Sunshine & Sand.

I thought of the beach today.




I hope we reunite soon.

Engagement Session: CT & Kirsten

CT has a big personality (and muscles), enough for two people! :) So when I found out he was dating and then marrying reserved and sweet Kirsten, one thing came to mind: Paula Abdul and MC Kat Skat's "Opposites Attract". hahaha!

But there is one thing for sure, as long as I've known CT, I've never seen him so smitten as he is with Kirsten. I loved seeing these two interact and how well they fit each other. It just made me happy for them and happy in general about that lil' thing we like to call love. (I'm cheesy sometimes, I can't help it.)







Thank you CT and Kirsten for being so patient with me that day!
Congrats on your big day!

Blast from the Past! A-woo-hooo!

My niece Kealani, loves to watch the old cartoons that my parents still have. Well when I say 'old cartoons' that means, tapes. VHS tapes.

She usually likes to watch "Bongo".

Which I love/loved this movie too, so I'm happy to watch it with her. I too like to sing along about how bears tell each other they love each other with a slap...but by the 5th time, it gets old.

So I told her to pick a new movie. She picked Duck Tales. So we stuck it in, and just like riding a bike, when the theme song came on I automatically started to sing with it. I had to laugh at myself kinda surprised that I remembered the words like I watched it yesterday.

I thought you might want to take a little trip down memory lane with me too...I found the theme song on YouTube. Enjoy.


(seriously though, this theme song is like the Kenny Loggins soundtracks of cartoon theme songs, right?!)

Engagement Session: Julia & Dan

This post is waaaay behind. Julia and Dan are already blissfully married! Yes, I'm that behind on this one.

Julia is one of THE best people in the world. She is one of those people that you want to have in your corner. She is a great friend and I am so happy that she is a part of my life. One of my favorite things about Julia, she is pretty stinkin' funny and yet, she thinks that she isn't. I can go on and on about her, I love her that much, but I will just say that she is amazing.

I remember when Julia first told me about meeting Dan. Her initial impression was that he seemed like a great guy. Then not long after that she was smitten. She would tell me, "Lori, I don't know...I don't want to jinx it, but, it's just different with him...." And then suddenly she was more than just smitten and then she was in love! I couldn't have been happier for her. I remember conversations we would have about guys, dating, love and relationships and here is one my best friends, in love and then getting married!

I'll stop talking...sheesh! :)

Second favorite shot of the day.




Favorite shot of the day!

Sneak Peek: Liz

Here is what I am working on right now.



Love the lighting...and the jump shot!! :) I had to convince Liz that it would be an awesome shot, and luckily I got it the first time!

Rasmussen Family

I have known the Rasmussen family for a really long time. So I was really excited when they asked me to take their family pictures. It was great to see how grown up all the kids were. I pretty much want to grow up and be as cool as the oldest, Jacklyn, a senior in high school. ;)

The lighting was A-mazing and it was a gorgeous day! I had a lot to pick from, but I thought it was best to edit myself! :)

Love the first shot.


This is my favorite shot of the day.





This was my second favorite of the day...so much so that I had to throw it in! I like the feeling of it. It's like she belongs on a beach in California. :)

Picture of the "Week"

This is at Sea World in San Antonio. I just randomly found this shot and thought I'd share it.

I find it so...uh, weird I guess..how much everyone loves penguins. I think they are cool, but meh...whatever. haha! But I did like watching them swim, that was pretty sweet. They are fast little buggers in the water.
