After a recent trip to Pei Wei, Cooper made this fortune for me…
Glamour and excitement, you say? Today is shaping up to be pretty awesome.

…that the best part of shooting at the beach is under the pier. There’s something about the way the light comes in. I know I’ve mentioned that before, but it’s also the pillars of the pier. Seal Beach has amazing wood pillars and I found out the Huntington has perfectly grungey cement. The depth of field is perfect, the sun flare, need I go on??
Brice and Lindsey also happen to be the cutest engaged couple in Huntington Beach…
They will be getting married in Dallas this May…woo hoo!
Lindsay is actually an aspiring photographer, so I was talking as I was shooting (dangerous combo, I know!) telling her what I was doing, my settings, etc. I even let her take some pictures of me to try it out…sorry no shares of those pictures, my hair was a little wind-crazy! But, then I turned the camera on her…and I will share those!! She’s adorable. FYI, these were taken on top of the pier.
In other news, this morning the rain was pelting down…the hardest we’ve seen since we’ve lived here. So, do we curl up under a blanket with hot cocoa? NO. Brent turns on the jacuzzi and we sit out in the pouring cold rain. It was a fun way to kick off our weekend!

It’s almost done! The set for this weekend is coming along nicely. Today involved painting with glitter and tracking down a mirrored stool.
I took a few test shots and here are the results…
In color, you can really see the details of the hand-painted canvas.
I wanted the back drop to be really soft and romantic…since it is Valentine’s Day! But, I also wanted it to be fairly neutral. As you can see, it works well with a variety of colors for clothing. Along with the mirrored stool, I’ll also be bringing a few rustic benches and a red velvet tufted chair.
I’ll keep you updated as we pull the last few details together! I’m looking forwared to an amazing weekend at Rascals to Rebels!!
