*{Have You Ever Wondered...}*

OH my! I just stumbled across a great site while stalking some of my favorite blogs! Have you ever wondered what the before pictures of the celebrities look like before a photo processing company works their Photoshop wonders on it?! You can see it here!

CLICK HERE and it will take you to the site and you will then click on "Portfolio" on the top of the screen. You will see several different before and after photos of celebrities we are all familiar with! Move your mouse on and off the photo to see the before and after photo.

It seriously makes me want to send in a picture of myself to see what they would do to me!

This proves that celebrities aren't as perfect as those magazine covers make us feel! Go pull those teenage daughters over to the computer and check this out!
Amazing!

*{My Fellow Highlander}*

You are probably asking yourself, "What is a Highlander?!" Well, I am here to tell you, "good question!" This is a sneek peek for a friend of mine that went to UC Riverside with me. We were both RA's in the A&I dorms (A&I will always be better than Lothian...wink wink)! And UCR is home of the Highlanders...apparently it is some bear! Anyways, here is your peek Miss T! And I *can't* wait for our RA reunion this December!!!

*{Reminisce}*

Now that laundry is caught up and the van is vacuumed out from the 20 hour road trip, I thought I would just blog a bit about our trip to So Cal! It is always great to go home to Temecula. My husband and I both moved to Temecula during high school and have many fun memories from a tiny little town. It is definitely not that tiny litttle town any more...there used to be just one high school and now there are at least 4...maybe more! Nevertheless, it is always fun to go back to sunny CA. I had a blast meeting up with a couple of friends I went through the Teacher Credentialing program with at Cal State San Marcos...we got all our little munchkins together for the first time! And I even got to see my good friend Erin...not only did we get our girls together one morning, but I also got to shoot her two cuties in Old Town Temecula. Then on another occasion, I got together with my friend Meaka. We were both actually RA's at UC-Riverside back in the day during college! Yes, I was one of those "dorm mom's" that kept the chaos at bay in the hall! Actually, it made my college experience that much more memorable and an absolute *blast*. Lastly, I even got to take the girls to Sea World for the day...I never thought I would hold dead fish to feed the animals until I had kids!

OH, and I almost forgot...I was able to take a mommy's day off and go to the spa with my sister. AHHHHHHHHH! I would give anything for a good facial! I'd forgo any spa treatment out there for a facial! LOVE them! I love it when the facial is so great you don't want to, nor need to, wear makeup for at least a week or two!

All in all, we had a great getaway and wonderful road trip! We even made a detour on the drive home to visit some friends in Monterey! GORGEOUS AREA!

In the midst of the fun, I was able to get a couple sessions in! It is so much fun shooting in a fresh new area with unexplored areas to me! If you are intereseted in a shoot when I am visiting in the area again, email me at lehmann_76@yahoo.com and I can get you some info! I've already had some inquiry, and it is first come first serve!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST...if you are wanting an outdoor session here in WA, I recommend we get it on the calendar ASAP! I am filling up fast for Sept/Oct., and we all know that sun likes to dissappear in the fall for a good 10 months!

The picture is from a good 'ole Temecula sunset from my parent's balcony.

Enjoy your day!

*{Oh My How She's Grown...}*

I love following the growth of my itsy bitsy clients! It is so much fun having them come back for sessions and seeing how big they've grown! Here is little Miss A at her newborn session...love those eyes!

And here she is again 8 months later!

Have a happy week everyone!

*{California Girls}*

We are officially back from our fabulous trip to So Cal! So sessions are now being edited, emails are being returned, and I am getting back in the groove. I had a blast doing some sessions in the Old Town part of Temecula, CA.

So here is a sneek peek of my favorite California Girls...now mom doesn't need to stalk the blog anymore to catch a peek of her cuties! Watch out "Mr. L", these two are going to break some hearts!

Enjoy!

*{Holiday.....Celebrate......If We Took a Holiday.....}*

{Cue Madonna's Holiday Song :)}

Just a reminder that I will be away from my office until August 21st. I will answer emails and phone calls ASAP when I am back to work! Thanks for all your patience and understanding! And I'll be posting some pics on the blog as well when I return with my batteries fully charged!!

Until then-

PS-This is just a precious photo of Little Miss B and Mr. J in a recent downtown urban shoot! Can you say precious!?! They are such cuties, and we had tons of fun walking around the downtown area shooting away to our hearts content!
