A gift for their mom, these two allowed me to get my camera in their face for a few shots down at the beach. I really enjoy taking photos of young adults. I get a glimpse of who they are. This last shot is one my daughter took. I love it. She is such an asset to me when I do shoots. She will just snap away from different sides. So in this one, I'm shooting directly on their faces while she

Just a quick shot of the sunrise this morning, in case you were fortunate to sleep through it.

What a way to start the day. 5:50am: feeling like I never went to sleep. 6:20am: making scrambled eggs for the kid who still can't chew 'cuz of wisdom teeth extraction. 6:40am: seeing what she has on and forcing her to change... (no-she wasn't baring any body parts, just don't want her to get teased) 6:48am: me still hunting for my keys only to hear her, "mom, you got broken into again." Sheesh.

Happy New Year!I made a calendar for 2012 with several photos of flowers that I have taken throughout the year. Here is a sampling of it with January's that you can pull off and print for yourself. A New Year's gift from me to you!

Took a break for an hour and grabbed my camera for a quick shoot at the beach. We have been having Santa Ana winds which bring the wind off shore. It gave the waves better form and a great spray. I would say that this is as close to snow as we get.  Did several photo shoots this week. Five to be exact. Here is one young boy who loved this rock and was such a great model. He loved to pose and

Here is a sampling of some holiday gifts that I made for my client's to give to their clients. Easy to do, just several steps and I work in a scattered way so I work a bit, go to something else, come back, get a muffin, give one to a moose, come back... you get the picture.The first photo is one of the completed bottles. You can see I used m&m's. The plain fit perfectly in the large bottles,

Today I decided to play for a bit. I stumbled onto a site called Vangobotaka: PopArtMachine, Modern Arts Midwest.They have an interactive section whereby you upload your own photo and it will re-work it into art. Now in as much as photoshop can and will do this, I found that some of the styles were different from the click-and-see photoshop filters. Here is my original photo.  Click on

What have I been doing lately? My niece had her baby...  Sweet as can be! Did a photoshoot at noon (really?), sun straight up, tons of people, but... no wind and a beautiful family. Still playing with this wedding. Shot the HBHS Field Hockey Team photos this year. As a joke, I framed this next one for the varsity coach.Did you know she was the 2010 Field Hockey Coach of the Year?Went on a

Busy with Senior Ads. It's that time of year!I wanted to share one that I finished this morning. It is for a young man that is very interested in car racing. He has it all. Brains, brawn, and the backing of incredibly supportive grounded parents.The first photo is the final art. I was given many photos to use, however I wanted to incorporate them in an interesting way. We did a photo shoot down

A few weeks back I did a photo shoot for the Schurr High School's 20th Class Reunion in Montebello. They wanted a photo booth without the cost. So, I worked a bit of magic. I used a simplified vignette that we use for Inside Out Weddings/Events. I had my backdrop, jerry-rigged it up behind the bench and brought in the props. There are two sites that I think you ought to know about. The first one

This week I was asked to submit a few pics of ocean scenes to my sister's client's pediatric office. You can view her office here; InsideOut Designs. They are looking for something teal that can be enlarged for a wall in their waiting room. I submitted several options and then decided at the last minute to send this one too. Being a pediatric office, I liked that it was with children. The next

What is today, Wednesday? Already?? I feel as if my week has been tucked away somewhere under the dust layers in this house. Monday and Tuesday took me to Mag's college for orientation. As ready as I know she is, her own trust in herself is only emerging as she's willing to take risks. Standing there next to her and the numerous other freshman (with no moms) she says to me I can leave. I asked if

Tomorrow's weather forecast is bringing a shower... baby that is. My niece is expecting her first baby and it's a girl! I made up these sheets for people to fill out for her (thanks to ideas on the web of course and my all too talented artist sister who gave me the floral-print-art) I emailed her a copy of it and she then sent me back another idea. Which I have to say is so much better! My niece

Shooting a wedding brings many surprises. For me, they are standard yet workable issues. I love to see what I can do with photos in photo shop. Here is my chosen fix for the day. In the first photo you can see what the wedding coordinator got to do. She escorted these two frilly tots down a long stretch and then helped them down stairs. (Earlier that day one of them had shoes on, and the other,

Here are just a few photos from the Temecula wedding on Saturday. I will post more as I go through them. I like these for different reasons. Which ones do you like and why?Temecula has some amazing photographic locations. I'm sad that my time was very limited with the bride and groom. I may drive out there again just to play.

