that’s exactly what I feel like I’ve been doing for the last month…RUNNING…a marathon that hasn’t stopped quite yet!
I was out of town nearly all month, by myself with the kiddos, only to come home to sickness, and the start of school. Since I’m homeschooling this year it means it’s all on me. YIKES!!! Actually, so far, so good. I have LOVED it and so has Andy. He loves the flexibility and the fun things he gets to do and has told me several times that he is so happy to be doing this. That makes it all worth it. I’ve had to scale back the things I love to do a little, but I think that I will be backup to speed shortly once both of us get into a routine. I really do love the extra time that I get to spend with him and it is so fun to watch him learn. I have had time to squeeze in a few things and here is a sneak at something I was SO excited about. In between trips I nearly worked myself into a coma getting ready for this shoot, but I think it was all worth it!
After a few calls to some amazing friends, it all came together and we got some gorgeous shots. When planning this I quickly realized my limitations and didn’t hesitate to call in the big guns. Katrina Kirk from Hello Beautiful Salon did the amazing styling. She made several trips to the “library” and made sure that everyone looked just gorgeous! Seriously folks, she is unbelieveable. TOTALLY worth the trip to Corona to get your mane tamed by this genius. If you ever need styling for ANYTHING, she is your girl.
Kamee, well what can I say. That girl can make the camera do amazing things. I knew that I would be WAY too crazy to actually be behind the camera myself, so I begged her to help me out.
And then I lucked out…because Ralph Palumbo decided to come join in on the fun. I am begging him to teach me how to use my flash…he is amazing. Be on the lookout for more of his stuff each month in Orange Coast Magazine and Coast Magazine.

I did manage to steal a few moments behind the camera…it’s torture being at a shoot like this as a photog and not being able to use your camera! I found a few quiet moments near the end when things had settled down for me to snap these…
I will have much more to share soon…I was just dying to post something since I have been letting this poor blog fall to the wayside!
Hope you are all doing well!
Have a great day!
