Vacation!!

Nick and I were so blessed to have this amazing opportunity to go on a four night cruise (with no kids!) to Catalina Island and Ensenada!  In 4.5 years we have only left the boys a few times, and never for more than 2 nights.  We had an amazing time.   We spent one of the days cruising on a golf cart in Catalina.  Such a great little island.  But my fav day was when we decided to stay on the ship instead of going to Ensenada.  All we did was lounge by the pool and relax.  It felt so good because I was able to relax.  I have a hard time doing that.  I was able to relax and not feel guilty or think about what I need/should to be doing!  So awesome.   So here are some pictures from our trip.  I had some fun editing them with some new actions I bought from Eye Candy Actions and Totally Rad Actions.  Check them out...I love them!

I just like the color of this over hang on the boat + I love to use the  texture action.

The slide to the pool on the ship.

Catalina Island Harbor

I would be very happy only taking pictures of flowers.

These tiles are all over the island...I love them!

Mona Lisa - Newborn Portraits

This is Mona Lisa.  I did maternity pictures for Moncia & Rick in March.  She is a cutie pie and so behaved! :)  Barely a week old and barely 5 lbs. she is teeny tiny too!  Here are a few of my favs from the day.  Thanks guys...it was great seeing you again!

Lucinda & Sal are married!

OMGosh!  This wedding was so fun.  They were married at the beautiful St. Margaret's in Oceanside.  Then their reception was at the beautiful and unique Rancho Buena Vista Adobe.   I met Lucinda at their home for the getting ready shots.

Getting pretty.

Her ring was gorgeous!

I loved the rustic feel of Rancho Buena Vista Adobe.
