I heart California

{Four girlfriends in the studio, taken by Christine’s fabulous other half}

There’s so much I could share I honestly don’t know where to start, so I’ll ease myself in gently with a few photographs first. My body clock is upside down, I’m on a post-holiday come-down, and missing my girls so bad (there were so many girl-sandwiches and kisses… sigh). I had an amazing time, shared with three incredible women I am so proud to call my friends. I’m in love with them all; I’m in love with California (fires and all!); I’m in love with the promise of my future… more soon.

“I’m in love with the promise of my future”… such intriguing, wonderful words. I can hardly wait for the reveal. What a blessed life you lead.

I’m so happy that you had such a wonderful, magical time in California with the girls. I hope the jetlag will ease soon. xoxo

Glad you had such a wonderful time – the jet lag should ease soon, we went from NZ to the UK (and back) and seemed to get over it quite quickly – just jump into your normal routine.
Your talent with photography will help you preserve those precious memories.

But I am happy you had a wonderful time, sweetie! And I hope you are planning a move to Cali!

i’ve been wondering if you’re moving to cali…i keep coming back here everyday to see if you’ve revealed your future plans…and i’m also hoping that you’ll start to offer blog banners as a side service to your photography business. your banners are so scrumptious. xo

Ohhhh…it sounds like you had such a soulful time in California, Susannah. I’m so happy for you. I can’t wait to hear more! I just spent the day with Frida in NYC…she is such a lovely, interesting woman, isn’t she? So glad you found each other, too. :)

OK I think I am really losing my mind, as I know I’ve read this post and thought I had left a comment, but I am now reading all your other comments and don’t see one from me.
Please pass whatever drug will help me get my memory back.
Miss you so much my dear. I heart YOU.
