Traveling from Coast to Coast.
Last week I went to Boston to visit Mark for a few days. It was beautiful. We walking along the Freedom Trail, which takes you to some of the most historic areas in Boston. We saw Hahvahd(Harvard). What a great time! I also got to see my cousin that I haven't seen in years. I will post a pic in my next post.
Then, I hopped a flight to the Bay area for a family get together. So, I literally went from one coast of the US to the other. I had a great time in both places but I am so happy to be home!
Sorry it has taken so long to post. I finally edited some pictures from my trip.
There are a bunch.
Have a great week everyone!! :)

-I have been out of town for a while. I have lots of fun pictures from my trip that I have been editing today so stay tuned!

Yesterday I did an engagement session for Mark's younger brother and his fiance.
We had so much fun! I still have a bunch more photos to go through, but I thought I would put a few up.
Thank you guys for a great time! I can't wait to hang out with you again!
Shaun is probably going to not like that I am posting a picture of him with lipgloss on his lips, but I loved the shot and that's what you get for making out so much!
Love you guys!

Wow! It's been a long time since my last post!
Sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately. I thought I would post a few pics from this past Sunday. We were celebrating our friends birthday. Since my photographer friend Amber and I were there, we thought it only fitting to have a mini photo session of one of our friends and her little girl.
We had lots of fun.
Aren't these two cute?
I promise not to wait so long to blog again.
I hope you are all doing great!

I have been wanting one of these for so long now!
I can't believe that I bit the bullet and did it today. I bought an iMac.
This machine is AMAZING!!! I LOVE it. I really don't know why I didn't do it sooner?
For the Mac users out there you know what I am talking about. For those of you that don't know, they are so great!
Anyway, I will leave you with a picture from the Photo Booth on the Mac.
This me at 10:30pm
Have a great night everyone.
Ciao!

I took some pictures of Aiden yesterday. He is such a goof. I put a bunch up on his blog here if you wanna go check it out.
Have a great day!

The luckiest day of the year.
Stacey and Peter got married on Saturday 7-7-07. There is without a doubt that these two are so in love. I had the pleasure of capturing their special day.
I still have a TON of pictures to go through. Here are a few that I love so far.
S & P are still on their honeymoon, but I thought I would have a sneak peak for them when they returned home.
Congratulations you guys. I am so happy for you. Lots of love!!!
A big thanks to Amber and Marlo that came along for the ride with me that day. We all had a wonderful time and they were both rockstars!! Thanks you two, big hugs!!!

Made a believer out of me! When we went to Downtown Disney, we stopped in the Basin store. I tried one of their shampoo bars with little expectation. Wow, I am amazed! This little puppy really works! The best part is that it's chemical free and it has conditioner built in. Great for travel. I also bought the Rock Deoderant, very cool stuff.
Just wanted to share my new finding with everyone :)

BASIN Online Store - Good Hair Day (New!)

Hi everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!
I will hopefully be posting some pictures soon. Just trying to organize a bit over here!
Have a great day

We went up to Downtown Disney today.
I took some fun shots. We had a great time, but now we are tired! We didn't go into Disneyland because Aiden is still too little. We met some family up there and hung out for a while.
There are some more pics on Aidens blog here if you want to go look.
Have a great day!

Yesterday was my best friend's birthday.
We had a nice time enjoying it with her.
Here is a picture of her
and then a picture of Aiden making noises with his mouth.

Here is our M&M family. I got this idea from Bobbi's blog.
It was so fun to go create an m&m for yourself.
Go to http://www.becomeanmm.com to create yours.
Aiden's M&M looks weird, but they don't really have much for babies :)
Thanks for looking, now go create your own :)

Here is my everyday routine. I sit in front of these computers everyday doing work.
Just thought I would post a norm for me. I wish that I was doing photography exclusively but I still have a "real" job.
Someday :)

My baby is growing up so fast. Aiden is 8 months old now. The time is flying by. Before I know it he will be turning one!
Just thought I would share a pic from his session yesterday. There are more on his blog here if you want to look.
Have a great day

I wish I had some new photography pics to post. I have posted some new Aiden pictures on his blog though.
Soon I will have some new pictures up. Thanks for being patient!

Here are a few images from the wedding I did with Amber.
It was so beautiful. Thanks for such a great time, I had a blast

These two are so adorable. I had the pleasure of photographing them yesterday for their engagement pictures. We had a great time at Balboa Park.
Love this angle

Can you say, gorgeous?!!!

HOT stuff
Cute. I love their laughter! Thanks you guys. I am looking forward to sharing your wedding day next month! How fun. What a great day.

I also was a second shooter at a wedding with my friend last night. Those pictures will be up soon.

Have a great day

I had the opportunity of photographing these two little ones. Baby D is about 2.5 weeks old here and Baby I is 16 weeks old. What cuties!

You wouldn't believe how many times we tried to get D to sleep so we could get some pictures. I had to quickly snap a few. He woke up about 15 seconds later.

This is my favorite image. I love how she is looking at the camera. Her eyes are absolutely goregeous.

Thanks you guys!
It was so nice seeing you again.

Love ya-Missi

Isn't she beautiful?
I had a photo shoot with this pretty little girl yesterday. She is getting so big. She is holding her head up so good.

Thanks for the fun day Amber and Abbey! See you soon!
