If Photography doesn't workout:) LOL...






Ok, if Amy Nave Photography or Albumesque doesn't workout I'm going to join the bowling league:) LOL.... Last night I went bowling with Janey, Mark, and some of Marks friends and it was a blast. I use to be on a bowling league when I was young so everyonce in a while my bowling techniques come back to me and I get a few strikes. Well last night I seriously bowled a 208. Can you believe that. Ok so I'm a little competitive:) Actually the music that was playing was amazing so that definitely helped. Janey is a goof ball and at one point Mark and I were like Janey, focus, stop dancing, look at the arrows and bowl:) LoL, we love you Janey:) Mark was super low key and was a pretty good bowler as well. He actually beat me the first game but only by four so I won't show that score:) hehe....... Even when I finally beat him he gave me a high-five and walked off the floor with his head held high:) What a guy:) Here are a few pics of us bowling. We tried to tell mark that when you hang with photographers my little camera comes everywhere:) If you don't have a picture then it didn't happen:) That's what my mom always says:)


Janey and Mark, it was a blast:)

WPPI - Here I come:)


I'm very excited because I finally booked my room at Paris for WPPI. I was getting a little worred because rumor has it that Bally's is completely full, but that's fine with me I prefer to stay at Paris anyways:) When you think about it though, it doesn't really matter where you stay because the time spent in your room is like NEVER:) So my question for you is are you going? If so when are you arriving and when are you leaving?????

Can't wait to see you all there!!!!!!

LIVE LIFE BABY!!!!!!!!!






Wow, I'm seriously the worst blogger ever. Good thing my New Years resolution wasn't to blog everyday. However, my website says I do. Oops:) I'll get better, or I'll have to change my video on my website. LOL, just kidding:@)............

I've been extremely busy lately and I love it:)

This last weekend my friend/roommate (Summer) and I went to my parents for the weekend. We had a blast. My parents took us to a play called "Shadow Land". It's based on the Life of C.S. Lewis. It was amazing and there wasn't a dry eye in the house:)

Another exciting event was the Pug meeting that Michael and Anna Costa hosted last night. Sara France, Shyla, and Amelia Lyon all came up and it was a great time forsure. It's so exciting to hear how everyone is doing and believe me, you're gonna want to keep your eyes and ears open because these amazing photographers are leading the way and this year is going to be amazing, so stay tuned!!!!!!! :>)


Anyways, I have soooo much to do so I'm out:)

More later:)

Did you know this about me???


Growing up I always loved to read. I use to participate in reading competitions and I actually have trophies for reading thousands and thousands of pages. (hmmm, not that many people know that about me). HA HA!! What's crazy is I loved to read and I think it was because I wasn't forced to. As soon as I hit High school and college, things definitely changed and the love for reading wasn't there as much. So, the exciting news is recently I started reading every night before bed. It's been great. I'm reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and even at 2:00 in the morning I'm still reading. Hopefully I'll have it finished by the end of this week:) I think everyone has read it except for me so after the 10th person recommended this book I finally decided to grab it:) Thanks everyone:)

What's your favorite book??????????? What should I read next?

Ok, gotta go read:)

Laughter = Good for the heart:)












Today was definitely a wonderful day full of laughter with some of my amazing friends that I'm so blessed to have in my life:) Beautiful Shyla drove up to Santa Barbara to go wine tasting with Tim, Cheryl, Dee, Summer and myself:) We drove to the San Yanez Valley and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. The girls weren't big drinkers so we definitely ate tons of pretzels to off set the yummy wine:) Now the boys on the other hand definitely held their own and if it wasn't for the tasting rooms closing I think they'd still be going at it:) LOL, just kidding:)


Anyways, we took a group shot at all of the wineries that we stopped at:) You guys, it was a fun and amazing day that I hope we repeat very soon. :) Oh yes, and Sushi Next week, right Tim????????

On a side note, after wine tasting Shyla, Summer, and I walked down to Borders to buy a book, and it was sooooo cold outside, I seriously think it's going to snow:)

FINALLY:)


This week I was going to finally bite the bullet and buy a Blackberry, but today I found out that Mac just announced their new iphone. So now I'm thinking twice about the Blackberry. Has anyone purchased the iphone and if so do you absolutely love it? Also, if you have a Blackberry what's been your experience with it?

Yes it's time to finally get rid of the flip phone:) LOL.....

BABIES ARE IN:)



Wow, I can't believe how many of my friends had babies this last year, and four more are still on the way:) I know that all my friends are going to be the best Moms and Dads, and it makes me even more excited for the little ones because I know that they've been blessed with amazing parents:) This weekend my friend Kendra had her baby shower. It was hilarious because every time a cute outfit, booties, or stuff toy appeared everyone would start screaming in awe, including me:) Except no one screamed in awe when she opened the baby monitors that I gave her. Hey safety first:) At least she said I really needed this. Actually now that I think about it, know one screamed when Kendra opened the air purifier that my mom gave her. LOL...... Are we paranoid or just practical gift givers:)?????? LOL....

Compliments are a girls best friend:)


When someone compliments a girls it can definitely make her night. What I think is funny is how girls shy away when someone compliments or we say something trying to be funny because inside we don't know what to say. I guess we could blame it on our insecurities, or maybe it's because we don't hear them enough. What I always wonder is why can't we can't just take the compliment and say thank you, because deep down in side we love compliments and need them daily, or at least I do:) Now the reason I bring this up is I just finished Swing dancing and the compliments I get are out of this world. You would die laughing they are soooo hilarious. The funniest one is "Dancing with you is like driving a car with power steering". What do you say to that. I was like "uuuuhhhhhh dancing with you is like driving a dump truck" JUST KIDDING...... Tonight the compliments were pretty normal. At the end one of my friends said "I love your turns". LOL.... So I said "I feel like a car":) KIDDING AGAIN, I said THANK YOU:) Haha.........

Anyways..... Don't forget to compliment. If you need help then just use the power steering compliment, or the dump truck:)

Great fun, friends, and party:)





On Sunday I was invited to Mike and Julie Colon's for a New Years Eve Party. I'm not really into huge parties so I knew this evening would be perfect. It was very low key and they invited all their close friends, many in which I had never met. It's always fun meeting new people especially Mike and Julie's friends because everyone was so amazing.

Julie got a chocolate fountain for Christmas so she whipped that out for the party and it was Yummy!!!!! It should be a law that you have to have one at every party:) After midnight and everyone kissed, several of us played some poker. Mike and I didn't wanna beat Becker (since I beat him last time) so we went all in at the same time and lost:( LOL....... We all stayed up talking till 5:30 and man O man we're we exhausted. I was very thankful that Julie and Mike had invited me to spend the night, otherwise I would have been beyond tired driving home. I woke up the next morning to little Aiden's voice saying "hi Amy". He then crept to the side of my bed and handed me his two favorite toys and his blue blanket. I definitely felt special:) Thanks Mike and Julie for the Perfect Evening:)

I'm so sad I didn't take more pictures. I was having to much fun so check out BECKERS BLOG to see more:)

For New Years day I went to my parents and watched my first football game. It was really fun and we were all yelling. For a minute I thought my team was going to loose and I got really depressed but they surprised everyone and won the last 12 seconds of the game:) Thank goodness:)

So now I'm back in Beautiful Santa Barbara...... This is the Sunset that greeted me when I drove into SB. Amazing!!!!!!!


I hope you all had an amazing New Years........
