A true tomboy at heart, I love that this girl is always up for any adventure. What Melissa? You want to hike for a mile to get to the location? Oh, in sand? Sure, can I carry your bag for you?

With a beautiful smile and spirit like that you will no doubt have a promising road a head of you!

Tuesday @ 2 November 12, 2013


It’s time for our bi-annual Tuesday @ 2 project!  We love this project because it takes a regular day at 2 o’clock and gives us a glimpse into the lives and interests of so many different people.  This time we have adventures from China, Brazil, Florida and of course, Canada:)

If you are interested in participating with our next Tuesday @ 2 project,  please shoot us an email and we would love to see what you come up with.

Budro Wedding

The other weekend I had the opportunity to tag along with Brandi to a wedding as her second shooter.   You can imagine my glee when the bride said “So…I have two dresses and a birdcage veil…”  People, it doesn’t get better than that;)      

Married as the sun went down and the harvest moon came out these two couldn’t have had a more beautiful night to start their lives together as man and wife.  Congrats Breana and Josh!

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…
