Love birds... that's what Nicole and Jessica's friends call them. After eight years, they still steal kisses and sweet glances at each other. After eight years, they are still mad for each other. After eight years, they bound their love together on a hilltop above Los Angeles as the sun set.

Yesterday afternoon I received a box of happiness from UPS. Actually, it was from Matthew over at A Fine Press and inside was my new letterpress business cards and thank you notes plus a way cool wax seal.







I found A Fine Press through another blog somewhere and once I saw he had created a wax seal for someone else, I knew he was my guy. I've had a few ideas for my new branding for some time and I want to thank you, Matthew, for collaborating with me on my notes and vision and running with it. And thank you for putting up with me too during those times when I'd ask you to move something over a pixel! lol You rock!

I'm always so happy when my clients get up early for great light. And when there are teenagers involved, I'm really grateful! lol Lisa told me later that her kids actually said they had fun! Always my goal with portraits!






Small world moment... Don and I worked together in the film industry about 15 years ago and lost touch. When Lisa showed him my site, he said he thought he knew me! Love it!
