Winters never use to bother me as much as do they now. Perhaps it is because I never knew what I was missing. Now, however, I have tasted and seen! LOL. Winter decided to fight back with one final Hoo-rah (or at least I hope it is the last one) so I decided to share with you a warmer place…a sunnier place…. a place I’d rather be until the stupid snow is gone. LOL.
Santa Barbara, CA is amazing. I mean really, it is. I LOVED San Diego when I went last fall and didn’t think i could love California more, but boy was I wrong! Santa Barbara is just gorgeous. The conference was amazing, too… but i fell in love all over again. The conference was hosted at the Fes Parker, right acroos the street from the ocean. I won’t bore you with the details.. it was a weekend of learning from amzing industry leaders and of making new friends. VA was strongly represented so I was lucky to know a lot of people already. I will be sharing more images and sessions from my time out there but here a few from my view and from the first e-session I shot while there.



My first night roomies 🙂 Sweetest gals around!!!

Meet Israel and Aleea; a real engaged couple 😉




Right in the middle of the session this fog rolled in… it was so dreamy!
