Sarah's Girl Scout Graduation at Alice Keck Park

My niece, Sarah had her Girl Scout graduation this past weekend at Alice Keck Park in Santa Barbara. I didn't realize how large of an organization the Girl Scouts was until this weekend. Since Sarah has lived in Europe for the past 4 years, she's participated in the Girl Scouts over seas so she has some badges that the other girls don't have.

When they graduate, they call it bridging so they all walked over the bride at the park to signify their accomplishments! I had to look all of this up online! haha

They all sang their songs and when Sarah walked across the bridge, she had to recite the Girl Scout Promise and Law. She's such a rockstar, I was so proud of her.

Jordan was a little rockstar too. Here he is, the little brother at his sisters Girl Scout Ceremony surrounded by what else.... girls! haha He kept himself busy with his scooter doing jumps the whole time!

Here are some pics.

Holiday Portraits for Abigail in Santa Barbara

It's holiday season and it's time for portraits! Little Abigail is growing up so fast! Here are a few favs from todays shoot.

Alegria by Design Holiday Party!

I had the privilege of attending a Holiday party put together by Armando Martinez, the man behind Alegria by Design. The Santa Barbara Club was all decked out and the place looked pretty amazing! The lighting, the rooms, the food, the mock ceremony setup by Wesflora Inc.... all awesome. Scott Topper was the DJ for the night and kept everyone partying.

I had a ton of fun and met some really great people. Here are some pictures from the night with Dia, Katie and Nick, Armando bustin a move, and Melissa Musgrove who's probably going to kill me for blogging a picture of her dancing! haha

It's all about how you advertise something, right?

Ok, so my brother had a garage sale this past weekend and this is one of the signs he put up down the street! Even though he's a genius when it comes to marketing, I say he put this sign up the way he did because he's super goofy!

Anyway... so many people commented on how they just couldn't miss the sign as they were driving by and how it was so great! Everyone's first thought was "OMG! I wonder what happened to that car?". He explained that the excessive use of tape was due to it being so windy..... ummmmmmm sure!

Thanksgiving with family and friends

Thanksgiving was spent this year with my brother and his family at my parents house in Henderson, NV. It's always good times when we all get together. We ate too much, laughed too much, didn't sleep enough and left way too early.

We also had some visitors from North Carolina come and have dinner with us one night. My good friends Jeff, Lori, his dad Larry and Anne were in town and it was so great to see them.

I have so many things to be thankful for and one of the biggest things are the people in my life, family and friends.


This one is for Jeff's mom... See! Jeff actually got up from dinner and started doing dishes!

Houdini Mansion Wedding - Spooky Dan and Tammy

I have the honor of shooting with Karen and Craig for probably the most unique wedding I've seen yet. This is going to be such a fun wedding and the bride and groom are so awesome! Spooky Dan and Tammy are the sweetest couple from North Hollywood and they're getting married at the Houdini Mansion in Los Angeles.

We were in North Hollywood this past weekend to meet with them and to shoot some engagement photos. The details of this Goth wedding are amazing and so is the setting in which it will be held but I won't go into the details right now so you'll just have to wait and see on their wedding blog post!

Check out the wicked awesome tattoo on Tammy's leg in the last picture!

Here are some of my favs!
