"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on camera is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. "

Throwback to this wonderful winter wonderland snowy elopement with an amazing team of creatives ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On a different note: I was reminded by my Step-daughter that there is 11 more weeks until summer break! ☀️🥳 Which means this Momma gets to sleep in 🙌🏽🤸🏽‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is so much we are looking forward to this summer. 😁 What is one thing you are looking forward to this summer besides the beach? 🏖 -

“A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms.” 🌼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With the #superbloom all around my neighborhood, we couldn’t pass up the chance of shooting in some of the beautiful flowers. Another sunrise shoot in the books, Rain is always down to wake up at the crack of dawn for some amazing photos. Although, we were both ready for a nap at the end of our shoot, we knew the photos would be worth the early morning call time. 🌄

Unfortunately, due to the major crowds that have visited the super bloom the past two weekends, the city of Lake Elsinore has temporarily closed access to visitors and the poppy fields are now off limits. 🙁

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! 🍀
Learned something new today... I always thought St. “PaTTy’s” Day was the shortened version of this celebrated holiday...Apparently I have been wrong all these years... 🤦🏽‍♀️ It’s St. “PaDDY’s” Day! Shoot, who else have been saying it incorrectly? 🤭

Who else survived the “Facebook/Instagram black out” yesterday? 😯

It’s so crazy how dependent we are on social media nowadays. It’s a little embarrassing actually. I kept refreshing and trying to post the same content for about 8 hours. 🙈

I scold my kids about limiting their technology use, but I am just as guilty! 🤦🏽‍♀️ How did we survive before social media? Note to self: Limit social media use ✔️ -
