Oh my goodness I can’t believe how much she’s grown. What a little cutie.
Christmas decorations are going up right now all over town!! Have you put your tree up yet????
My friend Wendy has been patiently waiting for the the colorful Christmas decorations to be up so she could take family pictures at Balboa Park. Along with all of the decorations, some of the storefronts repainted the tiles in the Spanish Village…..the colors really P.O.P!
Wendy and Dominic have two of the cutest kids I have ever seen. They look a lot like my brother and me when we were little They were also absolute role models of good behavior!!! We brought some bubbles along and I swear, you’ll never see a happier face than a kid with bubbles.
Hopefully the pictures just make you smile..enjoy!
WOW! Thanksgiving in San Diego was absolutely gorgeous!!! I hope you all had a wonderful time spending it with friends and family.
I was extra excited about the beautiful weather because of Jack and Dinah’s wedding at The Dana on Saturday. I’m sure Jack and Dinah were a gazillion times more excited than I was. These two have been together for 20 years! W.O.W!
I overheard Jack say that he’s almost glad that they waited 20 years because he “could now appreciate this day… and Dinah even more”. I thought that was one of the sweetest things I have ever heard.
It turns out that mother nature had something else in mind for their Saturday wedding….RAIN.
It’s OK! It happens sometimes, all you can do is take it in stride like Jack and Dinah.
They were so happy to be getting married that the rain couldn’t spoil the joy of their day!
They decided to see each other for a “First Look” before the ceremony….it was really sweet and I love how the pictures turned out.
This was a fun wedding where the guests never left the dance floor!

Lisa - you always capture such strong emotion in your photography. The way the couple looks at one another is beautiful. Your wedding photography is so classic and timeless. Exactly how a wedding day should be remembered.
I got the most wonderful email yesterday from a past bride of mine, Michele, and I wanted to pass along a little excerpt to all of you…. that take the time to tune in to see what’s going on in my world. I appreciate the support and although I don’t know a lot of you…. I hope we get to meet someday.
Here’s how it went…
“If you woke up this morning and were able to hear the birds sing, use your vocal cords to utter human sounds, walk to the breakfast table on two good legs, and read the newspaper with two good eyes . . . you are more blessed than millions of those who could not do these simple things.
“If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation . . . you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
“If you can attend a church, synagogue or mosque meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death . . . you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
“If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep . . . you are richer than 75% of this world.
‘If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish some place . . . you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
‘If you are over thirty and either of your parents is still alive you are very rare. Over a billion people are orphans by then.
‘If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful . . . you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.”
The way I see it, giving thanks reminds us how blessed we are. This is not to say that you and I do not have problems. We do, but for us, our blessings far outweigh our burdens.”
With humble thanks to God, my mom, my husband, brother, my family and Ross’s family and all of my friends (you know who you are)…. for going on this ride of life with me. A huge special THANKS…to my clients, whom without, I would not be able to do what I love! You are ALL blessings in my life and I’m better to have known you
