Day two with the girls. We went to Magic Mountain! A place to tube and where the Alpine Slide lives! {We all felt so a la Cool Runnings}

Enjoy!

After we all had a go at the Alpine Slide, we grabbed a tube and headed for the snowy mountain!

It had an walking escalator going up the mountain. HEAVEN! I would have DIED walking up it each time. It also happened to have amazing light =)

After an afternoon of getting snow down our boots and racing children down the mountain, we went out on a search for somewhere snowy, with trees to shoot. I’m just gunna throw this out there…..IT WAS FREEZING COLD.

These girls have my heart. I love them.

Next trip. Santa Cruz. July.

To say, “I can’t wait” would definitely be an understatement.

It started out as just a girls getaway. A trip to Palm Springs to hang out at a cool hotel and get to know some industry peeps. Well that went so incredibly well that we planned another trip… & before this trip was over we planned the next one. We were all acquaintances, during Palm Springs we turned into friends, after Big Bear we each had a deep and meaningful relationship with each and every woman there. I feel so blessed and so incredibly lucky to have met these girls. They inspire me to the moon and back and I’m not sure what I did to deserve them but I’m very, very thankful.

In July of 2010, we went to probably the warmest place in all of California….Palm Springs. We probably lost about 2olbs each from sweat so for this trip we decided to go somewhere cold. Big Bear it was!!! I really cannot say enough good things about this trip. I fell in love with shooting in the snow. I want to shoot there everyday. & that’s exactly what we did there. I’m pretty sure we all fell in love with the way that the snow photographs and reflects the light. It’s really Heaven….

Here’s a little peak into my week with The Traveling Hearts Society. {which, naturally, is our name <3}

We climbed over a fence in someone’s backyard and shot photos on the lake. the most beautiful view and light.
