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.    

Breinholt's Reception - the last of it!

What a great fam!  We got 7 siblings + their spouses + their kids + one set of grandparents + bride and groom together for the shots above!  A total of 30 + people who behaved so great!  All of those boys are brothers, too. 

The Children

Brittany + Greg = Gorgeous Couple!

Brittany and Greg had their Valley reception last Friday evening, followed by a Tucson reception later that weekend.  I had the privilege to photograph the entire family (16 adults plus kids = 30 or more bodies) in one shot, followed by each of the family portraits.  It all went really well, and Brittany and Greg are just gorgeous.  I even got to see an old high school gal/carpooler/cheerleader friend and her hubby and beautiful girl ;)   We are blessed.
