It’s the end of the year, and the end of our portrait sessions until 2013! And what a fun family to be our last/first. May you always protect each other, extend tenderness one to another, and bask in the joy God has prepared for you. May you prosper in all you set yourself to accomplish, celebrating everyday as the “PRESENT” it is.
Laugh often! Enjoy every day, and each memory! Make it Beautiful!
Far too often, I neglect relationships with friends and family in lieu of work. But lets face it, work will be with me always, and I have finally come to understand that. So today, yep at the end of the year, I set aside my work, and took a trip to Oxnard for “Holiday Sweet Treats Fellowship - The Amazing Race” LOVWC Style!
It was ladies vs. gentlemen, and when I tell you the competition was hot… well lets just say that when we arrived, the guys were flying out the door, and the ladies weren't far behind. I politely side stepped the fray, and whipped out my camera!
My Fav joined in just in time to stack and consume some um interesting? flavored animal type cookies! HAhahahahA their faces!
In the end, the ladies emerged the victors!
Well at a place called Victory, everyone wins, the ladies just won more.
And then…. this happened!
See I told you guys to keep inviting me! oh and click below for all the images!

What are you WAITING for?!
Occasionally I have the great honor of capturing an event that is more pleasure than work. The celebration for this young lady is such an event.
Her mother, a woman I greatly admire, was the principal where I taught my first and last class lol, (yes I was a teacher in another life time). I will always love her for that. Her father is and has long been one of my photo heroes. And Dr. A.H. herself has become the awesome young lady I always thought she would be, an inspiration to many, an encouragement to all who would discipline themselves to pursue their goals in all situations, until victory is obtained. I was honored to be able to document this very proud moment for an amazing family. Photographically thrilled and totally proud!
So here’s to an extraordinarily vibrant young lady, and an awesome accomplishment! Dr. A.H. may you have your cake with the icing and enjoy the eating!
Ok so it’s almost Christmas, and the Hallmark Channel has at least one dedicated viewer. Yep my sister, who found a Christmas tree farm where she can, like on the Hallmark Channel, chop her own Christmas Tree. So off we went.
And somebody gave this girl a saw…
then sent her on her way. I heard chuckles as we wandered for the first time around this huge lot of pine trees looking, well, like this! LOL!
Very small and lost! With our perspective a bit skewed, oohing and ahhing over the gorgeously huge trees. My Fav had to step in as our measuring system to keep us on track. And while our eyes were telling us one thing, we wisely ,(sort of) deferred to his judgment to make the final choice.
Then she went to chopping. It was after all her Hallmark experience, and I must admit, I simply HAD to get footage of my sister, yep MY sister actually using a saw, and cutting down a tree!
Here, our tree hugger watches concerned as her tree was shaken then netted for travel
And the gentleman helping us was kind enough to clean up her cut
She did a great job! And so did My Fav with the measuring. Yes he was right and the tree was a hair too tall (which he told us) but fit snuggly in her home (which he also told us).
All in all it was a fun night! Go Sis! Go Hallmark!
