All of our Cali Pictures are Up...be sure to take a look at them. Let me warn you ...if you don't like blue skies and beaches...chances are..you're not going to like our vacation pictures ;)
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.

A Heart Check.
All my life I knew these things about myself..
*I must have a creative outlet to exist at my ultimate best.
*I love music and it has to be a part of my life in some shape, form or fashion.
*I would have to travel the globe....
*Social Justice is how I function. I want people to be loved and treated equally.
*Jesus is my rock and there is nothing else that can sway my heart beyond pleasing him.
*The most recent is that after Jesus...nothing trumps Daniel.
*Friends to laugh with and do life with are an essential.
*Serving in my church and community.
*My family to share life with...
I am so blessed. I have so much. These things at the core make up what shows on the outside. These things help to shape Candice Ann Lanning.
I can't help but think that God should have given this wonderful life to someone more deserving, but friends, he gave this life to me. So because he entrusted me with this life...it's my job to share, invest and pour my life into others. I wanted to write about all the things I have instead of all of the insecurities and inadequacies that haunt me on a daily basis.

Also..yesterday and today..this song has come to mind...we used to sing it at the church I grew up in....Order My Steps...Click here for lyrics...
A sneak peek coming this afternoon!

Are You Kidding Me?
I'm speechless. Overwhelmed. Giddy. Thrilled. Pleased. Wanting to do jumps....Calling my parents. Loving it, loving it, loving it!
Today is the day folks! Jasmine Star posted our photoshoot on her blog...and friends... she did not disappoint! Go here to see them...but before you do...read this...
Jasmine Star is exactly what she appears to be on her blog. She's kind, thoughtful, creative and funny. If the world had a million more of her...the world would truly be a better place (and prettier too!). She and JD are as genuine, kind and generous as they seem and we count ourselves lucky to be considered friends. Jasmine....we learned a ton from just being around you...and I can't wait for our paths to cross!

A Bit of News
Life is amazing. You can go through a series of good times, bad times, meaningful times and well...changes. At first...change can be difficult..but when you come out on the other side of it...you look at it and say, "You didn't scare me...bwahahaha!" Well, maybe not the 'bwahahahaha' part...but you can look at it and be amazed at the change and the process. The process is the most important part...because it's during the process that you are forever changed...it's the process that teaches you and that you learn from.
Where am I going with this? I'm glad you asked...Daniel and I made the jump (no...we are not having a baby...)! We decided that now is the time for us to have me go FULL-TIME into photography. It's a dream come true. I'm excited, scared and a tiny bit insecure....BUT--I am looking forward to the 'process' of it. I'm looking forward to meeting FABULOUS clients and their families, meeting vendors, finding great locations, becoming a smart businesswoman...and a better photographer.
What does this mean for you? Well..this means that you'll have a very regularly updated blog to read, photography sessions coming down the pipeline...and more! Thank you for your support on this!!
Looking forward to sharing this journey with you!

cacophonic...
It's a quiet night in the Lanning house...
So quiet I can hear the house creak.
Candice is away at a staff advance for 2 days so I'm home alone, lacking my best friend to have conversation with....need I say more?
I will.
This week our church is participating in a "kill the television" week. We're all keeping the tv off from Monday-Friday.
And if you still think it isn't quiet enough around the house...our loud and rowdy neighbors decided to take the night off and haven't made a sound...it could only happen when Candice is gone.
Yeah....I think I'll go find some chirping birds to invite into the house so I can have a little noise other than the occasional drip of the kitchen sink faucet (which I still need to fix)...or the ice maker in the fridge doing its thing every thirty minutes.
And while having the house so quiet can be strange and awkward at times (i'm too lazy to get my iPod out of the car), it's actually quite soothing. Living and working in the city can be so hectic and cacophonic (spell check doesn't like my adjustment to the english language...but I like the feel of the word) that days can go by before I really have an uninterrupted moment to just rest without any noise.
So here's to an awkwardly quiet night at home...hopefully I wake up to the alarm tomorrow without help from Candice.
No post should ever be without a picture....Enjoy.
I miss you, love.

Sneak Attack...
A fun thing for both Daniel and I is to catch each other as we are shooting our subject. Below are some of our captures....
I think the Lord takes 'pictures' of us as we are doing his work...whether it be volunteering at Church, helping others in the community or just loving our spouse as Christ loved the church...I think he loves to take those and ...and show them off. I think God is pleased when we are obedient to him....and he captures those moments in his heart.
This might have been a stretch...but it's kind of me imagining the Lord ...and how he finds pleasure in us...

Words for my wife...
So I (Daniel) don't often get on blogger that much, but with Valentine's Day just passing and Candice and I taking an amazing trip to Asheville, I've taken the opportunity to say a few things about my wife! :)
(Candice, please don't beat me up 'cause I used this picture!)
You are absolutely beautiful to me...
You are my best friend...
You take care of me...because I am BAD at taking care of myself...
You encourage me to step up and be the man...
You want to truly know how I feel about something...
You take your faith seriously and help me do the same...
You laugh at my awful and not funny jokes...
You are my alarm clock in the morning....and I love that...
You tell me I'm good at things and help me to believe it...
You like to travel and be adventurous...
You defend me...
You like to ham it up (like in the above picture!)...
You put cold drinks on my back just to see me squirm...
I can't help but fall in love with you over and over each day because of the wife that you are.
I love you, too!

Sandra Oh. Oh.
So umm. On our honeymoon Daniel took a picture of me that looks strikingly like Grey's Anatomy star, Sandra Oh. After he took the picture he said, "you know, you look like that girl on Grey's Anatomy..." You be the judge....it makes me laugh just thinking about it.
