Wow...when I sat down to write this post, I am blown away by the amount of thankfulness I feel. I am thankful for the life I have...my family because they keep me grounded and real, my friends for their encouragement and continuous support, my health, my faith, and my clients...without my clients, I would not be living my dream profession...I love my job and the lives that I touch. I couldn't ask for anything better. A friend of mine sent me an email this morning about a daughter going away to school and saying goodbye to her mother at the airport..."I love you and wish you enough" When she said , 'I wish you enough', she wanted her mom to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain her. So today, I wish all of you enough. To never want too much. Enough to be content and happy with the blessings in your life! Life.Is.Good. Really.Good. Thank you to everyone that is a part of my life. This is a picture of my sister, Barbara, with my son Cole!

Even though Iris and Caesar are getting married in two weeks at Rancho Las Lomas, we still found time to squeeze in an engagement session with them.  I just have to say that I am so excited to work with the both of them!  As high school sweethearts, it was no surprise at how comfortable they were with each other, and they could literally just look at each other and start laughing! We had an absolute blast with each other, and I really think they shine in front of the camera! Check out the fun: It started to get a little sexy...Iris knows how to work it! Looking forward to your big day on December 1st!!!
