The Willis Family



Its strange to meet someone with the same name, I am always wondering what other Danielles are like. So it was great to meet Danielle and Jeff and their family, and do some fun pictures in Balboa Park. Danielle is one of the cutest pregnant moms I have ever seen, she was so energetic and game for anything, I was tired just watching her. We did a few family pics, some of just Danielle and Jeff and some of just the soon-to-be new addition to their family. Here are some of our fave pics from the day, congrats Danielle and Jeff on the new baby!














Two Amazing Women...


Earlier this year, for Mother's Day, Kate's husband bought her a gift certificate for a portrait session, knowing that she wanted to spruce up her website and online image. Kate has an enviable job, she gets to go through peoples' closets and advise them on what works best for them in their wardrobe. According to Kate, its a kinder, gentler "What Not to Wear". Kate's company is called KD Consulting, you can check out her website and give her a call if you need a little fashion consulting.

As if that wasn't cool enough, Kate mentioned that she was transforming her business, combining it with a friend of her's business Room by Room Design, into a new concept called Fusion of Style (coming soon). Fusion of Style combines Kate's fashion-savvy with friend Stephanie's home design expertise, into one super-amazing and very cool personal and home fashion consulting dynamo.

James and I headed over to Stephanie's amazing home in La Jolla for a fun photo shoot, to get some new pictures of them for their online portfolio. Here are some of our faves, check back soon for the launch of their new site.

We were looking for something that said powerful and professional, yet approachable and stylish...I think we hit it perfectly. First Kate...






Then Stephanie...




Finally, Kate had these really cool beaded bracelets, and they looked awesome against this box Stephanie had at home. If this mix is any indication of the fusion of Kate and Stephanie's style, their business is sure to be a success. Congratulations to both, we look forward to helping you make San Diego more stylish and fashionable!

the man shower?

so james and i were talking the other day that when we get married, we are going to throw every type of party imaginable, since we have attended more than our share of engagement parties, bridal showers, bachelor(ette) parties, wedding showers, baby showers, kids birthdays...you get the picture. what we hadn't attended before was a groom's shower. apparently these are becoming more common in the wedding world, as guys are getting more involved in the wedding planning festivities.

guys, take note, you can register at lowe's, home depot or maybe bevmo for some guy-friendly pre-wedding gifts, so you don't feel so left out when your fiance is bringing home all the kitchen tools, vases and lingerie from her shower.
