Tried and True : An Engagement Love Story

 

The temperature dropped about ten degrees. The wind blew gently over the lake. The crowds on this holiday weekend were beautifully non existent, and this beautiful peace filled couple, made for a truly awesome time as we meandered around in our fair city of Lancaster, CA.

Of all that happened to create what turned out to be a pretty perfect engagement session, the laughter shared by all during their Intimacy Portraits was my favorite.

May you continually be a source of joy one for another. May love be the first rule in your home. May laughing out loud be a daily event for your family.

Enjoy. You have been teased.

Shift and Shake Your Dreams : A Life Conference

 

The halls of El Camino College’s Performing Arts Center, hosted Life Coach A.T. and the Dream Team’s Shift & Shake Conference. Those in attendance were motivated and challenged, to evaluate their lives, to walk boldly in their dreams, and to dream again. Courses on overcoming obstacles, financial planning, debt management, networking, along with practical exercises on pitching your dreams, confidence builders, and goal setting, filled this two day conference. We count it an honor to have been in attendance.

If you are in the Atlanta area, we highly recommend you check out their next conference. You will not be disappointed.

It’s ALMOST Her Birthday! : A Teaser Story

 

Ok so I have been very good but I can wait no longer. “It’s only two more days” you say. I know I know but I am going to do this any way! So here is Miss. Yo. One of my 3 sisters who will be celebrating her birthday in two more days!

She is always a challenge, but secretly I look forward to her yearly birthday portraits. Each year HAS to be better than or at least different than the last, and this year was fun. It started out as a 20’s themed portrait session

And kind of ended up with fire and brimstone?!

With some 80’s, and flower power in between.

Then she channeled her “Inner Beckett” for her “Castle” fan sister. (Amongst my favorite!)

Then getting ready for the beach we never intended to go to. And Yup, always doing something special in the middle of my session!

Strangely enough, in this image she sort of looks like me! I had to do a double take. I must say I never really saw a resemblance…

But this one is all her.

Happy EARLY birthday sister. May God give you the desires of your heart. You have been teased!
