Kim's August Bridal Shower

Photobucket

I was so excited to be a hostess for Kim's first bridal shower. I helped with the invitations, decorations and putting the theme together. We had the shower at Melissa's beautiful French inspired home which made it so romantic! It turned out so beautiful!

I created a "blessing tree" with coordinating cards for all the guests to write a blessing to Kim and hang it on the tree.

Which Canvas Should We Buy?

I need your help. I have been wanting to purchase a gallery wrap canvas of one of our engagement photos for above the fireplace ever since we moved in eight months ago! We have finally decorated enough other parts of our house that I can justify spending the money on this now. So which canvas do you like for above our fireplace? I can't decide if it should be shorter or longer than the fireplace cover underneath it. I don't know if the long ones would make it look top heavy. On the blank white wall on the right will be two 8 foot long shelves (which just arrived from Pottery Barn!) with all black frames that have more of our engagement and wedding photos.

Excuse my painting project in the foreground! Place your vote:

September Stamp Club

Photobucket

I had another successful Stamp Club last Friday night. We played around with a lot of the new Stampin' Up colors and tried some new techniques. I also showed them how they could take the concept of the card above, and turn it into a scrapbook page.

Ariana: Senior

Photobucket

After photographing Kelsey and Nathan's wedding in Denver, I had the privilege of photographing my good friend, Ariana's senior photos. Can you believe this girl is a senior?? Yeah, in high school! Isn't she gorgeous? She totally worked it like a model. She has the most awesome serious face too. Love it! Here are some of my favorites.

It had been raining off and on all day and we keep pushing our photoshoot back later in the day. I had hoped to drive to the Denver art district to take photos around the awesome buildings, but because of the non-stop rain showers, we decided it to keep it close to home at a nearby shopping center.

After about ten minutes it started to pour rain, so we took some photos under a sheltered corner window.

Since the rain didn't look like it would let up for awhile, we decided to drive over to a nearby library and take some indoor shots. Ariana was a great sport and stood in the rain to take several of these outside this awesome library.

The rain finally let up and we headed back to the shopping center to get a couple more shots before being run off by a mean security guard!

Congratulations, Ariana! I hope you have a blessed year!
