Posted on 19. Jun, 2008 by FPD-lovely.
Day four started off with a ferry ride over to Balboa Island. A pair of dolphins escorted us over to the island to visit and shoot lovely customers at our year old Handpicked Store.
Happy Anniversary to Deanna, Stacy and their team! If you’ve never been there, Balboa Island is absolutely tiny, (yet oh so charming [...]
The Real OC – day 3
Posted on 18. Jun, 2008 by FPD-lovely.
Woke up to rain and dense coastal fog in La Jolla. We tried to check out a few old school surfer beaches on our way to the OC, but couldn’t even see the shoreline through the clouds! Rolled into Newport Beach to pick up Ashleigh, our covergirl, who had flown in from Miami. She lost [...]

Posted on 17. Jun, 2008 by fresh-E.
Tuesday, we spent the day shooting in lovely La Jolla…luckily the U.S. Open was all wrapped up, although we were rooting for Rocco the underdog (no offense Tiger!). Torrey Pines had cleared out and we descended upon our awesome La Jolla store bright and early at 7am.
We started the day with 5 lovely customers…one of [...]

Day One – Boulder, CO to La Jolla (penned by “Que Sera Sera”)
It always seems like an 8:45 flight is not that early until you count back the bare minimum requirement of two and half hours from door step to stepping on the plane. We started early but are always grateful to Frontier Airlines [...]

Habitat for Humanity
Posted on 11. Dec, 2007 by fresh-E.
Last Friday, a group of FP employees went to a new Habitat for Humanity house that was being built in Longmont, CO. When we arrived it was cold, snowing, sleeting, muddy, and only the foundation and subflooring existed. By the time we left, most of the exterior frame was up and we were all thrilled [...]

The preschool was funded with love by Carol Freund, mother of our [...]
