i have a secret

attention! mini confession here....

i absolutely love storage wars (maybe because i love thrifty so much)
i love Disney movies and actually had a princess themed birthday party last year
i have painted while listening to worship music. the painting didn't turn out great but it was a lot of fun
i sing in the shower very often (who doesn't)
i ran track in college for four years
i NEVER sleep with a pillow

confessions are good and everyone has em!

my march wish list

you know it would be quite lovely if i could some how magically receive all the little "wishes" below but i guess ill just keep wishing....

the Cotton Muslin Backdrop is definitely  an investment that i need to take in the near future. i can't wait to do banging head shots, fashion, and daily life photos with this baby!

i have a funny story about this novel. today i met the cutest older lady that was reading it and really excited to go the Zora Neale Hurston festival in Florida. I've been to this festival several times while growing up but after hearing this womans excitement and thrill to go - i became over joyed to go! She was reading this novel "Their eyes were watching God"and i've been saying for a while now that i want to read more. So, here is my chance.

my plan for this year is to upgrade my iPhone to the new 4. i seriously need to burn and bury my iPhone 3GS cause it's just that bad! is it just me or does Apple make your iPhone start failing you after two years so you HAVE to get an upgrade maybe it's just me but i want to get the "older 4" after the new iPhone 5 comes out this summer so i can get it cheaper. always looking for the latest deal!

i have been literally drooling....yes drooling over this Kelly Moore bag for a while now. i saw it here and couldnt stop obsessing over it since! 

this dress is gorgeous on any red blooded girl. i actually tried it on at Urban Outfitters but didnt buy it now i have buyers remorse.

these are just a  few things that would be nice to have this march!

   

..why does planning come so easy

This weekend I went to a bridal shower for my dear friend, Hali Schaedtler (last name properly pronounced Shh-at-lar). This bridal shower was the most exciting to me because Hali and Ian aren’t really known for taking “normal” pictures together but their engagement pictures came out stunning! I’ve never seen such a super duper cute couple. Joshua Kane is their photographer and he did any amazing job!

Before Joshua......they're cute but then....

After Joshua.....gorgeous!!!

Here are a few pictures of the decorations I did for Hali's bridal shower.

the "pearl" on the ring is a Christmas ornament                          

Inside each "POP corn the question" bag was a candy ring pop!!! I thought it was a cute way to make a carnival theme bridal party girly.

Windmills, photo booth props, candy and sunflowers...just a few of the bride's favorite things!

Hali and Ian's wedding theme is carnival so I just HAD to make the bridal shower "girly" carnival themed too!

..Saturday with Sarah..

I spent my Saturday morning with my bestie Sarah on a yacht! Two years ago (gosh in 2010) which seems like just yesterday we went on a day cruise and Sarah won two free tickets for another cruise. Thank goodness these tickets didn't have an expiration date on them. So we decided to use them and do a photo shoot on the yacht with a lot of "older Boca people" watching....which was a little awkward but Sarah worked it out like a pro!

This photo shoot was truly bitter sweet. SWEET!!! because i got to spend an awesome weekend with this gorgeous and hilarious girl and BITTER because Sarah leaves for California in one week! 

...so excited for the places this girl is gonna go!!!
