Soon to be Mr. and Mrs.

Emily and Brandon are getting married next July and they needed some pictures for their Save the Date. This was my first attempt at "engagement" pictures so thankfully they were willing to march around Keeneland with me for a while and take a ton of pictures. We had a great day and the weather was perfect! Here are a few of my favorites.

Here's a link to my Picasa Album if you'd like to see more:

But don't worry, it's not ALL of them, just the ones I've edited and really like. ;) Hope you enjoy them!

A B-E-A-U-tiful Mama to Be

My friend Laura and her husband Doug are expecting a little girl at the end of THIS month! I had the honor and pleasure of taking some maternity pictures for them to remember this very special time. Here are few of my favorites.

These two are going to be such fantastic parents!

Congratulations Laura and Doug! Love to you both and your little baby girl! I can't wait to meet her.

P.S. I heart Picnik!

Still Obsessed with Wreaths

First let me say, please forgive me for my blogging hiatus. I've made a lot of bow holders, bows, and other things that I had already blogged about so I didn't have anything new to post until NOW! So, here are a few more wreaths that's I've recently made...

Cork Wreath...This little lovely is hanging in my kitchen now above the sink. I'm so excited that I finally have something to put in that sad, empty spot. This was an easy one to make although it did take a lot of time and A LOT of hot glue. Thanks to my mom, aunt, and their many friends for making this possible! (And maybe I helped a little too.) I got the inspiration from the link below. Her's is awesome and all jazzed up with bows...still trying to find something I love to give mine a little pizazz too. :D

Fabric Fall Wreath...Again thanks to some lovely inspiration from one of my favorite blogs I finally made a fall wreath that I adore. I really didn't want to use silk flowers this time so the fabric rosettes were a nice change. I used burlap around the wreath and love how it gives it that extra touch of fall.

Diaper Wreath...Last weekend I had the honor of hosting a shower for two wonderful friends expecting little ones very soon. (Another post about that later.) Since one is having a girl and one a boy I went with purple and green for the ribbon. This was done by just wrapping small diapers around a wreath form and tying them up. So cute and it made it very obvious that people were at the right house for a baby shower.

So, now it's about time to come up with a brilliant idea for winter and Christmas wreaths. Happy wreath making!
