I constantly go on and on about how much I love the beach and the light at the beach in Point Dume in Malibu. This photo shoot with Vikki (7 months pregnant) and her fiancee Scott with their dog, Armstrong, is a perfect example. Not only is it a beautiful beach but it’s a beautiful hike down there.
We had so much fun and Armstrong, who usually doesn’t care for water, was a very happy dog!
Armstrong is a Texas Blue Lacy, a dog breed I was not familiar with.
I also created a slideshow from our photo shoot. You can view it above or by clicking here.
I love creating slideshows (especially choosing the music) from my photo shoots. This is a slideshow I created from Brendan James’ newborn photo shoot.

I read a lot and I mean a lot and I read about Pinterest in June 2010 (click here for proof) and immediately signed up.
I was gleeful about this new little site. It took all of my favorite magazine tear sheets from boxes in my house and put them neatly on one page for the world to see.
I told everyone I knew about this site and they all looked at me puzzled. They had no idea what I was talking about. I even wrote three blog entries about it in June 2010 to no avail. Now it’s all the rage and when people ask me about it I look at them and say “Um yeah I knew about Pinterest two years ago and no one listened to me.”
Let’s just say that once again I was ahead of the curve and ahead of the trend.

I thought it time the ladies behind A Soolip Wedding deserve their very own blog entry. Wanda Wen, owner of Soolip, and her amazing team of Erica Ahlin and Brooke Barnes Zipperman pull off the Soolip Wedding event and they make it look effortless. I know that whatever I ask or need I never have to worry that it isn’t going to happen. They also look amazing the day of the event and I have proof this year. I was able to get them in my photo booth before the event was finished.
P.S. Brooke’s baby was due almost the same day as this year’s LA event (and ended up having her baby two weeks early) and showed up at the end of the event to make an appearance. You can view the images I took of her Brooke and her baby bump here.
