Finally!

I've had this project on my to-do list for about 2 months, and I (finally!) forced myself to take a little time away this week to work on finishing up my new blog! I'm pretty happy with it, and can't wait for you all to see it... so - check back tomorrow!

I just arrived back home to San Diego, so I will be catching up on emails and phone calls today. And to my amazing clients, thanks for your patience the past few weeks with the craziness of my travel schedule. :) I will be posting tons of images from my recent shoots on my new blog in the coming weeks... so if you're wondering if I'll be posting some, the answer is yes! I've been waiting to post my recent shoots because I wanted them to be displayed on my brand new blog. (yay!)

Beauty

I just wanted to share a quote I read recently from the book "Do You Think I'm Beautiful" by Angela Thomas. This book really struck a chord with my heart, and I wanted to share a portion of it here:

"Our thinking has been shaped by junior high taunting, unflattering words from people we love, magazines in waiting rooms, cosmetic counters at the mall, the big screen and the little screen and now the computer screen- all teaching us how to think as the world thinks. I mean, how can we not buy in? After twenty or thirty or forty years of watching and reading and listening, we’ve really believed this stuff. Essentially, we’ve been brainwashed. Wrinkles should be injected. Breasts should be augmented. Muscles should be ripped. ... For heaven’s sake, where is it written? Where is it written that what the world calls beautiful is correct?”

Every woman's heart whispers this question: "do you think I'm beautiful?" And the answer is a resounding YES! Yes, you are beautiful- just as you are! Just a little something to think about. Check out the following videos from Dove...
