Today is the day that us Californians get our chance to get our voices heard. I don’t care who or what you vote for… but please just go VOTE! And if you’re a photographer, bring your camera and document it for the New York Times polling place photo project. I’ll be voting around lunchtime (and brining my camera) so look for a photo later today. If you’re still reading this… what are you doing? Get out and vote!

*edit* So I’m back! No line (I’m hoping it’s just because it was early, not because no one is voting!) I was worried that taking photos inside wasn’t allowed… so I only took a couple quick snaps of the outside. Yay for polling places that are walking distance from the house!

Emiko and Luke had an absolutely gorgeous wedding at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu this weekend and I was lucky enough to be invited by Crissy to come along to help capture the day. My full post will have to wait as I have a jam-packed week coming up, but I couldn’t resist a little teaser of their wedding :)

They had a beautiful day, a beautiful location, and a heartfelt ceremony, but I have to say that the thing that made this wedding really truly amazing was their love for each other. The kind of love that makes you break out into a cheesy grin. Now that’s the stuff that I love to capture! I can’t wait to show you all of the images from this amazing day but for now I think this one sums it up. Check out that massive grin… I love it!

If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know that Ben and I had a rough winter with the loss of our lovable family dog Rita. Our house just hasn’t been the same without the jingle of a collar and a friendly face at the door to greet us on our return home.

Which is why I am overjoyed to introduce you to the newest member of our family… a spunky little guy we’ve decided to call Herbert! We’re calling him Herbie for short, and he’s quite a handful. He’s a fully grown rescue dog (of course) which means he comes with a bundle of issues, but we love him in spite of all of his quirks. He came home with us on Thursday night and has been learning the rules of the house (although he seems quite unhappy with the “no dogs on the couch” rule). I am so happy that we were able to find a lovable dog that needed a good home, and that we finally have that excited jingle when we come through the door (now complete with a full body wag as well). I seem to be totally incapable of stopping myself from taking photos of my pets so expect periodic Herbie posts from now on…. but for the moment here is just one introductory shot of our fabulous new friend!

On a totally unrelated note… I just shot an amazing wedding in Malibu yesterday and I cannot wait to show you some of my favorites. I may be posting a teaser later today, and expect a full post later this week!
