Well, I’ve done it. I’ve made the big switch. Last week, after a LOVELY visit with my accountant, I found out that Uncle Sam owed me BIG TIME, so on Monday evening, I made my first visit to the Apple store with my friend Becker. And I left with a very heavy box.
Fast forward to...

MY JOURNEY.LUNCH WITH FRIENDS.
I spent the weekend in Nashville at a conference and before I left, took the opportunity to connect with some cousins and friends. UNFORTUNATELY, I was almost an hour late to lunch. Yep, I was lost in the outskirts of Nolanville, TN…without GPS. I called my cousin and my sweet friend Jody and neither of...
MY JOURNEY.PHOTOG SHOOTOUT.
This weekend, I had the opportunity to join a number of photographers in Encinitas for a shootout with models, classic cars, and rockabilly flair! I met up with some old friends, made new ones, and even won a raffle. Plus, the rain subsided and we had gorgeous blue skies. It was a...
MY JOURNEY.HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM & DAD.
Today is my parents’ 36th wedding anniversary and I couldn’t be prouder to share that with you! As someone who loves love, I have the greatest example of that in front of me whenever I go home. After 36 years as a married couple, they know the buttons to push to get each other going,...
MY JOURNEY.CHRISTMAS MAIL.
I’m not going to lie, all month long I’ve raced to the mailbox to see what the postman had for me each day! Christmas cards are one of my FAVORITE parts of the holiday season…and this year, it was even more special. Since beginning JJP, I’ve felt really good about some shoots and...

MY JOURNEY.WORKSHOP WONDERS.
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of participating in the Gray Photography In-Camera Workshop. Jody and Zach were not only adorable, but incredibly informative! I had several “ah ha” moments and truly felt like I made a giant step forward in my career.
We spent the first half of the day in a classroom setting where I...
MY JOURNEY.FAVORITE PHOTO GIFTS.
One of my favorite photo gifts this year has to be the THIN WRAP. Similar to gallery wrapped canvases, THIN WRAPS display your photos in a unique way. Imagine your favorite photo of your kids displayed prominently on your wall just in time for holiday entertaining!
My pro lab, Bay Photo, describes THIN WRAPS as: First...
MY JOURNEY.HELP ME NAME A NEW SESSION STYLE.
As you can tell, the theme of my site is “Capturing…your joy (or anticipation or promise, etc).” It’s a part of my brand and something that I really enjoyed coming up with.
Well, as of this weekend, I have a new session style that I’ve totally fallen in love with…BOUDOIR! I can’t wait to post some...
MY JOURNEY.MOM CAN MAKE ME CRY FROM LAUGHTER.
Last night, my family and I headed out to dinner in Temecula to celebrate my birthday a few days early. The Smokehouse at Ponte Family Estates Winery is one of my all time favorite restaurants and we had an incredible meal, as always. My sister and I both had our cameras and took some photos...
