Therese & Jim were married on May 15th at Shutters in Santa Monica. I thought this venue was gorgeous! We had the sweet opportunity to work with Amanda Auer & team with In The Now Weddings & Events, they totally rocked it!

Hey guys. The ringshot...I don't get it, but I like it. Wait let me look again....nope, still don't get it, but I still like it. You guys are good enough to actually go pro at this wedding photography stuff. I don't know, just something to think about. Maybe you'll heed my words and make something of yourselves someday. I only wish the best for you. That's why I want you to get off the couch and do something. Pay your dues to society would ya!? I'm sorry for yelling. It's just that I see your talent and know that you could take it so far and still you only shoot weddings on weekends. You have the power to make it cool to get married on a Tuesday and you don't. Maybe if you were only available for weddings on Tuesdays.....people would take you more serious as artists. All I ask is that you think about it. Give it a chance to breath. You can't suffocate an idea with so much promise. Then other photographers would follow in your footsteps, only choosing different weekdays. Then as a group you could cover/specialize in everyday of the week. But all of this I've just said is dependent on you going pro. I've slacked in commenting in recent amazing posts and for this I am sorry. I hope I've made you smile today. This was my intention. I love you guys.

Happy Happy Birthday Justin dear! I want to take a quick moment to publicly tell the world how proud I am to be your wife and how thankful I am that you found me nearly nine years ago! You are an amazing man, with the grand ability to dream up anything and make ANYTHING happen! Thank you for being my best friend, cheerleader, lover, father of my children, and dream maker! I'm so excited to see what the universe has in store for you this year, it's going to be beyond amazing! I love you Justin Lyon!
PS. Incase any of you are wondering about his crazy beard, he shaved it off last week! LOL!
jessie said:
Oh My the pure JOY in that face!! Pure JOY he brought to my face 33 years ago and countless times since... so much like his father with that beard. .. Dustin and Jessie did great when they made Justin ...

Cassie + Eugene are super sweet! I'm really looking forward to their wedding, especially because I get another chance to work with Nancy (a former bride of mine) from So Happi Together, she'll be their main coordinator for the day.
This engagement session has a good mix of nature versus urban, I thought it all went really well together!

So lovely. Love the black and white one between the two trees!

I'll be honest, at first when I heard about the preschool graduation for Hudson, I thought it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but when I got there I found myself emotional and proud of all that Hudson had accomplished educationally over the last two years. The kid has learned a TON and grown a TON (he was the tallest out of his entire class)! Anyway, needless to say, Justin and I were really proud parents of a super handsome five year old that day!
I made him wear a button up and tie that day, it took some convincing that it was "okay to wear church clothes to school for graduation".
Afterward he told me, "Mom, they got it wrong, I want to be a BASKETBALL player when I grow up!" Cute, but not as funny as the other kid in his class that wanted to work at Nordstrom when he got older, lol!

I didn't even know he knew how to pledge allegianced!
Now onto Kindergarten....I'm not sure if I'M ready for this! Ready or not, bring it on!
