My Little Lady

I get really sappy when I look at these photos... of her wedding day. I feel like an old lady who says "When you were this big". Laurel has been a beautiful part of my life. Last year on New Years Eve the love of her life Jon proposed to her in Kerry Park in Seattle. A few months later, I took their engagement photos, then her bridal shower photos... and today... her wedding photos.

Laurel was my 14 year old girl who found things I said fascinating, and I was a college kid who loved to hear herself talk, so we meshed well together. Our talking developed into a beautiful friendship that I treasure.

Tonight, Laurel, on your wedding night... I am so thankful for the gift you've given me of shooting my first wedding as a photographer. I click through the photos one by one, and each one tells a story in a beautiful and funny way. I hope you love them.

I learned so much tonight. I learned a lot about myself as a photographer, and my skills with people, you gave me a wonderful wonderful gift.

I love you dear... I hope your day was picture perfect!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
