Have a seat!

Who doesn’t get excited about autumn?!  Cooler weather, cozy clothes and yummy comfort food shared with friends.  Recently my friend Sarah and I were inspired to get creative and style a fall tablescape…outdoors.  

We started with quince, a fruit randomly grown in my backyard.  By using pieces that we already had on hand, we only had to purchase a few minor elements to complete the table. So for something a little different to feast your eyes upon…

Little Miss “L” {newborn}

This 8 week old baby girl was just so delicious!  Wearing her cute little headbands and chins for days she was a dream to photograph.  She was well worth the drive to Reno to catch a few snuggles with:)

Deepa’s Bridal Shower

We all wondered who would be the girl who would steal our friend Aaron’s heart. And here she is, 3 years after they officially met in Happy, Texas of all places.  Sounds like a great place to meet your other half;) 

Here’s a peek at the bridal shower that we put together for our new friend Deepa…

WPPI 2013 – Las Vegas


I like to think of WPPI Las Vegas as one stop shopping for Wedding + Portrait Photographers.  Classes, workshops, speakers, networking and a massive trade show all under one roof.  It’s like a Costco for photographers! This year I was excited to navigate through it all with 3 other photographers.  The fabulous Brandi, Jenelle and Laurie. Not only did we attend the convention which was inspiring and educating beyond words but somehow managed to sneak out to the desert for a shoot!

When in Vegas one does not often see the sun rising, but come WPPI week – you snooze you lose!

"NYNY in the morning"

Our shoot in the desert was beyond cool!  A trending artisan living in Las Vegas getting ready to unveil her 2013 Spring/Summer Collection let us photograph her and her vibrant amazing work!  Check back in a few weeks to see some images of this effervescent artist and her work.

I stepped off the plane feeling excited and motivated for what was ahead and grateful for photographers out there willing to share their knowledge in an ever-changing industry.  So much information was freely shared (not to mention the swag I brought home)!  

Here’s to a year of growth and change!

Springside Avenue Designs

Some people just don’t come into your life soon enough!    If only I had known this talented nursery designer when I was pregnant with my boys.    Cristy of Springside Avenue Designs not only creates beautiful and innovative nurseries but she will custom design the bedding as well.  Because it’s not enough being large and out of breath, hormonal and not allowed to lift anything and then have to put together a nursery!  And this way you can be the envy of all at your first Mommy and Me class!
