I Heart Faces - {Fix-It-Friday #125}

Here is my take for I Heart Faces "Fix-It-Friday" challenge. Even though, I am a couple weeks late...hehe! ;) Enjoy! <3

I hope you all have a wonderful day!





Worship Wednesday - A Beautiful Sunset | Capturing His Creation

A wonderful sunset. Beautiful and vibrant colors of reds, oranges, yellows and blues color the edge of the sky.  Each sunset is so unique and magical it simply speaks volumes about our Savior and heavenly Creator.  At times whenever I feel terribly distracted and bogged down by the cares and worries of life, just stepping outside and mediating on the beauty of His creation and His word is enough to fill me up with an inexpressible amount of peace.

It amazes me at how wonderful and glorious a Creator He is to fashion something so beautiful and unique each and every day.  What amazes me even more is the thought of how great His love and grace is for us.  You are amazing, oh God, Your hand in Creation alone is beyond what we can create or comprehend.
How deep, wide and great his everlasting love is for us is nearly unfathomable and nothing can separate us from His love. 



"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." ~ Romans 8:38-39

 May our hearts be filled with praise by witnessing the wonders of Your creation.  <3

Harlee & Jesse | Sisters | 2011 Photo Session

This past month I've been delighted to photograph two sisters, both with amazing talent, beautiful looks and wonderful personalities! These young women were so much fun to photograph! Here's are a few of their photographs from their session! :)

{Sweet Sakura Studios} - Kristina Class of 2011 Photo Session | San Diego | Inland Empire | Orange County | Senior | Photography

I've had the pleasure of photographing this sweet young lady who is a strong follower of Christ as well as a talented singer/songwriter.  Her bright and cheerful personality really shone and showed through the photos and it was such a blessing to be able to hear her testimony of Christ!  While we were taking photos, I was delighted to hear her rendition of "Count on Me" by Bruno Mars.  It was so neat to hear her play and it was truly a wonderful time indeed! :)

LIFE | Something Sweet

I am so sorry for being MIA for soooo long! :) It's been a pretty eventful summer so far, and there has been such a whirlwind of activity, that it finally feels nice to slow down a little and update this little blog. :)

To kick things off, I just have to share with you all something sweet that my awesome beau gave to me a few days ago. :)

Aren't they just beautiful?! :) I was so very happy when he came through my door with the bouquet!

Justin | 2011 Senior Photo Session

Congratulations, Justin, for graduating this year! Class of 2011!!! :) This was a very enjoyable photo shoot! It didn't take him long to quickly adapt to the slightly intimidating "paparazzi camera"... as there were lots of laughs, smiles and, of course, a large dose of epicness. ;)

Congratulations, again, Justin for graduating this year.  I hope that wherever you are led to go, you will follow it with an undying passion for Christ and may you experience a blessed future! :)

 

 

 

I hope everyone is enjoying a very wonderful summer! The weather here has been blessed with much sunshine - perfect for swimming! Have a great weekend everyone! :)

LIFE | Pink + Bling = LOVE!

It's pink...it's shiny....and it has rhinestones...say what?!

My inner girly-girl turned down even a sweet and simple cherry blossom phone cover for something with a little more..."bang!" or is it bling? Either way, isn't it pretty? It's so light reflective it could possibly blind someone! Well, that could be a bit of an exaggeration, but it's still so....shiny...the beau says that it reminds him of bubblegum, I guess it's the pink and blue color combination. :)

In other news not pertaining to blingy phone covers...here are a couple of my favorite photos of the week... a perfect day at the beach with friends. :)

 And, of course, seaweed crowns/tiaras are the must-have for summer 2011. ;)

This week is going to be a long week as I have finally finished up a senior photo session that I can't wait to share it with you all! Here's a sneak peek! Enjoy! :)

Little Somethings Photo Challenge | {Little}

Here is my very first entry for the "Little" photo challenge by Kate of Little Somethings.  Thank you, Kate for hosting such a fun photo challenge! :)  The challenge was to find something that described the word "little" and there was one photo that came into mind.  I just love how you can just see the tender emotion between father and daughter as he gives her a kiss. <3 Thank you for visiting my blog! Enjoy! :)

I Heart Faces - {Fix-It-Friday #102}

I've really been enjoying the weekly Fix-It-Friday challenges over at I Heart Faces! I guess it's because I'm a bit of a "PS/CS5" geek and I love playing around trying to create a particular look that goes with the emotion within the image.  This week's challenge provides an image of this adorable little girl (look at those beautiful blue eyes!).  Enjoy!  Be sure to check out other FIF submissions here! :)

I Heart Faces | Photo Challenge {From a Distance}

Here's my very first entry for I Heart Faces Photo Challenge! :) I instantly thought of this photo when I saw the title of the challenge was "From a Distance".  It reminded me of this photo from a photo session with a sweet friend of mine. She reminds me of a princess walking through a lush field to meet her prince...so romantic! Enjoy! :)

I Heart Faces - {Fix-It-Friday #101}

I was a bit late in getting to the weekly "Fix-It-Friday" challenge at I Heart Faces, but I fell head over heels in love with the photo that they had up for everyone to play with! :)  It wasn't that much of a challenge to edit, but the possibilities were simply endless!! Although, finding "the look" to go with the photo was a great learning experience.   I desired the photo to be vibrant, but also a dreamy, vintage, and fairytale-like as well, which was hard because those looks seemed to go against one another! After a few minutes (or what seemed like minutes, but most likely had been hours...) the look finally came into place.  Enjoy! :)
