hunter the senior...

i can't believe this is my baby baby brother
he is all grown up
funny thing is
we look nothing alike
which isn't fair...

look at those dreamy blue eyes
& can't forget those jet black lashes
girls will swoon

hopefully when i have babies that they'll inherit those pretty eyes

more to come...

the hardest part...

i have been planning & brainstorming for quite some time

needing to get out & shoot something that would bring me out of my winter rut 

i wanted to do a winter shoot to show how beautiful the snow can be 

my wonderful friend was my inspiration

her face...ahh...flawless beauty

i styled the hair, makeup, & attire

this was an all film shoot

the photograph below is digital though

i only took a couple so that we could see what it was going to look like

my scans won't be here for awhile

& that's the hardest part

so i'm glad i got a shot to ease my patience...

thank you keshia for your beautiful spirit & friendship

even though the dress ripped

worried if the ice fishers were staring at your frozen tushie

snot was running out of our noses

standing on a frozen lake wondering if we were going to fall in

& can't forget our frost bitten toes

it was memorable my friend

again...thank you for trusting me

a glimpse...

happy love day...

happy V day everyone!

hope you reach out to all your loved ones today

definition of love

i love love

valentines is a day to celebrate LOVE

without love 

there is no such thing as life

love makes the world go round

be kind & share love with one another

right now josh & i are living with our dear friends temporarily 

we are so thankful for the wonderful people they are to let us into their home

were hoping to get a house when josh graduates this april from nursing school

but for now our little room is our home

i love to decorate for holidays & celebrations

here's a little glimpse of our v-day room

& i can't forget my little furry pups

their both my valentines today

& they wanted to blow you all kisses 

the love i have for pocket & monday is like another kind of love

they are so dear to my heart

i know the man above sent me these 2 wonderful spirits for a reason

especially at this time in my life

they have gotten me through a lot of hard & lonely times

their my babies

& i will forever be their mumma

hugs xoxo kisses xoxo

bakers beach...

last day in san francisco...
i was so sad it was over.
but loved every second spent.

we got to see the golden gate bridge from bakers beach. we found out after we left the beach that it was a nude beach...oh boy. i've never seen a nudey & i'm glad we didn't spot one haha
but the golden gate bride...twas breathtaking
it boggles my mind that man made it. it's massive & quite extraordinary!

the beach was very romantic.
in the images below it was sooooo dark. so yes...i cranked up my iso
i love the images & so happy i could get some side by side with my one & only...
grainy goodness for me
& i'm appreciating blurry images more & more

i'm so grateful that i got this time with my husband in san fran.
probably my favorite vacation so far to date.

i can't wait to walk, smell, & feel you again lovely city
till next time...

p.s. i haven't been posting very much because i have been working on something. something special. & this blog will be one of my personal outlets. exciting & honest things. stay tuned.

damian & alisha wed...
