Amy LeAnne Photo Shoot

I had the best time when I got to visit my best friend in the whole wide world Amy LeAnne! She is such an inspiration and a beautiful person inside and out.  She has held my hand in so many moments and been a huge support that has lasted throughout the time! We had an amazing adventure photo shooting: trespassing, battling downtown, starbucks shout outs, and outdoor elements!  and I even got to try out a remote I got to automatically shoot so we both could be in on the action so all pictures are mine too! But we survived and she is so beautiful and a beautiful model! Just know that she is even more beautiful on the inside... can you tell I love her dearly.... Yes! Enjoy this collection!

Love LisaAnne Photography, and Lisa <3

Catalina Island

Just got back from a trip with my family to California to visit family and enjoy a trip to Catalina Island as well. It was quite a unique trip and our family bonded in many ways.  There was trips to Disneyland, and Harry Potter and Winnie the Pooh movies (Both are quite incredible!!) a lovely day on the beach of Catalina, and laughter and joy with our cousins all night long!

But although the trip had been full of happiness the biggest surprise came with extreme sadness.  During one of our days my sister who had been pregnant started feeling a little under the weather and soon had to be taken to the hospital. She soon discovered she had had a miscarriage (that started weeks previous to the trip) and her baby she had joyfully brought into this world that was supposed to be 11 weeks had only reached 6 weeks and would be joining Jesus instead.  My brother in law soon joined us to help with the support and the love we wanted to show Laura in this time.  That young baby is still so precious and real to our family and will always be.  Laura is doing well physically which is a huge blessing and their future is still bright and filled with the sound of little feet soon to come! Prayer is always appreciated!

Along these rough times it shows just how important family and love are. I always feel so comforted and fulfilled when God's love is just wrapped around us.  He knows all things and in that there is amazing comfort in whatever we face in our lives.


Here are some images of the gorgeous scenery and fun moments captured:

Long distance

I am so sad to say that the day is finally here... 9 months apart from my boyfriend started yesterday when I dropped him off at the airport.  I instantly got hit with a wave of emotion and I have been beyond weepy for most of the first day, being the emotional girl who cries at everything  :-).... The first day is sometimes the hardest. But I tend to be on survival mode during these times, I just want to push through to the finish and I know there is an end in sight to this long distance madness, but it is hard to go through with it. I will keep pushing on and a few tears will not downplay the adventures we both will have. Any advice on long distance let me know~ <3  

Here are some pictures of the time we recently spent together at the zoo!
