KNITTING + SNEAK PEEKS
This weekend I tried my hand at knitting. Luckily, my mom was kind enough to give me and my girls a tutorial. Her fast hands make it look really easy, but I assure you it is complex to a beginner! Apparently, I am awkward, Christine makes things extra complicated, and Tine stitches in circles. If we had to knit our way to warmth, we would die. Frozen. Together, of course.
Let’s just say I probably won’t have a scarf until December of 2011. At least not one made entirely by me. : )
Before I try to correct my awful left stitch, here are a few sneaks:
Cutie patootie Ethan…
Kate and Ben’s beautiful wedding…
Annnnnd since today is Monday, here is a macro shot of an oriental lily. Flowers can be so ornate!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!!

KING KOOPA
Cooper has acquired many names…King Koopa, Mini Cooper, Coop-a-loop, Coopie. He has completely stolen my heart these past few weeks. We have had many adventures.
-He is potty trained, hooray! The events leading up to this have been interesting. One involving me frantically chasing him to go outside and him rolling on his back and peeing OVER his head. It was 6am. I was not amused. : )
-He has a new best friend! I need to get a shot of him carrying it around because it’s hysterical.
-He does not play well with other dogs. Cute ones, big ones, small ones, other dachshunds, Hurley girls, nope, not having it. People though, yes. He will cuddle with you until he has convinced you to steal him.
-He is really needy, which I’m not used to in a dog. Like, me showering in another room is. a. tragedy. TRAGEDY. This neediness is fun when cuddling on the couch though, I’ll give him that!
-Today, we tried to train him to use a dog door, you know, to go hand in hand with the potty training. You can see how annoyed he is haha…
Overall, he is a really good dog. I adore his short legs, big feet, puppy dog eyes, and sweet demeanor.
Love, love, love you Cooper (because clearly, he reads the blog)!
Hope you have a good week!

AND THE WINNER IS…
Ok, let me first say that I am NOT made to be in front of the camera. I mean really, I messed up 527 times just recording a <2 minute video! Unreal. A few of the many outtakes are at the end…if you make it there haha. I started out much more enthusiastic, promise! And the still frame chosen is just lovely, yikes!
Let’s get to it, the winner of the free shoot is…

LABOR OF LOVE + A FREE SHOOT
Ok, to be totally honest, I thought this day would never come. Change here, change there, change everywhere. I thought I would never make up my mind. Ever. Luckily, I have settled and I am so excited to share my new website! Maybe slightly scared too. In addition to never thinking I would finish the website, I never thought I would have one. Never thought I would need one. Never thought I would call myself a PHOTOGRAPHER. (Still working on that one!!) Never thought I would run a business, just never thought, ya know? So, for these reasons, and 5 million more, this is really exciting!
I created the website using SHOWIT software. It allows you to create a custom website without having to know html. It’s incredible, and if you are looking to build a website that is unique to you, CHECK IT OUT! Now. For real.
With out further ado, I give you my WEBSITE!! <— CLICK IT : )
Photography has opened my eyes to fully appreciating and living life. I am continually blown away by the amazing clients and fellow photographers I have met over the past year and a half. Like, seriously blown away.
To celebrate the past, present, future, and the new digs, I want to give away a portrait session. Here are the rules…
1. TO ENTER: Leave a comment below (including your email — it’s NOT published) and tell me something about the life that YOU love.
2. The session must take place before the end of 2010 in San Diego County. 2011 is sneaking up fast!
3. It includes 1-2 hours of shooting at a location of your choice and a disk of images! (Limited to 4 people).
4. Submit your entry by 6pm PST.
5. The winner will be paw drawn by Mr. Cooper himself and announced Friday, November 12th!
Can’t wait to see what happens!

Happy Friday!!

TWO SIX
Today I celebrated my 26th birthday with the people I love, birthday cake, and a new pooch.
I adopted my newest love Cooper! I’m not sure if it was the fact that they had the dogs outside in the cold drizzly weather or that it was my birthday, but I did it. I wasn’t planning on acquiring a dog, but once I saw his eyes, he had me. I don’t know what his past 4 years leading up to being rescued were like, but I know I can make the next 4 years the best of his life. I’m so excited to have this little cutie in my life! I mean, look at those big floppy ears!! Looooove!
Annnnd just so I don’t forget how I feel today. : )
HAPPINESS IS…
Adorable monkeys….
Other monkies…
Beautiful flowers…
Good grub!
Hope you had a fabulous week!!

GRATEFUL
I’m so grateful to be able to regularly spend time with family. This weekend dad and I had a date to see BB King and Buddy Guy. It was part two to his Father’s Day gift and I think he enjoyed himself. : )
Dad, thank you for, well, everything. I don’t know where I would be with out your love and support. Oh, and bringing ladders over in the rain, fixing toilets, and chasing ants away. : ) Love you dad!!
It’s the little moments that make life beautiful!

MAJESTIC
I made it out to Birch Aquarium this weekend and kind of fell in love with the seahorses. The species are so distinctly different, yet equally majestic in their movement. Plus, the males deliver the babies. : )
Hope Monday went easy on ya! : )
