Yesterday I had a day. The beginnings of a sore throat, long lines at the DMV, & the need for an extra dose of patience everywhere I went – which I didn’t have. Ever had one of those days where everything just takes forever? When all the traffic lights are red & customer service seems...
The past few days I have been in the sunny state of Arizona for friends Alex & Alyssa’s wedding. The beautiful event took place at the Wigwam Resort on March 12th. In honor of their special day, I thought it would be fitting to post Alyssa’s Bachelorette photos! We had an amazing time in the...
One of my best friends, Lindye Galloway Events asked me to design a table scape with her for the Utterly Engaged New Years party. Sixteen teams contested in the “modern” themed challenge. Each team was given a budget of $150 for the centerpiece which had to be made of industrial materials, paper or fabric as...
For our wedding, my sister-in-law gave us all the necessities for rolling our own sushi, complete with recipe cards & a shopping list! As avid sushi lovers, we were so excited to try it out! We decided it would be fun to attempt this adventure with our friends & fellow photographers the Frenzels. Here are...
The drive down to the Newport peninsula is in full bloom! I’m not sure if the trees have been falsely alerted that it’s spring, but they look beautiful! Driving past the white and purple blossoms have lifted my spirits this rainy season. The first day of Spring on March 20th is fast approaching! In the...
It has turned out to be quite the busy month! So sorry I haven’t been blogging as usual. We took a trip out to Omaha last week for a late wedding reception with Troy’s family, then busily began designing for the Utterly Engaged party, celebrated my Birthday on Friday & then traveled out to Palm...

We decided on a modern glam theme & used industrial & paper materials to accomplish our look. We had a blast doing the...
Yesterday morning I met up for coffee with my friend Allison, who I worked at Montage Laguna Beach with this past summer. While we were talking she mentioned how neat it was that Troy and I are in the same “muse” now. I love that word, MUSE. I’ve been thinking about that today & re-appreciating...
One of the toughest decisions of an engagement shoot is what to wear. After all, you are paying a good deal of money for that ‘oh so good’ photographer of yours. It seems to be, that when it comes to choosing the perfect outfit, couples tend to go safe rather than fun. I call this style the...
While in Las Vegas shooting a wedding with Troy Grover, we visited a fun restaurant called Serendipity. The word serendipity means accidently discovering something fortunate. I would say that happened to us :) Really cool lamps & design inside. A blogger I found who documents ceilings snapped this great shot!
I also got to try Serendipity’s famous...
One of my very favorite things in high school was my CD alarm clock. At the time it was pretty high tech. You could actually choose a CD track to wake up to every morning. I used to set my alarm to John Mayer’s “Home Life” song. Ironic that years down the road I’d be...
