Baby Oscar!

Baby Oscar is such a precious baby! He was such a good boy during our shoot. I was very happy to shoot him as he was wide awake and was reacting to me moving around, as well as to his animal mobile over his crib.
I had so much fun!

It kinda makes me think maybe I want a baby of my own...

(Don't tell Hubby I said that just now, lol.)

Enjoy the few photos I am posting!

Please, let me know what you think. :)

This one is super blurry, but I love how wide he is smiling!

God Bless! <3

MY GRADUATION - Pepperdine University!!!

I can't believe I finished. I'm done with school. It's all over...

I am definitely going to miss it, but boy am I glad it's over with!
More than anything, I am going to miss my friends that I met through Pepperdine. Jordan, Carmelle, and everyone else (that don't have blogs, lol) I will miss you all so much. Hopefully we can get together sometime in the future and reconnect.

Anyway, Graduation was so amazing and it ended up being a beautiful day, even though the weather channel made us worry by saying there was a storm on the way. Luckily, the clouds blew away and the day was as dreamy as any other Malibu day.

Here are some pictures that Hubby shot of the graduation!

Enjoy!

Busy Bee!

Hi guys! I have been so busy lately and haven't had a chance to update my blog for a while.

Well, let's hope I can get back into the swing of things. I have a few things to update you all on, plus some photo-shoots that I have done lately.

For now, I am just letting you all know that I am still alive and Hubby and I are more blessed than ever!! I will be back in the next couple of days posting about my graduation, my new job, and my new baby niece. So come back and check often for new updates!

<3 ya! :D

Plus, here are a couple of teasers for Baby Oscar's momma!

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Thank You Trista! :D

So, Hubby and I finally got around to meeting Trista and doing our photoshoot. (Trista, by the way, is this AMAZING photographer that I have been stalking through her blog and I think you should all do the same)!
:)

Anyway, Hubby and I met her in Malibu to do our shoot and it was just the most perfect day for a shoot ever! Here, let these teaser images prove it to you:

Plus, go to her blog here to see more images of Hubby and I, and some of her other work! Leave her a comment or two. I'm sure she'll love them!

P.S. If you want me to shoot some images of you and your lover, pet, family, or just yourself, let me know when and where and we can set something up! :)

Two favorites working together! Amen!

So, I've been gone for quite a while, but I have been busy ever since graduation!

More on that later. I am here to talk about something I think is just AMAZING!! I am excited about it! So excited that it pushed me out of my blogging coma, lol.

Ready for this?

Jimmy Choo (swoon) is working with a favorite company of mine: H&M!!

I told you it was AMAZING!!

Look at this image from H&M!

I want BOTH pairs!!
Ahh, Hubby is NOT going to like this as much as I am, lol.

Aaahhhh-mazing!!! My bank account is sooo going to suffer this fall (starting in November).

The collection will include shoes, handbags, and clothing. All to match! :)

Could there be anything more perfect than this?!
