Engagements, LA style...

My photos from an engagement shoot in LA. The light was so amazing it was hard to take a bad photograph!

A New Addition

We have a new addition to our little family! Sunday I met the sweetest little black lab mix at an adoption fair in Maplewood, and I couldn't resist. He's such a cutie and is completely in love with Pig. He follows him everywhere and keeps trying to snuggle with him (Pig on the other hand is not as thrilled)...

LA Part II - Sneak Peak

Check out this great video of my time in LA! Look for me at 0:52 seconds :)

LA - Part I

Well I finally have some time to update my blog and to fill you all in on my wonderful experience in LA. When I landed in LA I felt such a mix of emotions, I was nervous (it was my first time driving in LA) and excited for the new experience. I booked an extra day to go and explore so I spent the morning at the Santa Monica Pier, and then drove up the coast to Santa Barbara. It was so beautiful! 

Recent Work

I just got back from LA and I can't wait to share some photos from my trip, but before I do I wanted to share a few photos from the family shoot I did right before I left. These two little guys are completely adorable, and so fun (plus they are very photogenic).... Enjoy!

Wednesday Wedding Inspiration!

Why, hello again! So sorry I missed a week of wednesday wedding inspiration, but things have been crazy around here. We've had non-stop rain and tornado warnings (which is bad news for my internet connection) and are still trying to get settled in our new place.

With the Royal Wedding of Will and Kate merely hours away, I wanted this weeks inspiration to be inspired by royalty! Enjoy...

 There has been so much speculation about what Kate's gown will look like! My friend Jessi swears she will wear sleeves and something form fitting, but I think she will channel Diana and go big and bold like this dress by Ines de Santo. 

 This table setting and flower arrangement are just beautiful, and fit for royalty. I love the gold accents and the flowers cascading down the cake. 

 Aren't these little crowns sweet! They are actually edible, and I think they would be great for a Royal Wedding Party!

 A twist on Kate's dress (this model looks so much like her!)

 I personally am not one for big ornate rings (no offense Kate), so I really love this simple sapphire stacking ring. 

I can't wait to see how the wedding turns out, and to test my predictions!

P.S. Many of the images above are from Style Me Pretty. They put together an AMAZING Royal Wedding Inspiration photo shoot (they actually set the whole thing up just to take the photos) and I must say I think their styling is beautiful, and what I think the wedding will really look like!

Wednesday Wedding Inspiration

I've been completely swamped lately (we're moving tomorrow!!) but I wanted to stop by and post some quick wedding inspiration. I'm in LOVE with watercolors right now and keep thinking about how cool of a theme that would be for a wedding. Enjoy!

 DIY Watercolor Napkins, instructions here.

 This place setting and tablecloth is amazing. I'm betting it would be a fairly simple DIY project too!

 Watercolor Guestbook and Macaroons... yes, please!

I think this invitation is so simple and sweet. How fun would it be to make these and create a unique invitation for every guest?
