Since moving to Southern California four years ago, I’m afraid I haven’t seen much outside of Los Angeles.  San Diego and Santa Barbara a few times… but I’ve been DYING to go to Palm Springs.  There never really seems to be an opportunity to pop over for a weekend though!  So, when Brittany decided [...]

  I love fashion.  And I love pouring through fashion magazines.  Staring at the beautiful photographs.  The enormous stacks of magazines in our house drive Chris INSANE and he often "cleans" by scooping them all up and throwing them in the closet in my office.  I must admit, I’m a bit behind on my magazine [...]

  Katie might potentially be my most favorite boudoir client EVER! She’s one of my brides, getting married in October.  She’s adorable and we had such a good time at our initial meeting.  She and her fiancee didn’t need an engagement session, so I was sad not to see her after our first consultation.  But [...]

So, I’m fairly easily excited.  I get excited by lots of things.  Well, really everything.  Chris must thing I’m insane.  Sometimes I come bolting out of my office, jumping up and down and grinning in a ridiculous manner.  When I got Michelle’s email i did just that.  She wanted to drive up from San Diego [...]

  I had the most amazingly wonderful opportunity to meet Dana at a huge Trash The Dress session at March Air Reserve Base.  I was immediately drawn to them.  Her bright red hair and his awesome ‘fro.  And then were willing to do absolutely everything I asked.  We had a blast and I’ve been super [...]

  I’m a huge fan of people.  All kinds of people.  I can talk to anyone, anywhere and about anything.  That makes working at home all by myself a bit of a challenge.  I often feel bad for Chris when he comes home after a long day and I’m just excited to see another human [...]

I was super nervous for this shoot.  Kadidja is a self-proclaimed perfectionst and she wanted everything to be absolutely perfect.  And she was coming in from out of town, so we had a small window of shooting time.  And it was supposed to rain.  While I was prepared with my umbrellas and galoshes and Saran [...]

  Lucia is a newlywed!  Well, she’s getting ready to celebrate her first anniversary.  (How long do we get to be newlyweds?) Lucia is Lydia’s sister. And for reals, sexy model genes run in this family!  Lucia had the same freedom in front of my camera that Lydia did.  She moved so smoothly and elegantly [...]

Lydia and her sister emailed me a while back.  Lucia, her sister, was going to come down from NorCal and they wanted to shoot boudoir sessions for their husbands.  Lydia is getting ready to celebrate her fifth wedding anniversary!  AND she just had a baby.  For serious, if I can have a body that resembles [...]

It’s raining in SoCal.  All the time.  And when it’s not raining, it’s just plain cold.  Stupid cold.  I’m rescheduling shoots left and right and am getting cabin fever!  This shoot was nearly rained out too, but we decided to preserve and see what might happen.  I prepared for rain, thinking that it would at [...]
