my favorite, favorite cathedral everrrrr, The Cathedral of Christ the Light. The architecture of the cathedral is literally mind-blowing. Seriously-someone please (pretty, pretty please) get married there & hire me as your photographer-I’d be in heaven! Enough rambling-here are my favorites from our quick little jaunt to downtown…

What things do you hella <3 about where you live? Spill the beans!


The Cathedral of Christ the Light is so amazing. The architecture blows my mind…

So Sweet…

Maybe it’s because she sees me working on photographs of brides. Maybe it’s the Disney movies she loves watching where everyone lives “Happily Ever After.” Maybe it’s because every Saturday I tell her I’m on my way to a wedding. Whatever it is, Hadley has recently been talking about getting married. It’s kind of funny. The other night I had bought an artichoke so she went & put on a pretty dress, picked up the artichoke & said, “Look at me! I’m getting married!” It was adorable.

Watch out-this girl knows how to work the camera.
