Catalina Island ~ Avalon Harbor Cleanup



It was the 25th annual Avalon harbor cleanup. The Catalina Conservancy Divers puts it on every year. Divers from all over gather to clean up Avalon Harbor. I just love Catalina so I had to join in! A group from Baxter Healthcare divers got together. I volunteered to be the official photographer since I don’t dive. Of course I had to be taking pictures ;) Here’s a picture of me with my BFF Karyn :)

We jumped on the Catalina Express first thing in the morning! We left San Pedro just as the sun was coming over the horizon. I love sunrise pics! They were amazing! It was a bit chilly so I layered up! We crashed in the Commodore Lounge. That was the best $10 I ever spent on a diet coke & a cookie ;) It was nice and toasty warm. Andrea brought her beautiful Hungarian Vizsla with her named CJ. What a great dog!

It was such a beautiful day! A great day to spend in Catalina. It was sunny but not too warm. Our team was stationed at Casino Landing. I think we got the best spot! Karyn and I watched at the divers searched the Avalon harbor for trash.

The best one was a timex watch that was still working! There was tons of beer and beer caps… as usual. Then there was a frying pan, you just knew there had to be a story to that one!

After the dive everyone was pretty tired. We relaxed in the sun until it was time to head home. What a wonderful day it was! :)

M’s 1st Bday


On Sunday we celebrated Makena’s 1st Birthday. It was a princess party and all the little girls dressed up like princesses. It was so cute! The party was held at Rick & Keri’s in Ojai. Good food, family & friends… a good time was had by all! It’s a kick to see the next generation of kids playing around! The girls were having a blast playing with Makena’s presents in the princess wear. I think I should have a princess party this year! After all…. we all really are princesses at heart! ;)

I gave my Mom my spare camera and had her play assistant. I love this pic! Apple dosen’t fall far from the tree :)


After the party Joan and Mom had me take pictures of them for their older sister Charlene. I got a few good laughs out of them. This picture is my favorite! Such goof balls!

Couple’s Valentine’s Dinner


I had the pleassure of photographing a couple’s Valentine’s dinner for the Camarillo Evangelical Free Church in Camarillo. It was in the Clubhouse at Village of the Park. It was beautiful! I really want to go back and do a model shoot there ;) Red’s BBQ was catered in. The entire club house was decorated in a red cowboy theme. The whole event was a blast! It was great to see each couple walk up arm in arm! Love was in the air :) It’s always a great time to photograph such fun group!

If you’d like to order a 5×7 for $7 please email me. I’ll give them to Karyn to take to church so you don’t have to pay S&H.
