More awesome handmade fabric and brooch bouquets!

Monday afternoon I met up with Ariela from RBK Creations to photograph some more of her awesome bouquets. She had one in particular that she was super excited about plus a few other cool ones. Check them out:



Check out the sparkle!






Brides and bridesmaid bouquets together.








I love the cream mixed with a pop of color.


Also with the bridesmaid bouquet!








I thought this would be so fabulous for a woodsy type wedding, it's so natural and adorable.






The white and cream bouquet from earlier with it's coordinating counterparts!








Isn't this too cute? Little seashells and seahorses, which are perfect with the oceanic colors.


Be sure to check out Ariela's shop for more bouquets and info on her custom creations.

Sunday afternoon I headed down to the Lakewood area to shoot Staci & Adam's engagement session! They are absolutely adorable and I am looking forward to their May wedding. Here are a few preview pictures!











Thanks for looking and have a great Tuesday!

Ailea & Marshall Engagement Sneak Peek

Ailea & Marshall booked me all the way from Washington D.C, so we hadn't had a chance to meet or shoot any engagement session. So, I was super happy that they were able to come and do a mini shoot with me yesterday morning. We had a great time and I am looking forward to their wedding next month!











More to come soon :)

Amy, Katelin and Christopher Sneak Peek

Yesterday I had fun playing in the park with Amy, Katelin and Christopher. We did crazy stuff like roll down the hill. Okay, I didn't roll down the hill, but they did.











More to come!

Flashback Friday

My Mother, as a baby. Maybe a year old or so? Eventually I'll get around to restoring this photo, but, truth be told...I rather like it the way it is.

Etsy Wedding Inspiration - Hodge Podge!

I decided just to share some random wedding favorites from Etsy today. Enjoy :)




This amazing fascinator and veil combo is..well.. amazing! I love the bold colors. From seller Liaison!



Check out these adorable drum set cuff links! Not only are they awesome for the rock and roll person in your life, but they're only $14. Sweet. Seller Dabble Designs also has other cool cuff links and tie tacks including skulls, coffins, celtic knots, and many others.



This gorgeous red dress is perfect for a bold bride. It's sexy and refined at the same time. The color is absolutely delicious. From seller Rubypearl.



I am a huge fan of a large, chunky bracelet. These bracelets have real, dried flowers on them. Isn't that cool? From seller JJ Evensen.



These cute wooden cake toppers made me smile. They're vintage-quirky-cute and I love their simplicity. You can get a custom order from seller Together Forever.



A unique way to send out your Save the Dates...Magnets made from real travertine tile! Made by seller Angel Ellie.


Thanks for looking and have fun with your Etsy browsing.. I know I always do!

A quick Easter session in Highland Park..

Two Friday's ago I met up with this group for a quick Easter session down in Highland Park. These little ones were adorable, even if the tiniest one didn't care too much for having her photo taken. To all my parents, don't worry! I know that generally between 18 months and 3 years, children can be a handful when it comes to picture time. I am used to it and never afraid to chase them around :)



Little sister...






Big sister...


Cousin! :)






I actually really like the way the littlest one is standing off to the side, it seems so real to me. :)












Thanks for looking and I hope you're having a great week so far!