It was hotter than heck in New York this past week. I took a ton of photos, none of which are very impressive, but here are some hidden treasures in Central Park.I bought a new lens yesterday. I'm very excited about it. My old zoom has just not been performing to the way it used to and had already had my lenses in the shop. I was either switching everything over to Nikon, or giving a new lens a

I thought I would post some of my son's photos from his last few mornings at 17th street in HB and the Wedge in Newport. He wears a "Go-Pro" on his head and then begins shooting. He says one of the down falls of the Go-Pro is that he can't take the photo when he wants to. He sets it to begin shooting and it takes a still pic every so many seconds. There are times when he misses the shot he wished

This week I was given the job of changing out a few things on my sister's blog. She wanted to give it a fresh new look so we took off the doggy header and I added in a gator header. I was able to use her art from one of her new releases "Underpants Thunderpants!" published by Parragon. On one of the spreads is this adorable gator with a monkey hiding behind a pair of boxers in a tree. Click here

Last week I was in San Fran (with my artist rep. hat on) assisting my sister in her studio.

This was and has been a very busy week! On Mother's Day my oldest came walking up to me with a tearful face and asked me to come into her room to look at something. I knew something was wrong. Very wrong. An email came through that stated her acceptance into college had been withdrawn due to a form not received. Oh my! I usually don't cry, but I was tired. I lost it.

Yesterday I took this lovely young lady out for a photo shoot in a nearby field. She had 270 photos to choose from as a gift to her mother for mother's day. There were so many to pick from. She is not only beautiful, but she can give different looks in the camera from one to the next. There were some that if I hadn't taken the shot I would have thought it was a different day.

During our stay in Rosarito we found that the Pelicans loved the point just outside our place. Here are just a few shots that I took of them. I never realized that I could shoot so many pics of pelicans. I think they are such funny looking birds. They take on a character of their own, don't they?

I made business cards for Mags to hand out to her friends. On the back, they have her email address and other info that she wants them to have so they can all keep in touch during their college years. They are 3 1/2 by 2, luster finish on the front, double thick and writable backing.Contact me if you would like some for your kids!((Hard to believe I have a college student.))

If I ever wanted to get a preview of what it would be like to see my daughter in a wedding gown, this weekend was it. We had our NCL Presentation, different than a Debutant Ball, it was to celebrate years of community service. I usually have my camera clamped to my hand, but this time, I barely took any photos. I would say I took maybe at best, fifteen pics. Do I regret that decision? Yes and no.

My sister found a really cute framed dog at a store recently and when she went back to get it, it was already sold. I thought how frequent that happens. And feeling sad that she wasn't able to get it, I thought that maybe, just maybe, I could reproduce something similar. Here is her dog, Milo. I took a photo of him and then in photoshop, changed it into more of a painting. I framed it with a

Yesterday was our yearly fundraiser/fashion show. I wanted to catch a few snaps to document the day. There were two families that I would give the Fashionista Award to. Here is the first one. She was so cute but hated my camera. I scared her with the flash.And her reaction..Why that makes me smile is beyond me. Cute as a button though.This family oozes creativity.

We have had several friends ask us about our trip to Costa Rica. Looks like this year is the year many will be traveling there! Wish we were going back too. It was really beautiful, however, my darling husband loves to get as much in as possible so our day drives were fast and furious. My photos don't reflect just how beautiful it is as I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to

Tonight I was working on a project and took one of my flower photos and painted it in photoshop. I think I recall most of what I did, but I tweaked it so many ways that I'm not sure. Anyhow, I like how it turned out. What do you think?

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a professional is one that engages in a pursuit or activity professionally, participating for gain or livelihood; receiving financial return, permanent career, etc.Kind of leaves it open in my book. Pay someone and they can be considered a professional. I used to always correct my kids when they would refer to me as a professional. I never wanted to

I was helping my sister catalog her wedding decor and she pulled out these angel bookends. They are so beautiful! I really think they are spectacular and if it wasn't for other people living in this house, I would use them as door stops!I also did a photo shoot yesterday down at the pier. Senior photos for a young lady that we've known for most of her life. She is very beautiful but not

If you've been reading my posts, you will know that I have two extremely talented sisters. One, an interior decorator/organizer extraordinaire, and the other an illustrator/mega-talented artist. I am very excited to say that I have been, and am able, to work with them. My decorator sister posted on her blog about tags that she made as her thank you notes. http://sherricassaradesigns.blogspot.com/

