I grew up in two places, Temecula and Dana Point. But, I lived the longest in Dana Point and call it ‘where-i-grew-up’ location. We moved there when I was 5 and stayed until just after 12 years old. It was a little different back then.
They are somewhat right when they say ‘you can’t go home again’ but I still love to go back. Back to visit the old places we used to hang out, the Dana Point house, and Salt Creek – somewhere I was almost everyday during summer with Julia.
She didn’t really have a choice in the matter, I was too little to stay home by myself, so we would spend the ENTIRE day at the beach.
Yes, we were very tan.
Yes, I am now very pale, and love it
The Dana Point house, where so much of my childhood lives.
My first dog; Lady. A miniature Pomeranian – who we rescued from the pound with a broken leg which would later need to be removed completely. She was my first love, and I still miss her
Where I rode my bike around our cul de sac every day, after my grandparents taught me how to ride. I loved my bike, it was the best thing ever.
Where every house was different, but ours was the bestand COVERED in plants and flowers after my mom got her hands on it (as usual).
As much as I miss the feel of those times, I so love living in San Diego. It’s the only place I pictured myself eventually living, getting married, and raising a family.
Speaking of getting married, here is part 2 of Chris and Lauren’s Engagement. These images took place in Orange County, of course
Lauren emailed me with an idea she saw, she wanted to try with some confetti
On the day of the shoot, she texted to say she forgot the confetti – so I ran over to Trader Joe’s and grabbed some colorful small flowers to act as confetti.
She wanted to blow some confetti in Chris’ face!! haha
Here’s a kiss before, for being a good sport
My View
I have to admit, it’s not something I would have thought of! But it was a lot of fun, and I love the images of Lauren with the petals.
Love this one. I just love it.
