Take a peek inside the home of Missy + Ryan to see how they welcomed home their new son, Sawyer. These two are the sweetest of parents and I was so thankful to them for letting me in to their private life.

Missy and Ryan have been long-time clients of mine since they hired me for their wedding back in 2010. It's safe to say they're much more to me now ... I like to consider us friends. When I heard they were expecting a baby boy my heart soared! These two deserve nothing but happiness and a sweet bundle of joy to fill their home.

My nephew, James, is by far the cutest little man I know. He's also quite meticulous. If you look closely at these photos you'll see that he carries his little cars around in a green bag, then takes each car out one-by-one to place them in a line. It doesn't matter if that line is vertical or horizontal ... it just needs to be a line. As he's placing the cars in a line he names them. Once they're all lined up he does a final count and laughs like a maniac at his masterpiece, then starts all over again. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen.

I'm not typically one to gush over Valentine's Day, but as I was looking through old photos last night I came across these two beauties. I simply couldn't resist telling you my lovey-dovey dating story about the day these photos were taken! They were taken in August 2008, and on this particular day we drove down to the LA Diamond District. At the time we were living in Santa Barbara so we thought it would be a great adventure to go ring shopping together. Hours and hours went by, and several bargaining deals later we bought my engagement ring! Well, we paid for the ring but it wouldn't be ready for a few weeks ... so we left empty-handed, but our hearts were so, so full. In our minds it was the day we became unofficially officially engaged. I'll never forget that experience looking for the perfect ring and that weekend down in LA with Paul. 

So today on this Valentine's Day I want to tell my dearest Paul how much I love him. Muah!
