There are very few things about New Mexico that I truly loved, but here are a few. Good friends and Santa Fe. about a month ago I got to combine those two things for a beautiful wedding. My dear friend Corinna See asked me to come second shoot with her at an amazing wedding near Santa Fe at a wonderful ranch called La Mesita. The ranch is now owned by Buffalo Thunder but he father of the bride had actally spent his youth growing up there. I love when the details have a special story. The wedding was amazing. Thanks Corinna for your friendship. xoxo

To see the beautiful images Corinna took please visit her blog. And don’t forget to leave her some love in the form of comments!

Paige has always been a girly girl but yesterday might have made her even more girly. (if that is possible!) She has been asking me non stop since yesterday to put some make-up on her so I finally gave in! I was curious to see how long her eye lashes were with a tiny bit of mascara, and holy crap! They are so stinking long! She though it was the coolest thing ever, and since we are just hanging out today I didn’t mind putting a little make-up on her. So she was my little model today, and surprisingly she let me take pictures of her!

Don’t worry. I am not one of those crazy moms that is going to try and make my 2 year old look like a teenager! All in fun!

So I am totally freaking out because my Mom is coming to visit. Not that I am not happy about it, I totally am. But I am not the best housekeeper. At all. So I spent all day giving my house a deep clean and I started organizing the most random things . . . like my make-up. Now some people (Alex) might say that I have a slight obsession/addiction to M.A.C. make-up. I say not, but after spreading out all the make-up I own I am starting to maybe think he is right. Maybe.

You know what? After looking at this picture again it puts things into perspective. Alex is wrong! You can NEVER have too much M.A.C.! (Oh and BTW this picture was taken on my phone! I promise I can take better pics than this!)
