These were taken in San Diego by a nearly dried-up lake.

[ Santa Barbara Mission ]
Disclaimer: This post has an excessive amount of photographs of the Santa Barbara Mission. If you're sick of it already then please feel free to skip this one.
I love the Santa Barbara Mission for a few reasons. My first apartment in SB was right behind the mission and every time I see the mission (or photographs of it) it makes me remember that I lived there for years. Also, one of my first assignments at Brooks was to successfully photograph the mission with a 4X5 camera with the cross on the lawn and the cross on the actual building BOTH in focus (refer to photograph #2, although I didn't have both in focus on this shot). I literally had to re-shoot the assignment almost 4 times before I received a passing grade on it ... oof. Anyway, this last visit to Santa Barbara made me realize I had never successfully photographed the mission in a way that I was be pleased with so it was my goal to return and do it for none other than myself.

[ Roots Flowers ]
I love Roots Flowers. I seriously feel like they make some of the prettiest arrangements I've ever seen.

[ Scott & JeNae ]
Scott and JeNae are my brother and sister-in-law. Paul and I visited these two in San Diego earlier this month.
Things we did: San Diego Temple, a picnic at a park by the beach, Scripps Aquarium, a walk around a shrinking lake, delicious food, and lots of relaxing. More pictures to come of this lovely trip I took.

[ Eliza & Tyler Instant Film ]
For my birthday my husband gave me a new instant camera ... the Instax Mini. Oh goodness, I love it. I used it Saturday night (Jan 16th) at Eliza and Tyler Bradshaw's wedding reception for a few shots. Here they are ... well, the scans of the instant film. I will most likely be using this for most of my weddings, simply because everyone loves polaroids!
