These three girls are a trip! First of all, Mackenzie is near and dear to my heart, and watching her grow up and go on to USC has been a little tough. Nothing makes you feel older than be able to remember when someone is 8 years old then the next thing they are moving onto College. I thought I was the one who was 18 Anyway, I have learned to love her so much along with her sweet sweet friends! Thank you girls! xoxo

This is the final in a series featured on my blog. I have really enjoyed working with these two, they are the kind of people that make your heart smile. Thanks guys! xox

I took this photo in Costa Rica for Rob and Jennifer’s wedding back in 2007…(this was their rehearsal dinner, and probably one of my favorite photos) My husband and I went and had a mini vacation with our friends Ivy & Scott. Costa Rica had the best Mojito’s (You know we had to sample them everywhere we went ;)  plus it was the most beautiful country…I want to go back. xox
