A Proposal:: Katy*Stetson :: The Slideshow

I've known Stetson since my senior year of college when we were R.A.'s together back in.... :) and he's an amazing guy!

Stetson called up one day and said, " I have a girlfriend!"  

My response, "So no more Laquisha?" (inside joke!) ;) 

Anyways, insert Katy. I met Katy through Stetson after he took her off the market and brought her over to show off during our weekly group "catch up on the shows we taped" hang out... and its there that me and my friends learned how super sweet and perfect she was for Stetz!! 

I couldn't tell you if we watched The Office, American Gladiators, or America's Best Dance Crew but I can tell you that Stetson and Katy couldn't keep their hands off each other and it was adorable. There's nothing better then to see your friends fall in love.  

Last night on January 18th, 2010... Stetson asked Katy to marry him and be his forever.  

The room was dark but the "love glow" was about and it made everything perfect. 

Stetz:: It. was. perfect. :)  

Here's a shot of the bling and a slideshow of the jist of the blissful evening.

Congrats Katy and Stetson and thank you guys for letting me be a part of such an event in your lives!

New Friend::Kristen Leigh... 1

So last week I had the fun opportunity to meet up with Miss.Kristen Leigh... a fellow photo diva who is out visiting Cali for a month from the beautiful east coast. I found her through the art of blogstalking ... who doesn't do it right! ;) ... and that's how I learned what a great and wonderful a photographer she is and how she has a large family that are super cute!! Having dinner with her was so encouraging and I loved every min of it! Wen talked about our photo life stories and how we are where we are. We talked over our faith, we talked guys, we talked passion and we talked ways to make things happen and what is to come... not to forget we talked WPPI and how much we are going to LOVE being there!

Kristen is staying up in Santa Clarita area and took the time to drive to meet in the beautiful city of Pasadena. We went to my favorite restaurants CHIPOTLE!! .... that, by the way, I love sharing with others so anytime peeps want to meet up at one.. I'm totally there!---side note: I don't normally eat Chipotle without someone there to share it with, unless it's just one of those really bad days and it's the only thing that can show a spec of blue in my sky..... I love it so much that I feel that I need to go with someone else or others so that the love can be shared and spread! (p.s. i think they need to start paying me for all the plugs..lol) side not over---Anyways.. back to my wonderful friend date with Kristen in Pasadena at Chipotle... After dinner and chatting up life, we busted out a camera and went to town! Seriously... how can photographers get together and not take any pics?! Seriously! :)


She was so excited to meet me :)

Once she got over meeting my.. she realized we were like same! What you see is the beginning of BF 4 eva eva

Her flowers were filled with a beautiful chill of diet coke


After Chipotles we headed down the road and to the left until we found some fun lights. As we were leaving my car I found what we shall call "our prop for the night". Bubbles! Needless to say... we took a lot of pics and had a great time!