I have never purchased an ad in the school's yearbooks for my kids so I thought for Mag's senior year, I would put in a 1/2 page tribute to her. After spending a day working on several types and designs, I put one together that I really liked. However, she didn't like the photo that I chose. I really should have known that it wasn't going to make her happy but I thought I could pull it off

"Clutter is a grand parade that follows us all our days from a playpen of toys...to the places we call home." A quote from the book; "A perfectly kept house is the sign of a misspent life" by Mary Randolph Carter. I have admitted to being polar opposites from my one sister, the interior designer. She is unbelievably talented in design, color and organization. My other sister and I have the great

I have been combing through old photographs that I have taken in the past years looking for some that I can post on my blog. Since my camera lenses are still in the shop for repairs, I wanted to at least post something. Funny though, I can't find any that I think are worthy. I've come to the conclusion that when we're on vacation, my husband's always in a hurry to get to the next place. We don't

A few months ago a friend of mine told me that there was a stray cat that had been saved but was in need of a home. She said he was about to be placed in a shelter if someone didn't take him soon. I couldn't imagine that and so I offered to keep him until he found a permanent residence. I won't get into the details, but the permanent residence turned out to be with us. He had been named Romeo

My son went on a snowboarding trip to the local mountains yesterday and filmed his runs with a new camcorder that sits on his helmet. We watched it today and it was really interesting to see the perspective and the interactions he had with other skiers. I had an epiphany.

I wanted to share a few families that are very dear to me. I was given the opportunity to take their family photos for their holiday cards. This first one was only a mock up of a Christmas card for them to see as an example. I didn't use the photo of them, but simply wanted to show them what one could end up looking like. The photo is 'two in one' like the example in the previous post. I faded

Here is a sample and instructions of a card that I'm made for a client. It shows how to use a regular sized photo (4x6) and turn it into a landscape photo. The end result is a 4x8 landscape card that easily slips into a #10 envelope. You can also do the same process with portraits 6x4's. Long card instead of wide. Works the same, just different placement of decorations.Here is where you take your

There's something very sad about Elizabeth Edwards' passing today. Not only was she just 61, but she was a mom.She had been in the hospital during Thanksgiving and opted out of any further treatments. I find it so very interesting that it was this very morning that the news was announcing that she had only about two weeks left. Does a doctor really know how much time one has remaining? Or, does

I've been reminded that it is time to get a Christmas card together for our friends and family. However, according to my hub, it is of utmost importance to get one out to his clients. I struggle with this so much for two reasons. One is that we rarely get a family photo taken during the year. He always want all of us in the photo. Don't know why. Can't imagine his clients need to see what I look

(She is working on a job for a client who's having a birthday party for her daughter. The theme is 'The Wizard of Oz". Be sure to check out all the incredible decorations and party ideas she's done for it. So incredible!)http://

Last night was our Field Hockey Banquet. It was very special as it was, for eight of the players, their last year with the team. Four years with field hockey and four of the best. The program at HB is outstanding. The coaches are exceptional. They teach the game well and treat the players with dignity and respect. In return the girls respect the coaches and work their hardest to achieve greatness

Happy Birthday Mags & Kate. My two girls birthday's are today. Twins. Four years apart.Maggie was due on the 2nd but hung in there until the 9th. Labor began on a Saturday (5AM) and Monday (1PM) she finally arrived. Not exactly the birthing experience one would want for the first one. Concerned doctors, Pediatric team waiting, husband stopping the recorder as the nurses are saying, come on baby,

I haven't posted on Watery Wednesday in a long time. Since it rained yesterday I thought I'd look for a water photo. I found this one that I took last month. A bird in a pond. He was watching me very closely and just as he put his one leg down, I snapped the photo and then he flew off. Visit: http://waterywednesday.blogspot.com/ for more wet photos.

I thought I'd give you the final conclusion of our 'water damaged' flooring. Final findings: No confirmed conclusions as to the source of the water. HA@! (The @ was a mistake in typing, but I thought I'd leave it...)

