Color Me Happy

So I wanted to make a lot of Christmas gifts this year and I just didn't have time. BUT I did make one for my cute niece Hannah who is 3. I crocheted this little pencil holder and then felted it. Then I sewed on the fabric and made the little slots. I think I like it so much because I love the colors. Colors make me happy and I hope this little handmade gift makes Hannah happy.

wow I'm super impressed that's such a fun idea. Since I can't crochet or felt I would probably just use fabric for the back... but I might try it!

Erin and Nate got married on November 7. It was a beautiful fall day here in Washington, DC. I was so lucky to have Jenn Link shoot with me. Thanks Jenn! This wedding was so beautiful and elegant. Erin is stunning and I loved her dress. Erin did all of the planning and decor, isn't she amazing? They had their ceremony at the Clarendon United Methodist Church in Arlington and the the reception was at the lovely Carnegie Institute in Downtown DC. This was such a wonderful wedding and they are two of the sweetest people. Congrats Erin and Nate!

Leslie and Tony < Virginia Wedding >

Leslie and Tony got married early on October 24th. I love morning weddings! There is so much light and energy about it! So If you can remember Leslie and Tony's Engagement session you know they laugh a lot! I love it. I love happy couples that laugh a lot. They got married at St. Anne Catholic Church in Arlington, Virginia. After the ceremony we went to a park to shoot some fun pics with the wedding party. The felt mustaches were my fav! The rain stayed away from us all morning while it seemed to have poured everywhere else. It was a good day!

Jennifer makes me smile. I can not look at her pictures and not smile! Jennifer and Jason live and met here in DC but went to Texas A&M. They are getting married down in Houston and my friend Ashley K is doing their wedding photography. They wanted engagement pictures up here so Ashley told them to call me. I am so glad they did because they are such a fun couple to be around. So Jennifer and Jason here are some of my favorites!
