Sometimes you just have to wear nothing but a bathing suit for 3 days, go on a burger and beer diet and dance the night away. (under a disco ball with duck tape wrapped around it in the middle of the lake). Sometimes you just have to let it all hang out! Well that's just what I did this past weekend. I sang, I danced, I jumped and I laughed for 3 days straight. The result? A sore back, a sunburn and a happy heart. And I'd do it all again in a beat.
Yea, it was a houseboat trip, with 20 twenty-somethings just looking for a good time. Haha, but somehow the joy it brought me carried over for days after our return, reminding me that the only true joy we have comes from people and the good times that we share.
It's easy to get wrapped up in the day-to-day tasks and stress we have and forget to realize how good we have it and how truly fun some moments in life can be. Enjoy it!

1st Day of August

08.08.10

A beautiful Venice morning and a beautiful couple - that's about all I need to say for this one. Nat and Anina are two of the coolest people you could ask for. Their laid-back attitude made shooting their engagement session a breeze - I had so much fun with them. I'm very much looking forward to their Malibu wedding in a few weeks. Congratulations Nat and Anina.

Love the one where they're sitting on the ground in front of the blue door looking at the camera. They look like a couple of musicians. Very cool.

Bachelorette Weekend. Too Sweet.

07.28.10

It suddenly occurred to Kate & I last Tuesday night as we glittered and rhinestoned a few dollar store T-shirts at midnight. We only get to do this so many times, throw bachelorette parties that is. I'm so blessed to have as many amazing girlfriends as I do, but when one of the special girls gets married, you just got to do it up. : ) The weekend was filled with sunshine, palm trees, convertables, bachelorette poker, margaritas, rooftops, cowboy boots and true friends.

It reminded me how far we've came together and how much farther we have to go. The bride to be, Kelley, is the type of the person that just radiates joy. She said to me yesterday, "chris - you just got to be in the moment and enjoy it ya know - no matter what." Ahh, Kel you are so right and I couldn't be more excited for you, Matty & what the future has in store for you.

The whole weekend was a reminder of the blessings that surround us right here and right now.

I hope all my sisters find the love that Kel has and the celebrations only get better. love you girls.

A million 'thank you's' Chris...for all that you do! This was a weekend that I will never forget: time spent with my best friends talking about life, love and happiness. Laughing hysterically about things that aren't even funny. This photo collage about sums it ALL up :) I love it!

Ain't love grand?

07.15.10

Emily and Chad are two of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. They had no idea when they were kids in baseball uniforms that the love of their life was standing right next to them in team pictures. They met in t-ball, but it wasn't years later until they fell in love. I had the best time hanging out and taking pictures of them on a beautiful Medford morning. Congratulations you guys!!

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

06.29.10

9 years in the making and it's finally official - Smitty and Kel-Bel are tying the knot! To those of us lucky enough to have grown up with these two, it comes as no surprise that they end up happily ever after. They're the kind of couple that balances one another just right - they laugh often and love much. They are beyond special individually, two of the kindest people you will ever meet, but together I think they're some kind of an all-star team. : ) I've been lucky enough to watch them grow through the years into amazing young adults that i have no doubt will do big things. (I'm getting choked up guys and it's still 3 months until the wedding!) I love you both so much and can't explain how happy I am for you. September 17th, 2010 is a big one. Can't wait!
