Welcome 2015! I’m posting this post SUPER late but I have been making sure to get plentyyyyy of sleep during this sick season to ensure I’m healthy and good for my winter weddings. 🙂 Today, I want to share how my sequin skirt turned out! This was an interesting sewing project for me because I worked […]

We are officially in the final countdown to 2015! It seems like it was last month when I opened my calendar for booking 2015 weddings and now it’s here!!! This year has been a great adventure in my personal and business life and I have to give credit to my couples and portrait clients. 2014 is […]

I have to apologize for the super brief post today! My brother, sister and I FINALLY finished my parents Christmas gift last night!!! After 40+ hours over the last three days was all worth it! I’m currently exhausted and have to move on to the next project on my list today, but I wanted to […]

With the New Year just days away, I’m learning how much of a workaholic I truly am. Not sure if it is really because I’m busy or if I am creating this busy lifestyle. Typically, this time should be a resting time … or what I thought would be a resting time. These past weeks […]

THIS is something I wasn’t expecting to post today. To get my family together in one spot and dressed for a family photo is pretty monumental! The last time we had a formal family photo taken was when I was in ninth grade I believe … soooooo eleven years? Seriously?! I think it was FINALLY […]

I’m sorry, but I had to do this … I cannot help but laugh at this!!! Next year I need to remember not to get […]

Merry Christmas Eve Eve everyone!!! 🙂 I love this season where it is okay to eat as many cookies possible and not feel guilty or re-watch classic movies at least once a week and not be bored… I guess there are only a couple more nights for me to soak this in before Christmas is here […]

Two more weeks left of 2014! Whew! I feel like it was yesterday when I was writing about 2013 … I’m super busy preparing for the 2015 year and I’m ecstatic with the plans I have!!! This past weekend I was working a little bit at a time with redesigning my website. I’m not going […]

I don’t get the chance to feature my work often through other blogs, so when it does happen I’m excited to share with you all! Yes, this was on my list of things to improve this year (submissions) but I am very appreciative of what has been featured just in this one week! 🙂 I have […]

We are officially in the final countdown for Christmas! Exactly a week away! AH! 🙂 With Christmas parties and festive events happening I wanted to put together something cute after being inspired by a Christmas posting I wrote earlier this month. After looking up how much a tulle skirt was (easily over $100), I thought […]
