San Diego Boudoir Photographer | Random Jabber

April 19, 2010 – 4:32 am

Doesnt the post title look funny?  I always feel like the biggest dork putting “San Diego Boudoir Photographer” in my post titles but I do that for Google so potential clients can find me. Just thought I should mention that so people dont think I am crazy and having to continuously remind myself of my own job. HAHA!

Okay, so onto the random jabber.  Great weekend, fun clients. Love meeting new people!  Hmm?  What else? I moved a few weeks ago so I am still trying to play catch up. I should take a picture of my home office. It is a mess. It’s kind of that extra room we threw all the random boxes into an just never unpacked.  Somehow my kids tipped over a box of random pictures and I was looking at the stack on the ground thinking “what is that? Oh great, its a picture of a placenta.”  Yes, disgusting. I know. Why I even have a picture of my placenta I have no idea.  You’d think that puppy would be stashed away somewhere never to be found again but nope, right on top.  Fabulous. The picture underneath of it wasnt so fantastic either.  Just sayin.

Okay right, back to my original thought….(I am sort of ADD)….boxes, moving, catching up! I’m hoping by TOMORROW (actually today, its 1:20 am, I had a coffee @ 11 to try to keep me awake) all of last weekend’s shoot galleries will be ready! Weeee! Thanks for hanging tight this week, girls! You rock!

Ooh, another thing, just hit 550 fans on the Facebook page. Double weeee! I swear I dont spam people so for them to just add me on their own makes me happy!  Smooches to all of you!

Last random thought, google Lillian Bassman.  She’s 93 year old New York photographer and I just find her work from the 40s and 50s soooooo inspiring! It’s kind of boudoir-ish. Maybe more to the “glamour” aspect but wow, I love it.  I also love her love story.  In love for 77 years until he passed away at the age of 94.  Gives you chills, right?

Okay, I should stop my middle of night blabbering.  Here is a picture from today.  Dont expect it to be awesome, its from my camera phone.  Don’t let my husband see either, I tell him how hard I am working when I’m at my studio while he is home watching the kids. ;)

Sorry and Daphne

March 19, 2010 – 5:23 am

I know I have been a bad blogger! Sorry for that! This month has been a little nuts.  Had some great sessions with some great people, am getting ready to move (locally), and preparing for Micah and Emily’s wedding on Saturday.  Stay tuned for that blog post in a few days!

In the meantime here are a few pics of my daughter from last week. I woke up to plastic doll feet being bounced on my face and when I opened my eyes saw that my four year old had an entire crew sleeping with us in the bed.  Yes, she still crawls in our bed every night (actually early morning around 3-4 am.) I hear my creaky door open and it used to scare me thinking it was a knife wielding murderer but it’s always a small girl with her hands full of her “friends.”  Which I guess could be equally scary if you werent expecting it or dont have a small girl living with you in your house.  LOL Anyways, I will stop blabbering now.

P.S.  If you see drool on the pillow, let’s blame the kid.

Daphne and Lola, her Build-a-Bear that she got with my grandparents.  She hasnt lost Lola’s shoes yet which means she EXTRA loves her.

Leavin’ on a Jet Plane: Headed to Raleigh, NC

January 25, 2010 – 8:55 pm

On Friday I will be headed to Raleigh, North Carolina to do a boudoir shoot for a rockin photographer that lives in the area! Weee! So fun!  I’m nervous! 1.) I hate flying and 2.) doing shoots for really good photographers is always a little intimidating!  HAHAHAHA! SUPER excited though!

For the So Cal peeps, I will be back late on the 31st.  Those of you who had your sessions this past weekend will get your galleries before I leave.  Mwah!

Sometimes you just need a break.

November 24, 2009 – 12:26 am

We’ve had a crazy past couple of months.  My poor kids have been neglected (not like CPS neglected but like “we want our mom to play with us again” neglected) and its easy to try to please everyone else first because the kids never get mad at you.  I’ve been crazy busy, my husband’s work schedule has been nuts ( I feel like a single mama this past month, thank you my husband’s company if you even read this. Doubtful. LOL!!) Add some sickness on that and NO BUENO! So anyways, I’ve finally starting to wrap stuff up but still crazy and my kid is hanging on me saying “mama! Mama!  MAMA! I want a snack! Read me this book! Let’s play hide and seek! Wipe my butt! I drew you a picture!” All the parents out there know what I mean! It’s pretty much impossible to get any type of work done at home.

There comes a point when you have to realize and say “screw it! My kids need some attention!” SOOOOOO, Jevin got to go with grandpa on his truck route (my dad is a long haul truck driver) because he is out of school this week.  Jon is away working again, I miss him! (No, this is not an invitation to come murder me, I have dogs, big ones.) But you dont really realize how much someone helps out until they arent here! I’m not the best domestic goddess and one day he came home after a few days and looked around and said “What, did your maid quit?”  HAHAHAHA

Soooooo it’s girls week this week! I wanted to take Daph to do something fun too instead of staring at me working.  LOL Today she had her very first manicure and pedicure.  Thank you Professional Nails for being so good with her!  She felt like such a big girl! 

She asked her if she wanted a flower and she said “Flower?  On my TOE?”  HAHA

finished product (and yes, we had smoothies for dinner! Hey dont judge.  LOL)

Now it’s time to go find something healthier for dinner and then have a girls camp out in the living room. When she falls asleep, I can sneak away and get back to work.  Sometimes you just need a quick break!
