Just Another Manic MONDAY MUST!

Well, hello there friends!

This is not your average Monday!

Something BIG is happening!  What, you ask??

I'm getting to it- you don't want to ruin the suspense, DO YOU!?

First off, this week I came across a lovely quote I thought was appropriate to share today:

 "Friends...they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams."
~Henry David Thoreau

This is absolutely how I feel about friends and dreams.  It happens to be one of the thoughts behind MONDAY MUST!  To share with you my friends and help lift up their dreams!  Nobody can reach success alone, we all need each other.  And, the thing about dreams is, there is PLENTY of room in the airy-neverland that houses our inner-most desires for all of them!  

This is a wonderful transition point where I can introduce you to MY friend:

Mrs Alissa Bright.

This lovely author is the star of the show on this lovely Monday Must!

What did she do that is so MUST-WORTHY to find itself on my blog?? (because we are pretty exclusive over here...)

Oh, nothing, just write an AMAZING book that hit the electronic shelves TODAY!

Were you one of those people who was YEARS behind the times when it came to Twilight, Hunger Games, and every other trendy series???  Had everyone around you "read it YEARS ago!!"  (I hear that every time I read a book- who cares!?)  Well, this time, YOU can be ahead of the trend- heck YOU can start the trend!  Grab the book, read it, love it, and tell everyone about it!

Like the cover picture? Thanks, I did that! {shameless plug for myself, check}

So, where might one buy said book you ask?

Simple, I've got the link RIGHT HERE for you!

Little Man, Big Headshots

So, a few weeks ago, a sweet mom contacted me wanting headshots of her sweet little boy for his agent.  I assumed he was a cute kid, but it wasn't until I checked out her Facebook and saw for myself that he is, indeed, BEAUTIFUL!  I was immediately excited for this upcoming shoot!  She said that she also wanted to throw in some of her little girl, as well.  So, of course, with one beauty in the family, I thought to myself, poor little girl, she has to live in the shadow of her amazing little brother.  But, once again, I looked at the pictures online and was amazed.  The girl was also BEAUTIFUL!  We then picked a quiet, Los Osos setting and I began planning out my shoot with these two beautiful children.
Here are the headshots of Little Mr. Beautiful:  (sorry, I know that beautiful is not usually a masculine term, but I think you'll agree that it is so fitting for that skin, eyes, and of course hair)

Little Mr. Beautiful was shy, so it took a quick game of peek-a-boo to warm him up! (quite possibly followed by some of my delicious cookies-but you'll just have to book your own session to see more about that!)

 I just fell in love with every little side-glance, smirk, and crooked-smile he gave!

 Then, there was his beautiful older sister!  (who, by the way, needed no gimmicks to

warm up- she's just a happy-go-lucky & outgoing kind of girl!)

Starting off with some tree climbing and a red parasol didn't hurt!  

Little Ms Beautiful was full of spunk and enjoyed finding her own spots and own poses- which I think turned out SO cute!  I love a girl who knows what she wants! ;)

All-in-all it was a fabulous way to spend an afternoon!  Good luck to Little Mr Beautiful in all of his endeavors- who wouldn't love that face?!

I hope you enjoyed this trip through my Los Osos photoshoot!  Let me know what you think!  Thanks a ton!  And, as my three-year-old would say, "Say Cheese!"
