For those of you who don’t know.. I also do a stint with the Carlsbad Flower Fields, teaching elementary students about the Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers we grow here in Southern California. It’s great to see them get so inquisitive and rambunctious when surrounded by the masses of flowers while on their field trips.

I just had to share this great note from Todd & Jessica who were married last December at St. Brigid’s in Pacific Beach. Their photographer, Hung C.

It’s a bit of guessing game… like buying clothes for someone- you like the shirt, you think they’d look great in that color and style, but when they untie the ribbon and look in the box, you’re still on the edge of your seat in the silent agony of Ooh … Read more

I am so proud of you!!! America’s Best Dance Crew!!! On a personal note, I can testify to the love between the JabbaWockeeZ as a family at Culture Shock Dance Studio- witnessed during my days dancing there. I was able to meet and know Belle & Rynan Paguio and the love they share. Creating the flowers for their wedding was such fun, leading up to the amazing event- never have I seen a more unique and heartfelt reception performance than … Read more
