Two out of three of my precious little loves against my FABULOUS new backdrop. I love this thing soooo much, I want one for every room in the house. Now that I think of it, they do come in teal and lavender…

One of my best friends from college. We’ve known each other for 22 years. I realized I’ve never taken his picture before. Well, in college I’d take pictures of his legs to mess with him, he’s got skinny little legs with very little hair on them (ha ha! he’s going to laugh when he reads this). He used to have a complex about it, but now that he’s older, he’s not so worried about trivialities. After all there are more important things to worry about – the economy is a mess, he’s 47 and single…AND HE SPLIT HIS LIP AND HAD TO HAVE 5 STITCHES!!! when i first saw it i said “OMG that’s 5 stitches? it looks more like 20!!!….uh, it’s not that bad…really…you look fine…” Actually, i think it makes him look sexy.

a fun event hosted by the LBPC to raise money for the Laguna Beach School’s PTAs. I sponsored a booth and brought some promotional things with me, mingled a bit and took pictures of the kids. Justin Roberts sings that song “Willy was a Whale”, very cool song.

Mack and Leo, bff. We cook a lot at the Crane-Henning compound – sometimes it’s chocolate noodle cake or marshmallow lasagna, even roach beef sandwiches. This morning it was fish soup for breakfast.
Note that most of the photos are of Leo, as the photographer’s son wants nothing to do with having his picture taken. Kills me, but i guess it helps me stay more “present” with him. I have a tendency to go nuts taking pictures, I love it so…
