We have had four meetings and so far…. it’s awesome!  The group of photographers that have been showing up, ready to grow and share are amazing!  I’m so impressed by them.  Instead of having a speaker I facilitate a discussion on certain topics like, pricing and branding and such.  This past month we broke up into smaller groups and each person had some time to share about themselves and to show off some of their work.  We were so inspired and encouraged by one another and left feeling like we got to know one another that much better.  I love this group!

If you’d be interested in being a part of the group, we’d love to have you.  We meet in Newport Beach the first Thursday of every month.  I send out all of the meeting info through our facebook group, so feel free to join so that you can be sure that you won’t miss out!  You can join here.

She says the photo was about the business card exchange, but I beg to differ!

Soooo……. how ya been?

Now that the busyness that was Christmas and the weeks of catch up right after are done, I feel like I’m caught up.  I’m spending some time thinking about what new things I’d like to do this year as well as planning some little adventures.  I’m ready for a great year…. how ’bout you?

So to get you caught up, here’s a wedding that I did in December.  Kim & Geo got married at the Balboa Inn right at the foot of the Balboa Pier.  It was a cold, kinda dreary day, but what a great day for a nice, intimate wedding.

Kim’s dress was gorgeous.

And so was she!

The groom wasn’t bad lookin’ either!

Another vote….. do you like color or b&w?

White lights make everything magical!

Man and wife!

Ohhh….. he did it.  He really did it.

Good for you Kim!

I met Molly the summer before her senior year in high school, the summer after my sophomore year in college.  I was a counselor at Miracle Ranch in Port Orchard, WA that summer.  Molly, or Franque as we called her (we all went by camp names) was my counselor in training and lived with me in my cabin, helping out with the campers all summer.  My camp name, in case you were wondering, was Gepetto.  The kids would try all week to figure out our real names.  I alway told them I would tell them my name in a letter if they wrote to me.  That was really just my way of making sure I got mail.  Hee hee!  We could definitely tell some horror stories of certain campers that summer, but we won’t talk about that now!

It was so fun to reconnect and find that we have even more in common.  Molly is just starting her photography business, but is already flying to different states to do photo shoots!  Watch out for this one!  She is rockin’ it!

Check out my pretty friend.
