Proud to be a JMU Duke!

Yesterday … was amazing! One of many reasons why I love the JMU community! Loved seeing everyone get out of their cars sporting purples and golds. 🙂 From start to finish, I realized that I could not have put together this styled shoot without my creative team! I had 10 out of 11 JMU Alumni vendors show up for the shoot and ALL of them were a HUGE help!!! Their talents were so obvious when I saw everything come together. 🙂 I will be SURE to showcase the photos as well as the vendors once this is published. As for now, I’m going to keep it on the hush hush. Here’s a mini sneak peek … cannot show too much of what went on yesterday!

Flowers by the amazinggggg Anthomanic! And of course I need to showcase this perfect JMU tie! 🙂

So much to do today but I hope my feet can relax a little bit. 🙂 After the craziness of putting this together this month, I would say that it was SO worth it! We LOVE our University! GO DUKES!
