For 14 years my Thurston Grandparents lived in La Jolla California. I loved as a young girl flying to stay with them, playing on the beach, shopping at the NEX and watching Elvis movies. One of my favorite memories was my Grandma making sticky rice for us to take on our flight home. She would...

I have spent way too much time in my life looking for the perfect day planners/calendars. I love my paper calendars. I need them. I need to scribble and make lists. LOTS of lists. I need to use my medium bic blue ball point pens. After searching everywhere for a book that included a month...
A list of wedding ideas someone should do and then hire me to shoot: 1. Get married on an airplane Imagine all of your friends and family flying to an exotic location to celebrate the marriage that took place while flying with your “head in the clouds”…or “floating on air”…a walk down the aisle, bridesmaids...
Leather Craftsmen is one of my favorite bookbinding companies. This is the 10×10 high end album I offer wedding clients but I think it would also be a nice book to fill with family or vacation memories. I just love the simplicity and timelessness it has. I prefer to lay the images out on the...
Jane looks like she has a pretty happy life, doesn’t she? I would say so. Congratulations and many, many blessings to your new family of three. I need to come over and kiss her a little bit more.
In the spirit of all things Olympic I decided to post my Olympic look-a-like…Oksana Baiul. When she won the Gold medal I was in middle school and EVERYBODY was calling me Oksana. People were bringing me magazine cutouts, writing me notes about it and calling me from their long cord landlines. I met Oskana’s coach,...
Since 2000 OC Tanner has donated rings to all the Olympic athletes and staff. During the SLC Olympics they also donated all the medals. Donated every medal and every ring! Amazing. This year they invited the athletes to nominate someone who inspired their Olympic dream. Three winning nominations will be chosen and honored with a...
“Van” as the locals liked to call it, was pretty great. I had been to Vancouver before but had never been behind the scenes with the athletes. It was a pretty cool expierence. I am going to post some of my favorite shots on Monday. In the meantime enjoy the opening ceremony and your love...
Local artist Lara Fisher, of L. Fisher Design, had me photograph a few of her pieces that are displayed and sold at Rumba in Santa Monica. Her fish lamps are gorgeous, no? Check out some more of her work and magazine mentions on her blog.
Happy birthday to my handsome man. You don’t look a day over 18 and apparently have the worlds healthiest heart. Here’s to a year of not waiting, taking risks and ordering lots of desserts so I can have bites. What would my world be like without you? Crummy. With you is so much better. Can’t...
