This Mamalita

I spent last Thursday afternoon with my best friend, Annie in Laguna Beach to kick off her staycation. It was a really nice day and the sunniest day of the week, perfect beach weather. We walked and played on the beach and enjoyed lunch at the El Ranchito , dinner at Bandera’s , oh and there was that cocktail we had at sunset from the rooftop bar of this cute small hotel, La Casa del Camino. She finally allowed me to take a few shots of her and this one is my favorite, so natural and gorgeous.

This shot will fit right into my mamalita collection and all that it represents. I’m so blessed to be surrounded by such beautiful and strong women, it’s definitely very inspiring and so lovely to be able to capture it. My wish Annie, is that you see this photo and feel beautiful and loved because you are!

Looking at these beach photos makes me want to be back there again, can’t wait for the spring to come. I’ve enjoyed all the rain and gloomy mornings from this winter, but this CALI girl is ready for the sun so I can wear the flip flops and sun dresses once again. I’ve got lot’s more to share, this is just a teaser.;)
