ABBY’S headshots

December 31, 2009 · 5 Comments

I took these headshots of my sister Abby when my my family was in town last week. She wanted some more options for her senior photos. I wish she lived here so I could take pictures of her every day! Which one is your favorite??

ROSE PETALS | and baby laughs

December 29, 2009 · 4 Comments

How cute is this baby? Her name is Emelia and I got the pleasure to take pictures of her and her proud parents a couple weeks ago. She was so easy to take photos of. She loved the camera!

We met out at the Rose Garden at Reid Park in Tucson and I thought it was perfect location. I love how these pictures don’t look like the desert for a change! It was a gorgeous day and a lot of fun. When I was editing these I couldn’t help but smile. Hope you smile too looking at Emelia’s smile!

ART | for my sisters

December 27, 2009 · 5 Comments

For Christmas I wanted my sisters to have something fun and original so I created these personalized art pieces. The top one is Abby and the bottom one is Hannah. Do you like them? They were really fun to do and I think their personalities come through. I drew the line drawings, scanned it in and then used patterns and textures in photoshop to create the backgrounds.

It’s been so fun to have them here for the holidays. We have done a lot of shopping, gone hiking, and done some home and art projects (which I’ll be posting about later). They all go home tomorrow and I’m really sad!

MY CHRISTMAS | at home

December 24, 2009 · 3 Comments

Thought I would share what my house looks like this Christmas. This year we got a real tree – so worth it! It smells so good! This is Dustin and my third Christmas together so we are still collecting Christmas decorations.

We enjoying having my family in from Minnesota so I’ve been slacking on the posts! Sorry! Hope you enjoy seeing this. Merry Christmas!

Wish we had a fireplace!

See how I did the monogrammed H here.

PRINTABLE CHRISTMAS TAGS

December 20, 2009 · 7 Comments

Hey ya’ll! I created some Christmas tags for you to print out! You like my holiday owl? haha Can you tell I was inspired by my own post on Friday? :) Just click on the link below to open the pdf and print right from there. Once you cut them out, you can either punch a hole in it to thread ribbon in or just stick double stick tape on the back to attach to the gift.

I’m in a good mood today because my whole family (sister, brother-in-law, nephew, parents, and my other sister) are coming in from Minnesota tomorrow to spend Christmas with us! It’s gonna be crazy in our little house but it will be fun! Enjoy the tags!
