Tanya

Lovin' me some black and white!

 So fresh!

Ode to Corral

There was so much of this hue at every turn at Tanya and Oscar's wedding that I thought it'd only be appropriate to get a little creative with Photoshop and show off this hue.  SO. BRIGHT.  Just having some late-night fun with Adobe!

Nate + Bekah = In Live and Living Color!

I got to shoot an engagement session for Bekah and Nate early Saturday morning.  By 7:00 a.m. the temperature must have been in the high 80's already!  As Bekah so tactfully put it, we had a nice "dew" after the shoot :)  

Location: Mesa Arts Center.  Mesa, Az.  

Ode to the Corral Dress + Something Blue

Down to Business: Bringing it on and making it happen one hair product at a time.

I began my day at 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning to get the "behind-the-scenes" shots of the glam squad before the wedding.  Let me tell you--which will be proved by further posts--I think don't think that anyone will ever have a better looking bridal party than Tanya Palermo!  All the ladies were fit for a red carpet showing!

I had the honor of capturing all the glamour-in-the-making moments.   Half of the girls I would spend hours getting ready with before hittin' the house parties and kennel clubs at Gonzaga U!  Like our old college motto, "We Bring the Party TO the Party", these ladies meant beauteous  business!

Fresh Faces from San Diego

Faces from Tanya's pool day in Encinitas followed by a shot after the fireworks from the Hyatt.  Look at those ZAGS reunited!!  

Weekend Wedding in San Diego

 Here's some shots from the weekend in San Diego:  rocking chairs at the airport, a stroll in Seaport Village, my second shoot Jenna, and bike rentals at the Manchester Grand Hyatt (where I get to stay!).  

The Universe Speaks On Street Corners

 I came across this message on a sidewalk leading into a city street corner garden off of Vine St. and the water in Seattle (Sept. 2008).  It says "If you love something, let it go!".  It immediately spoke to me, as I had been going through an experience that needed this application.  Love, I think to think, is there naturally, as an extension of you, True Love, that is.  You can let it go enough to trust it returns.  You can wish the best for someone, too, and see how it comes back to you.   Faith is born out of Love.  Like a boomerang, let it go without fear, have Faith, and see how it returns.
