GROWING UP : PRINCESS CANOPY BEDS

The World is a canvas & our imagination is the paint brush. As children, our minds are wide open.

You don't quite get that 'til you become a Parent & have the opportunity to witness the amazing journey children are on from this vantage point...from their 1st steps to talking - from loving to coping with situations...every single 'thing' is a 1st at some point & it's quite awe inspiring!

Okay, Okay - I could get all philsophical here for days on ya..

I really just wanna send an extra special THANK YOU to Joanna at Princess Canopy Beds for creating such a spectacularly sweet addition to our little girls room! What a magical way for her to work on her canvas!

I know she is going to cherish her new space for hours upon hours of Fantasy Adventure for yrs to come! LOVE IT! xo

UKIAH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : ST MARYS CHURCH : BRUTOCAO CELLARS WINERY

Raaain, Rain - go away...or stay...whatever works!! "-)

Of course, for Vince & Michelle - nothing was about to damper this most elegant day! And I felt so honored to have been selected to share it with them - it was amazing!

Arriving for an early start, the Ladies were treated to Hair by Bella Vita Salon & make-up by MAC - and for that I THANK YOU! The girls all looked PHENOMENAL!!!

After all the formalities, we were on our way to Brutocao Schoolhouse Plaza for the kick-start to one fun, crazy & upbeat evening EVERYONE enjoyed! What a perfect way to share the day!!

Ask ANY of their Brides & you'll hear it's a special treat to get a booking with Dena @ Dandelion Floral! THANK YOU again for your GORGEOUS creations!! From the Bliss Room to the Floral design - it was just 'spot on'!

Now - I must admit ... when Michelle decided it was time to make her transformation into 'party girl' all it took was a little swoosh of the hair, a moment to pop on her dress & she was ready to WORK IT! ALL eyes were on her...and tongues on the floor...! LOVE it, hottie!

Then - - it was time to Paaar-taaaay!!! The Soul Train line!? Oh yah...DJ Larry knew the PERFECT way to get the crowd going!! "-)

Driving home from Sat. night's Wedding, I realized something about why I just adore doing this job...it's the People. It's the Families. For one day, I get to become a part of that Family - that circle of love & emotion & sharing. It's pretty darn AMAZING!! xo
