Some people just have it. Destine *Senior Session* Riverside County
Posted on October 27, 2009
Destine is a student whom I’ve only known a few weeks. In those short weeks, I’ve learned some things from her and about her. For one thing, I’ve learned that some people just have IT. What is “IT?” I can’t seem to explain in words, I’ve tried. I’ve stared at this black cursor against white background, thinking of the best way to explain “IT.” Well I’ve given up, I’m just going to show you what IT looks like…


See what I mean? She’s got it!
Destine is a proud member of the class of 201o, and owner of mixed emotions. Happy that college and independence is on the horizon, sad that high school is coming to an end, excited about the future to come. I’ve learned from her that it’s okay to feel all of this at once.

I’ve learned that Destine is a girl who wants everyone around her to be happy.
She is ever the peacemaker, the compromiser, the constant pleaser.




I’ve learned that Destine is the dreamer of big dreams and that she will settle for no less.












Destine, I had tons of fun on this Senior photo session! I want to leave you with one of my favorite quotes…
“Aim for the moon, even if you miss, you’ll be among the stars.”
Have a great senior year!

Lazy Saturdays
Posted on October 18, 2009
Fridays are usually the most anticipated days of the week because of the promise of rest and relaxation to come over the weekend. Weekends have been busy and full lately, but yesterday was a great day because our little family had NO plans! None! We had nowhere to be and nothing to do. It was a little slice of heaven presented to me on a little plate with cream cheese frosting on top!
Here is what day of nothing looks like:
Lucy and I played in the yard…

We hung out on the porch…

this is her “Mommy, no more pictures” smile…

I just had to squeeze one more, glad I did too, it was my favorite shot of the day!

Then we made princess necklaces…

then she and daddy painted a horse…



I had the best day with the loves of my life!

It’s going to take me a little bit to go through each one of the shots because I just love them all! Here are my faves so far…stay tuned for more! Trust me, you don’t want to miss this.

“My Jake”
Posted on October 6, 2009
My little girl has a best friend, his name is Jake. He’s about a year younger than Lucy but she just adores him! She calls him, “My Jake.” My best friend, Christina, who also happens to be Jake’s mom, were wondering about how they would be in the future. Would they be best friends? Would they be awkward as teenagers? We figured, they would be most likely have a brother/sister relationship. I predict that a typical conversation would be like this:
One of Lucy’s friends: “Hey Lucy, your friend Jake is hot!”
Lucy: “Ewww gross!”
Here’s gorgeous Jake, Lucy’s Jake.





Just have to throw one in of Lucy…

and the big brother who watches over them both, Miles…
