I finally changed my name to Cheryl May Halberg!! (previously Cheryl May Knowlton).

Being newly weds Tim and I had no idea what we had to do to get my name changed! We asked around to a bunch of our friends and at first we thought we simply had to wait till we received our marriage license in the mail! But we couldn’t be any more wrong! :) lol.

We found out then that we were supposed to go to the Santa Barbara Courthouse to purchase a copy of the license. So this past Tuesday I did just that, along with heading to the social security office to get a new SS card and the DMV to update my drivers license.

As I left to go do all that I was dreading the long lines and rude people. But to my pleasant surprise it really didn’t take long at all! I must have hit everything a good time :). At the DMV I ran into an old Brooks Institute classmate Eric Distel, as well as a super cheery man working the camera. I think we all typically think of DMV workers as bitter, stogy old people who hate their job, but it was so awesome to run into a man who brightened people’s day while working at the DMV, what a blessing he is!!

I was on in Block Island, Rhode Island this past September helping my friend Jill Graziano photograph a wedding and the day after we cruised around the island and snapped a few pictures of each other!

I got soooo busy planning my own wedding after I got back that I never had a chance to share these pictures! I think this might be one of the few times where I’ve had the camera pointed at me and I don’t feel like I look like an absolute dork! (amazing how the camera can lie!!!)

I had a blast a few weekends ago shooting Jeff and Jaime’s engagment pictures in Malibu and Santa Monica! It’s always fun to shoot along the coast and I can’t wait for their wedding!!!

We just designed an AWESOME engagement sign-in book for these two! I hope that every couple I ever shoot engagment pictures for has a chance to get one of these to use at their wedding!

Wow… I’m a bad blogger!! Bad!! lol

I thought I’d uploaded these pictures on Monday… oops.

I had such a blast shooting these pictures! It had been raining all week, but we decided to make the trip up to Knapps Castle and use the crazy weather to our advantage! Sooooo stoked on how they came out! I’ll definitely be heading up to the mountains to shoot at this location more often!!!

I’ve been cleaning up my hard drives and organizing all the files and I found this video that my buddy Zak Maeda (pro trials rider extrordinaire) made of me riding.

Believe it or not, I actually used to be a sponsored bike rider. I rode for Cannondale, Marzocchi, Uptime, SRAM/Gripshift, Magura and more.

It’s been about a year since I last straddled my bike… but my buddy Zak recently asked me to meet him for a ride, so maybe I’ll post up that video to show you guys how much difference a year off the bike has made. (amazingly enough, sometimes I’m more smooth when I haven’t ridden in a while)