HA! It doesn't take much to get me excited, but I must say, THIS one really makes me happy! Thanks to Renee, our field hockey publicity mom. She submitted a photo of mine from our varsity field hockey tournament this past Saturday. The newspaper graciously mentioned my name as the photographer. If I was younger, I would have done a cartwheel!! I usually don't want recognition, but to have

I took photos of a few girls before they went to the high school's homecoming dance. Here is one of Mag's friends. She is so beautiful. I have to admit that I didn't even recognize her at first. I walked in and she already had her hair and make up done. She didn't greet me in her usual way and it threw me off! She doesn't look 17 at all!Here she is cheering on one of the teams as they played.

This is the last year that my daughter will be in High School. Her last year in National Charity League and the year she gets to be "Presented". Presentation in NCL is one big "Ball". She wears the big fluffy white dress (don't know whoever started that one...) and gets highlighted for her accomplishments. It is my last for many things, but so much more become the firsts for her.

Pound for pound, one great battle is the title of the article written by Steve Virgen from the LATimes. The article, posted in the Daily Pilot, featured the field hockey game played on Tuesday. It was a very intense game. Rival teams, Newport for us is the team to beat. Our Varsity coach, Kathy Van Doornum, is not a coach that is out there screaming directions to the girls. No, she is one who

This week was warmer than we're used to on the West Coast. And to make it worse, we traveled inland to sit on metal bleachers without any shade. However, the players were not hot at all... as long as they were playing.Here are some photos of them warming up. - My son; doing the butterfly.And then back and forth, back and forth, lap after lap...Who do you think is the one who seems to always get

Wow, another MAJOR accident. We back up to a very busy street and have had three horrible accidents in the last year. Tonight was one for the books. Imagine hearing a car bouncing on the street while its rolling over about six times. That is what I would have been involved in if it hadn't been for a voice in my head saying, don't go yet. My son had called asking to be picked up from school. I was

We did it! Sunday was the 1/2 marathon. Got no sleep; awake every 1/2 hour, was out of the house at 4:15 AM, out the gate at 6:20ish, (yes, our corral was in the back) and off we went! I'm thrilled to announce that none of us died, fell, or hurt too terribly bad afterward. It was so much fun. Disney had placements of entertainment all throughout the route and if that didn't encourage you to keep

Saturday I was at the HB pier doing a photo shoot just as the search and rescue lifeguards were looking for two young men that had been caught in the rip tide. It saddens me so much that they lost their lives at such a young age. My heart aches for their families. What really made me sad was that while all this was going on, life continued. I continued taking photos, kids continued to play on the

The Orange County fair is usually hot and crowded. Way too much for me, but since it never got hot I actually wanted to go. My daughter's boyfriend was playing with the high school band so we went and watched some incredibly talented teenagers sing and play for us all afternoon. They sang songs from the 70's, 80's, up to current. What energy and courage they have! Loved every minute of it. I

I haven't been posting this week. Been a bit on the busy side. But I did want to do Theme Thursday. It's 'children', so here is a photo that was taken at my niece's wedding last week. Titled, 'kick'in it'. She was so darling. She was the flower girl and wore boots with her dress. Awesome wedding. And an update:Looks like our floor problem is just that. A floor problem. Not a plumbing problem.

Good Morning! I want to bring a smile to everyone today by sharing a not-so-in-focus shot of a dog at a dog park in Atherton, CA. This is as close as I could get. The dog was a distance away and on the move. The pooch was running by so fast - the look on her face... serious business.The following collage will show you why.I hope it enlarges for you as I'm having difficulty getting them to lately.

Was using a straight saw to cut the hardwood flooring at the fourth bedroom as not to have to rip up that room. No buckles, no bulges, so we figured we were in the clear. Just as I was pulling the very last small section under the door jam, poof - moisture. So-- I decided since I was ALMOST done with all of what I was going to do, I'd see how far it went. I began pulling up slats in the fourth

Today's theme for Photo Friday (http://www.photofriday.com/) is "Best Friend". My first thought was the obvious. My dog. lol... but I wanted to be different so I asked myself, 'Self, what lately has been your best friend?'My camera came to mind. The first photo is of me with my camera taken by my daughter (tks Mags) and altered in photo shop. However, just to give you a laugh, my actual best

When I was a kid, we had a tortoise just like this one. His name was Checkers (obviously) and he loved our backyard. My dad had planted dichondra in between our concrete squares and oh my, how Checkers loved to munch. It would make my dad so irritated. One summer I remember seeing Checkers come out of hibernation but then he was gone. My dad said he saw him walking down the street. I asked why he

We went to the beach for some portraits and the sister had so much fun getting her feet wet. I couldn't resist posting one shot with her dress blown up by the wind.
