Living in a Field 4

A storm is a brewin'

Living in a Field 3

I always heard fishing consisted of waiting and waiting and waiting patiently for hours until the fish decides to nibble.

Here that is definitely not the case. We have caught (and released) over 70 fish between all the people in our group. Brett had his first fishing experience today.
First, he baited the hook, cast the line, and about 8 seconds later was reeling in a fish! So I tried and the same thing happened. We both caught our first fish!!

Living in a Field 1

I've traded life in the city for living in a field for a few days.

It's beautiful here. I only get 3 days of this and I plan on soaking up every last drop of it.
I have absolutely no cell reception and I love it. But amazingly enough I get great internet signal! I'm so excited to spend these next three days taking photos, talking to God, eating, finding adventure, laughing with my family, and loving my future hubby.

I'm also excited to get so much time to catch up on blogging!

Sneak Peak: Luke & Lauren

Officially my favorite photo shoot ever.

Here are a few teasers... but trust me..
you aint seen nothing yet!
These two are fabulous and fierce! More eye candy to come...

Fun Friday

What a fun day! We took Matt down to Coronado to show him a little bit of San Diego! We had so much fun acting like tourists! Then to top it all off... a delicious cheap buffet dinner at Viejas!!

This us staring in awe at the Coronado mansions...

The male models and their sweet shades.
(They all bought new ones and were very excited)

In search of the haunted hotel room and the wonka hall..

Any time Grant disappeared all we had to do was find the nearest flowers and he was sure to be found! hahahaha

Anza Borrego Desert

Here are the shots from our second photo adventure.
We started out on a designated trail but soon set off to hunt for more flowers.
We attempted to let the GPS guide us to coyote canyon. I have never been able to enjoy the luxuries of GPS.. In fact, I think they're down right annoying.
They coax you into believing they have it all under control.. then, once you put all your faith in them. BAM! They go and get you lost. It's like they know you are mindlessly following their directions and are amused by seeing how far off course they can take you.
But in this case, it worked out for the better.

After a little off roading in the Lexus we ran into all kinds of flowers untouched and full of color.
We found ourselves on the desert floor, swimming in dancing wildflowers surrounded by mountains made of rich red dirt while thick puffy clouds floated above us letting the sun peek out every now and then to kiss our cheeks.

What a day.

^^^ Grandpa unloading gear while Brett plays with the ants!! lol

A little late..

I have an amazing Grandpa. He is so much fun and we are so much alike in so many quirky ways. We both have an unhealthy passion for all things Disney. My Grandpa took me to my first hardcore rock concert.. I believe the name of the concert was Bloodfeast. He wears awesome jeans and know awesome things. I think I inherited my love for photography from him. After my Grandma died we went through tons of pictures and in so many of them my Grandpa was found in the background meddling with the camera. Fast foward about 35 years and it's the same scenario. Family gatherings, BBQ's, graduations... there's Grandpa, in the background meddling with his camera. We have started going on photography adventures together and these are some of the shots from our first adventure. We went another adventure last week. I'm going to try and get those pictures up tomorrow but in the meantime here are the ones from last time. We had so much fun meeting and chatting with all the lovely people of OB

This woman was F-I-E-R-C-E. Fierce.
She was ripping the head off her fish and de-boning them all by hand!
She loved the camera attention;)

This bird wouldn't leave the fierce woman's side. He was enjoying the freshest sushi in town!
(Note the fish blood on his beak. Ew.)

Anyone that knows me well enough knows my love for old people.
I love them. I think they are the cutest, sweetest people on earth.
This man was walking the street picking up all the bits of trash.
So sweet.

This guy had some amazing art ideas.

This guy rocks.I love the rose on his handlebars and his bright yellow flag!

We are having so much fun on our photo adventures. Brett joined us on the last one. It was an amazing day and I can't wait to get the pics up!
