Sam & Leor | Engagement Session at ASU

 I LOVE engagement sessions that just work. Ones that I can’t wait to get home to see the images because we truly had such a fun time.

This is Sam and Leor. They are extremely cute together, met at ASU, and I can’t wait until their wedding in the spring; it’s going to be Fabulous!

Since Sam and Leor met at ASU we decided to take their engagement pictures on campus. We had so much fun, although it a record heat day in Phoenix. I love how these turned out.

Also, watch the video at the end of this post done by Serendipity Videography. It’s pretty amazing!

 

 

I’m also so excited to show you an amazing video that Serendipity put together of the engagement shoot. This is their Save the Date Video that they offer and it turned out so great. Basically when we do your engagement session they tag along and create a video of it. Such a very cool idea and I LOVE how this turned out. If you don’t have a videographer yet for your wedding check out Serendipity Videographer. You won’t regret it.

Starbucks | Favorite Friday: These are a few of my favorite things…

 

Next Favorite thing on the list is…..STARBUCKS…… Those who know me well know that I am actually allergic to caffeine, so while you won’t see me sipping a caffeine laden starbucks drink, you will see me drinking my favorite decaf sensation. I’ve always loved my espresso and starbucks holds a special place in my heart because it was there that I had my first true coffee; a Raspberry Latte. It was back in the old days of college, in 1997 when starbucks, to me, was a brand new adventure. My friend Juan took me there (Triangle Square in Costa Mesa, CA) and ordered for me because I had NO clue what I should get, and I fell in love with that wonderful place that smelled of coffee beans.

Now I go because of their starbucks Gold Card. For those of you who know what the Gold card is, you understand… for those of you who don’t know… you should know.. it will change your life!

My sister introduced me to the starbucks gold card because she is a coffee addict like me. Basically when you register a starbucks card and use it for all your purchases you get free things, like free drinks on your birthday. When you buy 30 drinks within a year you get moved up to the Gold Status, which means that for every 15 drinks you purchase you get a free one. This is great, because I don’t like spending $5 on a drink, so I get coffee and americano’s for $3 or under and then after 15 of those I get to order any drink I want, like a Carmel Macchiato or a Carmel Mocha Salted Frappachino (heaven)!!!

They also have a very sweet app on the iPhone that allows you to use your gift card on your phone so I never need cash. I just pull up the app and they scan the barcode on my phone and I walk out with drink in hand. It’s Genious.

So, you might be wondering what my drinks of choice are? Well here you go listed in no favorite order since they are all super yummy!!!

  • Venti Decaf Carmel Macchiato
  • Venti Decaf Iced Americano with No water, add 1/2 and 1/2 and 2 packets of Splenda
  • Venti Decaf Pumpkin Spice latte with a pumpkin scone (if I want to add the calories that day… usually I avoid them at all costs because they are soooo yummy)
  • Venti Decaf Carmel Frappacchino (also my daughters drink of choice – yes she does drink coffee… but only decaf)
  • Venti Decaf Salted Carmel Mocha Frappachino (a new favorite)

 

So now you know one more random thing about my life… get ready because every friday there will be something more!!!

If you ever shoot a wedding with me and we get off early and there is a starbucks around I will buy you a drink… unfortunately they all close so early now a days that I very rarely get my nightly coffee, but when I do it’s a perfect ending to a great day!!

What is your favorite drink at Starbucks? Do you have the same obsession?

Little Miss Eliana | Newborn Portrait Photographer

Sometimes when I arrive to a clients house I find perfection and with this little girl that is what I found. Perfect perfection. Of course, when you look at who her parents are you will see why. Erica and Justin’s photo hangs in the window of my studio and Erica is also the beautiful smiling bride in my ad, so little miss E kinda has some great genes, and naturally is pretty beautiful. Put that and then the cute amazing outfits that Erica found on Etsy and there you go, baby perfection.

Enjoy these gorgeous pictures of little Miss E.

THE IPHONE | Favorite Friday: These area few of my favorite things.

I’ve decided that on Friday’s I’m going to do get a little more personal and do a blog post about the different things that I love. I’m hoping that by sharing some of the things that I love you will be able to find out more about me and hopefully also get some great tips or ideas for new things for you! So to start off this series we are going to talk about the Iphone, since today I’m hopefully getting my new 4S and I’m eagerly awaiting it!

WHY I LOVE THE IPHONE

If you haven’t heard already I’m a techy geek. I LOVE techy things and love gadgets. The ladies at my husbands office often laugh and can’t understand why he wouldn’t buy me a new coach purse or flowers on my birthday. He tells them that I’ve told him I don’t want those things and am only interested in technical gadgets. They don’t believe him, but it’s true. If you were to give me a choice between a coach purse and the newest apple gadget, I, 95% of the time, would pick the gadget, it’s just how I’m made:).

I know there are a ton of phones out there and there are probably some really great ones, but I have to say that I am 100% devoted to the iPhone. Before the IPhone came out I was using a Treo from Sprint so that I could get my email. Email never worked and browsing the internet was pretty much a joke. I knew there had to be more out there than a stylus pen and a slow slow phone that tried to be more, and then I saw that apple was coming out with their IPhone. I was one of the first to buy the IPhone and I haven’t been disappointed. It has completely changed my life and changed the way I do everything.

Some of the things I LOVE about my IPhone are:

* I’m able to check my email from anywhere in the country. This is wonderful for business and also horrible because I am accessible pretty much all the time.
* I’m able to go online and google random little things such as “when I’m pregnant, can I eat …….” This came in very handy when I was pregnant with Kailee.
* The apps make my life easier.
* My iPhone became my iPod so I didn’t have to have 2 separate devices, and it has a built in speaker so I can listen to music and audio books whenever I want.
* My daughter can play Angry Birds whenever she’s bored out of her mind and many other games.
* Everything syncs up to all of my macs seamlessly!!
* It has become my camera of choice on vacations and family outings and I don’t have to lug around my huge camera:):)
* I can read my bible or a book on my phone anytime I want.
* I can check the weather and the sunset for a shoot to determine when to start a session or if it’s going to rain on us.
* I can check on wait times at Disneyland to see which ride I should go to next.
* I can shop at all times of the day.
* I can watch a movie when I’m bored.

 

I know that now a days a lot of phones do these things, but Apple was the first and because they continue to make things better so I’m loyal to the end.

Today I get my new toy and I’m ecstatic and excited to see the new things that they have created to addict me even more.

So, my first post of things I love is dedicated to apple.

If you have the iPhone what are the things you love most about it? If you don’t have one…. you are missing out!!

Michelle Koechle - Hmm, that would be a toughie decision but I think I’d go with the Coach bag. 🙂

I love my iPhone too! I was given one for my birthday (not a Coach bag) this year in May and since then it’s become an additional part of my body. It’s really funny how my husband is much more techy than I am and he has a Droid (sucks to be him!). Sometimes we’ll race each other when someone has a question to see whose phone is the quickest and I always win!
