Busy as a bee

I've been SO swamped lately and have a ton to blog about once I finish editing some projects today and tomorrow. In the meantime watch this fabulous video from Colbie Caillat. She is a great new singer from California that is on tour with Goo Goo Dolls now. I have lots of fun tid bits coming in my next few blogs from my new weekly travel tips for honeymooners to some great new album designs! Stay tuned.

Goose Bumps & Tears...

This is absolutely amazing. It will give you goose bumps and make you cry!!

Boonies...

For the past week I've been waking up at 5am and photographing properties for a landscape architect client as well as sunset shots! I literally have been out to the boonies on both east and west sides of phoenix!! My last evening I was literally photographing a planned community that was plopped in the middle of cornfields! Weird but slightly amusing and interesting. Cheers to new adventures! I love AZ!!!

So hillarious

I was just putsing around on some wedding planner blogs and stumbled upon this post from Soiree Special Events. If you are not familiar with Ok Go, you have to check them out! I was laughing out loud!!!

Back in studio

I was out in Cali this past weekend for my cousin's graduation. We have a VERY close immediate family and all of my 1st cousins are really like my sisters and brothers. We've all grown up no more then 5 minutes from each other and just love having a good time. It's the Irish O'Gorman in us!! The baby of the cousins, who I cannot believe is growing up just graduated from 8th grade and was awarded honors entering into a very prestigious small catholic high school in Del Mar. It was a blast, the weather was perfect but now back to reality! Thank goodness it is cloudy in Phoenix today!!
Happy Monday :)

Brandon Heath in town

I'm SOOOOOO excited. I follow a lot of new christian contemporary musicians and one of my favorites is
Brandon Heath . He is coming to town in two weeks! I'm so stoked. Check out his music!!

I've been working through a lot lately and my favorite song of his is Beauty Divine. Here are the lyrics: ENJOY!

Does it ever catch your eye
Beauty divine
In an old man's tears
A little girl's smile
If it feels like a song
One that belongs to you
Stop making sense
Your weakest defense
Just quiet your mind
Let the world unwind
See we're not alone
He makes Himself known
in time, His own time

CHORUS:
So Breath
Life will surprise you
Just Be
It's what the world denies you
You see
The truth is all around you
Believe

We're not alone
He makes Himself known
in time, His own time

Does it ever catch your eye

Blog stalking

I just love blog stalking! I check out so many blogs a day--it keeps my sanity going (working in an office by myself & my dog) and keeps those creative juices flowing. I was checking out the latest table trends from Bright Event Gallery and found a post from our "Grooms Night" that they put up. Check it out.

RisoStudio.com

Well after a long time past due...I changed over to One Red Key (Ryan Brannen) to design RisoStudio.com

The new splash page with news & updates is loaded. Eventhough it's just the first step...I would love feedback from people about the look.
Cheers
