Beautiful furniture at The Maids' Quarters

Traveling by car from Bakersfield to Palo Alto is a grueling drive just for a an engagement session. Just to show how much they love their alma mater (Standford University), they did it twice. I, however, would like to think they made the efforts for my ultra incredible photography skills.

I could remember vividly when we met up at the doorstep of Nordstrom Rack a few weeks back. Kristin walked through the doors with a really bright yellow dress she'd bought just for the photo shoot. The only thing britgher than her dress was that huge-perfect-set-of-teeth smile. I was very sadden that we had to part way just minutes later because it was pouring outside. We had to reschedule the session.

However, God made it up for us with near perfect weather today and I finally get to blog that yellow dress...and that huge-perfect-set-of-teeth smile. Not only that, I was able to hang out with two wonderful persons, Kristin and Ryan. I cannot wait to be there at your wedding at the Palm Event Center.

This is a banana slug, a common resident. Somehow, it became the face of Santa Cruz University...as its mascot. Until yesterday, I have never heard off or seen one before.
