White Christmas:)



This Christmas was different in a lot of ways and yet completely wonderful:) Every year up until this year my family spends Christmas in California, in the same exact home where my sister and I grew up in. This year we decided to change it up a bit and I flew to Idaho where we celebrated our Christmas together. My family just moved into their amazing/beautiful home where we had our first white Christmas:) Some close friends also joined us which made our Christmas even more enjoyable. At first I was a little hesitant on having Christmas somewhere other then our previous home in California but soon realized that home is where family and friends are. So crazy to think that I consider Santa Barbara home and Idaho as well. We spent the days sledding, drinking coffee (yay), gathered around the fire, reading, playing with the dogs, and just relaxing. It was exactly what I needed.

Here are a few pictures of my parents home in Idaho. Some of the snow had melted already but at least you get a little bit of an idea. Their home is not completely finished but definitely on it's way:) The scenery is amazing and will take your breath away.

Right now I'm in the Boise airport waiting to board my flight to Reno where my friend Brian will be picking me up. We then head directly to Tahoe where we'll be bringing in the New Year with some friends. I'm excited.

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas, and I hope your New Years is just as amazing!

Laura and Jo
















For those of you who sent me messages reminding me to update my blog, I totally thank you for that:) Life has been busy like usual and I keep forgetting to update this bad boy:)

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph Laura and Jo's wedding. As I had mentioned in a previous post, I actually grew up with Laura and to see her all grown up and so happy made me so excited for the both of them. It's so cute when the two of them are together, it's like time stands still. Laura and Jo I hope your marriage is blessed above and beyond. Stay in touch:)
