well here i am springing forward into a new adventure in my work- editing! we all struggle with what we want to define us, but like i mentioned on LeilaPie Photography i love color! all kinds of color- bright and vibrant, soft and muted and even the lack of color (every shade of black and white). trust me i am getting somewhere with this!
since it has been beautiful outside i figured i would take my little ones out and capture them enjoying the spring weather. i went on our adventure knowing i was going to try out some new looks and i have to say i am in love with them!!! btw- check out the chair, there is a story that follows...

| i have proof that they like each other ;) |

| yep it's the same chair |
like the chair? here is the story- a fellow photographer friend of mine Ami (Clickable Moments) and I have been on the search for the perfect wing back chair for shoots. well she found this one in San Diego. i thought- hey why not drive down there with the kids for a quick trip to Sea World and then to pick up the chair. when i called the lady she was super nice and mentioned that she was in San Diego county and was no where near Sea World. so my next idea was to make it a trip for my absolutely fabulous husband and i to the wineries in Temecula. the nice lady mentioned that to get to the wineries it would take 45 minutes from her place. i should have gotten the clue this was going to be a far drive when she mentioned that she literally lived in the middle of orange groves and 30 minutes away from any grocery store.
so off we are both my husband and i on an adventure neither of us will ever forget. we left that evening after my mom came to watch the kids and we told her we would be 2 hours. in my defense the nice lady said it would only take an hour to get there and anyone who knows me knows i have ABSOLUTELY NO sense of direction. about an hour into our drive and as we see the blinking bubble (the destination) on our GPS and we are no where close to that bubble my husband looks at me and asks "what did you get us into? it truly is always an adventure with you!" well here is the answer to his question-- almost 2 hours later we were in Pauma. ever heard of it? didn't think so. most people haven't and how could you this is what the "city" has--- one school, one post office, one restaurant, a golf course and an airport (probably since that is how some people get there). i didn't get a real look at the city but we passed through orange groves and the scent was fantastic. and the two families we met there were super nice (another long story- ask me next time you see me it is one for the books).
well enough of "the story" there are so many details i am leaving out but i would end of writing a short essay if i told you all of it! besides you are here to see pictures so here are more...
he looks so innocent until he...
