well, i’m right here, of course!

life has been hectic this past month. i can hardly believe that we are nearing up on the end of january already. seriously?? but even though things have been kind of quite here on the old blog, believe me, there’s LOTS going on behind the scenes. i’m building the first of two new blogs, that will be linked to this one. it will be completely dedicated to boudoir and the other new site will be dedicated to RAD GRADS. this blog will still have most of the usual content on it that you’re used to: weddings, engagements sessions, boudoir and RAD GRAD mentions and, of course, some personal stuff about what’s going on in my life.  i’m also busy getting the details in place for the valentines boudoir event on february 6th. email me soon for your appointment. they are booking up! i was also in vancouver yesterday for a photography workshop with the awesome [b]ecker, southern california wedding photographer extraordinaire! he’s such a great guy and i took in so much useful information! now to start implementing some of it into my business.

tonight, after i was finished answering 2 days worth of emails,  i took the time to download the gazillion photos that i have on my iphone. i just love the little camera it has built-in it. i never have to worry about missing a “moment” when i have it with me. and it comes in especially handy when the kids are getting restless when we’re at a restaurant waiting for our meals to arrive or for taking the ever popular self portrait.

here’s a small collage of some of my favorites.

it seems like it was so long ago but it’s only been 2 weeks.  lights, elf hats, rock band, christmas cheer, gift giving, magical wizard wands, remote controls, great food and fun times – all such great memories of a wonderful holiday season filled with friends, family and the beautiful spirit of christmas.

i’ve decide to begin a new series here on my blog called one of my favorite things, where i will share with you – yes, you guessed it – some of my favorite things in life.  it may be about a favorite recipe that i’d like to share with you, it may be about someone who inspires me or it may just be about a book i’m reading at the time. who knows??  you’ll just have to keep tuning in to find out what it’s going to be about.

so, for the inaugural one of my favorite things post,  i would like to tell you about one of my most favorite things in the world right now. it’s a birthday gift that i received back in october from derek and the kids – a pandora charm bracelet. have you ever seen one?

they originated in denmark and they aren’t anything at all like the old type of charm bracelet – which i don’t have. the charms on this bracelet screw onto the bracelet rope. it’s so cool. it allows you to add to or change the bracelet whenever you’d like. the number of different charm combinations is infinite! it could be a different charm bracelet every day!

these are a few of the charms on my wish list for christmas. aren’t the glass beads gorgeous!! i sure hope santa sees my wish list! ;)

keep leaving those comments! one can is being donated to my local food bank for every one.
