kiss & tell….
“there is no “how we first met” story….i’ve know him my whole life. he was literally the boy next door. i don’t have a memory of seeing him for the first time…kissing him for the first time…holding his hand for the first time. i am so excited to experience all of this on our wedding day……all of our first moments as husband and wife. our first kiss…first dance…the first bottle of champagne we crack open…the first “i love you”… all the “firsts” that are to commence on our wedding day…i want them engraved in my memory forever….a freeze frame of each precious point in time. a collection of “firsts” to compose the story of our lives…”

personal style is ummm….personal….we all have those days when we feel the need for a little change….nothing changes your point of view like cutting your hair off…it can be so liberating…
& even a little scary….us girls get very attached to our hair….
i found documenting the entire process very beautiful….almost meditative…
now, we’ve all had a “bang” moment in front of the mirror…you know when you decide to give yourself bangs, & the exact moment you cut, you realize you’ve made a terrible mistake…so girls if you find yourself in need of a change, go to a professional….do not allow yourself to be alone in the bathroom with a pair of scissors & an impulse for change…trust me on this, its not the way to go….
we all know that true beauty comes from within, but it sure is fun to play with your outside at times….
personal style is simply beautiful….xoxo
it’s official….kiss the groom is one year old today….we are so happy to be sharing our birthday with a day celebrating love….so kick off your shoes & make out with the one you love….we look forward to another year honoring life, love & kisses….& don’t forget to leave a wish in the post below…xoxo
what wishes fill your heart??
peace on earth….a baby of your own…someone to love you just the way you are….more sleep…less worry…more chocolate….what fills your soul & whispers inside of you?? do you listen?? are too busy to hear yourself?? today i ask you to stop what you are doing & listen to your heart….close your eyes & make a wish….then leave your wish in a comment below & i will pick one wisher to give a beautiful wish box full of special things from my own personal collection….i believe in love & wishes…xoxo

“My 10 year old daughter Vivienne would LOVE these. We are redoing her room into a big girl room and she has chosen yellow and blue as the palette. These are just LOVELY! Thanks for always inspiring, as a woman, a photographer and a mother. I always find your work a place of “peace and happiness” during an otherwise stressful day. So thank you”
