I find it incredibly hard to believe that this year is already nearing it’s end- YIKES!  I’m a bit nervous to whip out my list of “what I wanted to accomplish in 2009″…but maybe I should so I can hurry and try to do them.  ;)  But before I jump tooo far ahead of myself, I wanted to make sure and  let clients know our print order deadlines.

If you would like to place an order for prints, canvases, or DVD of your files, you must send me your order by December 1st (at the latest) to receive it by Christmas. Was that a little absurd to bold the whole line?  I just wanted to make sure you saw it.  :)  Also, If you have a special circumstance (like a resent session or one coming up), please let me know if you have any questions regarding holiday deadlines.  If you are a past bride or groom and would like to order your wedding album with our current pricing, you must have your order in to me by December 31st.  Any questions at all, please email me at info@studio3z.com.

On to a little randomness….

While we were out doing photo sessions in California we also had a great time visiting with Brett’s brother Jason, and meeting up with some of our friends who are out there.  We mentioned in one of our posts from our trip out to LA last spring that Brett randomly found one of his good college buddies from New Mexico living less that a mile from his brother in LA!!  It was so cool seeing these guys reconnect last March.  Of course we had to hang out again with Amery and his lovely wife Felicia, and they had us over for an authentic New Mexican dinner….my husband was in FOOD HEAVEN, with green chile stew.

We began with a drink that Jason made of muddled cilantro, tequila, and Negra Modelo.  I was surprised how wonderful it was.  HERE’S the recipe from Jason’s site.

One of my favorite things about California is the food.  We love different types of food, and LA is chock full of variety.  Below is one of our breakfast places we went to.  I was laughing at our food…Brett and Jason got all the healthy stuff, and my food was all brown (but freaking good).

Another place we went to was “Street.” A restaurant that serves street food from around the world.  LOVED the menu.

Brett and Amery, being themselves.

A sweet photo of Amery and Felicia.  :)

Felicia and little ol’ me.

Two (precious) brothers.

Happy weekend to you!
