1  MOMENT JUNKIE - I found this really cool blog that encapsulates treasured, candid moments at weddings. As a wedding photographer myself, I absolutely love the candid shots. The ones that they don’t see you taking their picture - those are the best ones. They capture emotions so well. I hope to have one of my photos featured there one day.

2  COLOR RUN - So after sitting on the fence for the past two weeks about this 5K, I decided to follow through and do the run anyways! So even though my cousins bailed on me, I found two girls there who had their friends bail on them and so we stuck together.  

But overall, Saturday was a good day. I drove 2 hours down and spent some GREAT time with God. Ran 3 miles in paint powder goodness. And then drove 2 hours back in pure karaoke form.  

3  CELEBRITY SPOTTING - This past Sunday I had lunch with some friends at Tender Greens in Hollywood and basically became absolutely star struck when I saw Adam Scott.  

I had no clue that I would react that way, but dude I was so like flabbergasted. I mean, I’m a fan of Parks & Rec and I’ve watched Party Down. Maybe it goes all the way back to Boy Meets World. Or maybe it’s this scene from Stepbrothers. Anywho, he’s great. 

But no. I did not stop by to say hi or ask for a photo. Instead, I stealthily took his picture while I sat at our table. Yeah. I got skillz.

4  RECALIBRATION - After my long drive on Saturday, just thinking about life and such, I’ve decided that I need to strategize my life. Because right now I’m flying by the seat of my pants!

Between random shoots and client meetings and networking one-to-ones … I’m exhausted. And I haven’t really done anything yet really. I need to still do promo materials and schedule out bridal expos and other marketing events. But I also need to protect my time. Creatively and for business. So I decided to set aside Tues/Thur for Creative Blocks and only have meetings on Mon/Wed/Fri. Hopefully this will add some sense to my life. 

If that fails, I’ll just adapt this type of schedule. Note that the Sabbath is still in tact :)

5  SO IT’S OFFICIAL, OBAMA IS HERE FOR A SECOND TERM - How do y’all feel about that? People are all over the place with their opinions. Politics aren’t really my thing, but I’ve been trying to be intentional about staying on top of the topics and debates and such.  (Not going to lie though, SNL helps too).    

But yeah. Here goes it. 2012. Obama/Biden ticket. Round 2. Let’s pray for more jobs, more wisdom, more peace, more direction under God’s guidance. All the above. Amen and amen.
