The majority were taken with our fisheye lens...we wanted to capture 180 degrees of everything. There's very little post-processing...and you will notice that there's misty stuff in some of our beach shots...we couldn't control the wind :)

p.s.a double whammy...we blogged twice today..see below.

This one goes down for the books!

Our favorite photographer that we visited out in California this week, Jasmine Star, and her hubby JD did a great photoshoot for us...and has posted a teaser picture on her blog...go here to see it!

I want to tell you all about this shoot....but...I'm going to let her blog it first...(watch for it this coming week)....and then I'll gush over how wonderful she is.

More to come soon. We fly home in the morning...pray for safe travels for us :)

California Love

So we've made it to California, and it is absolutely not disappointing....we are stoked to finally be here.

A few fun facts about California we've learned so far:
*The San Francisco Airport has no signs telling you how to get anywhere and has very few employees that are wiling to take a minute to help...
*We met a guy named Wesley on the flight from SFO to LAX who is leading a cub scouts group of 16 boys...we are so not envious.
*There are stop lights on many of the on-ramps for the highways where only 2 cars are allowed thru in each late at one time....
*Gas is cheaper here than in Charlotte....but not food! :)
*Hotels like to charge parking fees...and then tax on top of those fees...and our hotel had us wait in line at 2:55 with about 6 other customers until the clock said 3:00 and then they checked us in...
*We drove thru Inglewood after getting our rental car from LAX and didn't see any up-and-coming rappers on the streets...may have to go back thru this evening.
*The LA Convention Center is huge...and green...never seen anything quite like that...

We're headed to Fred62...a diner down the street from where we are staying in Hollywood that has gotten solid reviews and has been frequented by many of the Hollywood crowd.


...feels like we should add the twittering aspect to our blog.....

Lauren & Matt Engaged!

...thank you to all who are excited about our "Oli". We get him when we return from Cali! That's right kiddos...we are off to Cali bright and early tomorrow morning. We'll be blogging our adventures right here on this blog with you... (I know...you can hardly bear much more excitment!)

Daniel and I had a FABULOUS weekend. We did a fitness (Body for Life) shoot with a friend from college. Her pictures are amazing...but...well...those won't be shared with the world...they are for her :) We also had a photoshoot with two of my favorite SWU people: Brett & Jes. They were both RAs in my building that I was RLC (Residence Life Coordinator) for. For those of you who haven't followed me for long...my Master's is in Student Affairs Administration for Higher Education (Cheyenne...you may be the only one who knows what that is...since you have the same degree ;). So I digress....Brett and Jes are amazing people..we shot their wedding...and now...one year later they came to visit and got some great shots...with their labra-doodle, Cali. Those will be coming when we return from C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A!!

...back to the post at hand..Lauren & Matt. She's funny and bubbly..he's gentle and kind...the two together make love look easy...and are in for the ride of a lifetime: marriage! Check out a few of the MANY favorites we took on that day...or go here to see them on flickr...and if you haven't had enough...go to the end of this post...and watch the slideshow of pictures set to music!!
