This past weekend I met with Rachael in Murrieta. She just graduated from college with a degree in accounting! We had so much fun exploring the Santa Rosa Plateau. Neither one of us had been there and I have to say, it is pretty amazing to see that much open, beautiful land in California. One thing I’m learning is that I really love looking at nature and appreciating it’s beauty but I don’t really love actually being in it. =) When we were walking on the trails there we warning signs for mountain lions and rattle snakes. On the mountain lion sign it said, “if they attack, fight back”. It was so reassuring. Luckily the only run in we had was with stinging black ants but they only attacked me because Rachael was wearing her super cute cowboy boots! Enough about nature, meet Rachael…

Love her laughing shots. Every time she would laugh, she closed her eyes. =)


It is the end of the wild flower season but I was able to gather some for this bouquet. Reminds me of an Antropologie catalog!

This was a fun shot. I told Rachael to be super proper and serious, kind of like an old time photo…

This is way more Rachael’s personality! =)

Loved this light! It is completely natural… just the way the light was coming through the tree.


Pretty light was coming and going behind the clouds all day. As soon as it would pop out I would stop and Rachael would pose. It was a fun day!
