New Blog!

a new year, a new post

Happy New 2009!

It's officially a new year and I'm starting this blog a newly married woman. I am back from my wedding and back from traveling with the new husband through Taiwan. There, he was lucky enough to meet at least half (if not more) of my family. It's been twenty years since I have seen them and it was the perfect reunion to end the year with.

And with every new year comes new goals! I can start with the goal I set for myself every single year which is to stay fit and healthy aka lose the 10 lbs. gained from the holiday season (this one comes and goes throughout the year, but it will happen) and then I get into the real personal goals (in no order of importance!):

• being a loving and supportive wife (who keeps on top of the laundry)
• spend more time with family & friends
  
• continue being creative and being challenged to improve on being creative
• build my business and expand my networks
• launch the new website and blog - so keep posted!
  

I've decided to keep it short and sweet this year...although personal goals come up quite often through the year, it's good to start off with at least a few to accomplish! And with the first post of the new year, I'll leave you with the January 2009 cover I shot for Parenting Magazine.

This is officially the last post of 2008...I'll be traveling through Taiwan the rest of the year. Stay tuned in 2009 for all the brides, grooms, families, kids, and covers...and of course, stay tuned for more of the shenanigans and the new website & blog to come! Thanks for all the love and support this year.

Happy Holidays & Cheers to the New Year!

James and I had previously discussed his future modeling career the first time he was in front of my camera. Gotta tell you - he is good. His secret? Jelly Belly Jelly Beans...yes my friends, this superhero's weakness are those little gobs of goodness. This time, James and I worked together on the January cover of Parenting at the Discovery Science Center. Check out the images before they make the magazine:

heather + john + santa monica = photos with tourists

I know I've mentioned a few times in my blog that I just have been so lucky to have the best couples to work with...well Heather and John are one of those couples. The one thing (of the many things) that I love about them is that they love to laugh and they have this uncanny ability to be able to laugh at themselves, which is what I'll have to admit is what I'm known for amongst my friends too. So, there's the connection between Heather, John and I....plus we are also connected by the fact that I was mistaken for paparazzi and they were my Brangelina couple! During our photo sesh, we made some friendlies with the local tourists.



















Can't wait for more shenanigans in June!!!
