BRULÉE PHOTOGRAPHY

Happy Holidays everyone!!!!

I am so excited to post the rest of Kelly’s family photos, enjoy! 

A Nintedo Wii.  The best thing about the Wii is that it even appeals to the video game haters out there, myself included.  There are so many different types of games that it would be hard not to find one that fits your fancy.  My personal favorite is bowling and golf, but I am really excited to try Wii Fit and Wii Music.

SNOW.  I feel like everyone has it but me! I just called my mom in Portland and they have 8 inches…    

A wine club membership.

I LOVE wine.  In the last few years I have developed a taste for higher quality wines and am pretty excited about it.  The only problem is that I am not too educated on which wines I like the most.  I would be so pumped to get different varieties of wine each month in the mail.  Not only do they send you info on the wine, some services even give you your very own consultant!

Also, I didn’t realize the amount of clubs there are!  I would love to join the Hot Sauce club, Cheese club, and Salsa club…mmm

I can’t believe Christmas is only a week away!  I have been scrambling to find the best gifts for family and friends and thinking a lot about what is on my own wish list.  This year, my list is a little different.  It’s a list of things I want, not now, not for Christmas, but things I want at some point.  I love thinking about this stuff because it inspires me to work a little harder and push myself a little further. 

So, #1…

A Vespa.  I feel like this trend is over but honestly I don’t care.  I would love to travel the streets of south bay in a little pink (super cheesy I know) Italian motorscooter.  Can you see it?

I grew up receiving holiday cards with photos of families buried in the snow or surrounded by fallen leaves.  Here in SoCal, things are a little different! Check out more of the fun pics from Christina’s holiday card shoot…

The four of us hit up one of my favorite locations today for their family shoot.  They showed up with the best outfit coordination I’ve seen!  I am clearly obsessed with Quinn, but him in argyle makes my heart melt.  Here is one of my favorites so far… 

Today Christina and I took her dogs down to the beach in Hermosa to work on her Christmas card photo.  We were crunched for time, but we got some cute shots.  They are so precious, couldn’t even pick a teaser!

I decided the best way to express how wonderful my mom’s wedding was is to list the highlights of the event.

5. It was the most beautiful day I have seen in Portland since I can remember, perfectly crisp and sunny.

4. I gained a sister. Carrie is a sweet, super fun girl. I am really looking forward to getting to know her better.  If Saturday was any sign, I think we’ll get along juuuuust fine.

3. I gained a huge family. I mean HUGE. HUGE and CLOSE. I love it.

2. I got to see and catch up with my own family and friends. There is nothing like home sweet home.

1. I got to see my mother at the happiest she has been in a long time. She is always a happy lady but Saturday she had an extra giddiness that was simply refreshing. I am thankful that Danny is her life…and mine now too.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to take many photos and missed some of the couple so look out for more to come…






The girlies…

I’m getting cold just thinking about stepping out of baggage claim in Portland today.  I guess I really have gotten used to this Southern California weather because its forcasted to be in the low 50’s during the day…I think I can deal.  The best part is no rain; it must be mother nature’s wedding gift to my mom.  I can’t wait to see everyone, specially my ecstatic mom at the ceremony!  These are some photos from my last holiday trip brrrrrrr.
