10 things I love about Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Another week come and gone. The days are moving so swiftly on me! I've lost track of my days here in Texas which is very rare for me. I'm always on top of that. Hope you are all having a great week so far; its the hump day! 2 more days until weekend time. Enjoy this wednesday post filled with a kitten, crafts, relaxation, and lots of love!

I wrapped up my last wedding's photos last weekend. And I'm currently working on some album artwork; so lots of paper and brain being used this week!



Also getting very excited for the next semester to start! Got a little juvenile, I'll say. But I do love Hello Kitty. And possibly studying aboard this winter?



My Eat. Pray. Love book inspired me so much. So I made this bracelet from one of my favorite Italian sayings in the book. "L'arte D'arrangiarsi" the art of making something out of nothing. And I do love laying in my bed, being totally relaxed and looking at the beautiful Texas sunsets.



Also, that bib necklace I was inspired by last week; I made! And here is my baby girl Cleo.



Also just because I loved these bridal photos so much; another one! And the best view! My room :]

10 things I love about Wednesday

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you are all having a great summer and are spending lots of time with loved ones. I don't ever want to take summer for granted, and use it as a time to love on family, friends, and do things you would only do in summer. Here's my next 10 things post, enjoy it!

Say hello to our families new kitten, Cleopatra! Cleo for short. I've also done a lot of swimming at home. So refreshing.



Although when Oprah first raved about this book about a year ago, I thought "eh" but since seeing the movie previews, I knew I HAD to read it. I love it so far and can only enjoy it wrapped in a soft blanket (with the fan on, of course)



Some things on my "to buy" list. New pair of heels and motocross boots :]



Cute new knitting pattern a friend sent over, and bib necklaces! I love them.



A new pair of sunglasses. And lastly, but definitely not least! Sweet tea. I can't live without it at home and have gone through 2 jugs already! Eee. Addict?



What do you love about Wednesday's?

10 things I love about Wednesday

Today I have another "10 things" Wednesday post, and I'm really happy to share these because I'm all the way over in Dallas, Texas at home. I'll be here for 3 weeks and that makes me really excited. Good to have some time to myself, and my family before school starts back up again.

I have to mention first the things in Texas that really draw me over. My family of course, so here's a couple of them (minus mom and dad). My sister took me shopping and out to lunch recently which was really fun to get to spend some time with her. And here is her dog, Bentlee, who loves me a wholeee lot when I come home.



I made some crafts today, one is a cat bed for our new kitten were bringing home tomorrow! (I know, I sewed a cat bed, sue me! I'm cat crazy). I won't share the name or what it looks like yet, because once I get the kitten you will probably all be saying "another picture of the cat, again?!" Our family is REALLY excited to bring the kitty home.

And I made a camera strap! A friend inspired me to sew one, and I'll be giving one away when I'm back in CA so keep a lookout, they're a cute way to style out your camera!



My other favorite things here in texas are below. One being my bed, which is super soft and comfy. I think thats the first thing I tell most my friends about why I love home. "My bed!" I scream. And of course, the boots. I have plenty a' pair and even though its sweltering hot right now, they do me no wrong. Great to plow through those tall grass fields in the summer :] I love my boots.



I also like to keep you updated on my recent edits, so here are a couple more. These are from the past wedding I did. I'm now on the preparation shots and I don't even know how many times I've shouted "YES!" while editing a picture. Its a great feeling and I'm falling in love with my shots.



And lastly, two very random things I love.

1. traveling. I have seriously been bitten by the travel bug this summer. I am dying to go somewhere. I realize I'm at a luxury to be able to come home to Dallas as my vacation, but I want more! I want something unfamiliar. Hopefully this summer I'll be able to do something; if not, early January!

2. found a cute new clutch on etsy I love: check out the store!

Veronica + Mom Session

I recently read “Laughter is the spark of the soul.” And I can't tell you how much fun and genuine laughter was experienced between my recent mother/daughter session with my friend Veronica and her mom. They have the kind of relationship that just makes you sigh, and reminds me so much of my mom and I (which is maybe why I love them so much). Its so important to me to photograph people the right way, to catch a glimpse of their character and soul in a photograph; they made it easy. I've known Veronica since elementary school days, and consider her one of my funniest friends (I even tell Jeremy "Veronica will think that's funny" in conversation, a lot!). We laugh a lot when we are together, and seeing her mom and her interact made me understand where she got it from (as well as her cuteness! they look so alike). So I was overjoyed that they asked me to photograph them together for her Dad's birthday. What a fun present! I hope you can spot the genuine-ness throughout the photos. Its magic.
