"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves"- William ShakespeareWe are forever learning from our mothers and grandmothers. They are the strong, beautiful women who mold us into the people we have become. For those lucky enough to still have grandparents able to attend your big day, you might want to consider a three generations portrait.

It is finally summer and I'm excited. Summer time in San Diego is always perfect. Here are few things I have been doing lately. I hope they inspire you. Happy Weekend.Dreaming Of: Years ago, Mike and I shot Whitney and Greg's wedding in Anchorage, Alaska on summer solstice. They had a baby then, but now, there's another on the way. I love following our clients on Facebook and seeing their families grow. Sending lots of hugs your way. Cheers to more babies.
Creating: A series of underwater images. I'm loving the challenges that shooting underwater comes with. I'm learning to hold my breath longer and judge distances to focus on our manual focus film camera. I've got to tell you I miss through the lens focusing.
Listening To: Jackie and Kim's Wedding CD. It's amazing. I love getting my hands on people's mixed tapes. It's an art in itself.
Celebrating: Recently my younger brother welcomes his first born into the world. I'm an aunt. I just met him today. It was love at first sight.

We interviewed Courtney Bright of Brightly Designs to find out what she is inspired by today, her craziest road trip, and who her first grade school crush was. Courtney is the most amazing paper designer, friend, and person. Get to know her a little better, you'll want to.Road trips that stick out to you? Towing a U-Haul from NY to SD with two cats, a great dane, and my sister. That was a crazy one.
Most surprising client request? Chloe and Grant asked me to make a swing for their wedding. I did it!
Something people don't know about you? If I wasn't doing Brightly Designed, I would work at the San Diego Zoo.
First grade school crush? His name was Lee, and he had white blonde hair. I was terrified when he held my hand.
5 things that inspire you today? nature, bold colors, sunshine, estate sales, Ella.
If you had a store what would you sell? I would sell antiques by the beach with an open store front. Basically the building would be Annette Gomez's studio.
Finally, if you had $40, 900 to spend on a trip, where would you go and what would you do? I would drive a motor home throughout the midwest and purchase 40,000 dollars worth of antiques.
Thanks for sharing Courtney.

“And in her smile I see something more beautiful than the stars.” -Beth RevisIt was a pleasure to photograph Jen and Kombiz on their wedding day. Their love for each other is beautiful and sincere, it's difficult not to get swept away with them. Sending them lots of love in the years to come.
