Just Because: Kelsey and Mark

A month ago my friend Kelsey called me asking if I could take some pictures of her and her boyfriend, Mark. They've been dating for a year now and she was hoping to get some pictures of the two of them before she transfered to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Mark will be working hard as an EMT while she goes off for school.

They decided to go down to Laguna Beach to try and find this old castle-like tower at Victoria Beach. Unfortunately we came during high tide. Making it unreachable, but that didn't stop us from having our fun. Kelsey apologized at the beginning for not knowing how to "model". But by the end they were sure looking like models to me!

Just a teaser

This past week I did a photo session for my friends Kelsey and Mark. And since I know she is dying to see them I thought I'd post a little teaser until the rest are done. I cant wait to post the rest of them! It was such a blast working with them.

Hope this will tide you over for now Kelsey! I think its a pretty good sneak peek:)

Weekend Getaway

So I know I haven't posted anything for a bit, and there's a few reasons (excuses) why. My summer school class was coming to an end which meant final papers and tests needed to be studied for. Then getting ready for fall semester to start took up some time. And lastly I went on a long weekend trip to Lake Mead in Nevada.

It was an awesome trip with my family and friends as we stayed out on a houseboat on the lake! The water was amazing, and it needed to be since it was 116 degrees at one point. I felt like I was baking in an oven. Sadly I didn't take too many photos. A speedboat isn't the safest place for a camera. But I did snap some shots with my trusty iPhone. Here's just a few from the drive home. Its the reason I love road trips so much:)

Happy Thursday!

Petting Zoo Fun

Petting zoos are nostalgic to me. When I was a little girl I would have birthday parties there and cry when my mom would take me home. I remember my brother and I begging my mom to take us to the petting zoo to hold the rabbits and ride on the ponies. So I'm a sucker for taking kids to the petting zoo.

The other day I went along with my friend Leah to take the kids she was nannying. And I'm not sure who had more fun, me or the kids. But as I reminisced about the times my mother brought me, I snapped photos of the kids. And watched their faces light up like mine had once.
