so i have not blogged in a little while, sorry! on a business note i hired an accountant this week and she is amazing! letting go never felt so good!  i am so happy to post these pictures! here is emily and frank. emily is friends with one of my all time favorite past brides talida. shooting circles of friends is always fun! we went to old town alexandria for their shoot and i fell in love with that place!  it is well..old. i love it! emily and frank are so funny and we were constantly laughing. we went to several alleys, the torpedo factory, captains row street, a pier on the potomac river and just random places in between. i love places like this were we can walk a few blocks and shoot so many different looks. anyhow, emily and frank are getting married in may here in virginia. i am so looking forward to their 10 course chinese dinner. YUM!

althea over at pearls events contacted me a little while back. she is an awesome event planner in  west Michigan. i follow her twitter and she is such a happy person! (by the way if you want to follow me on twitter click here)i am so honored to be her photo blog of the week! thanks so much althea!!! be sure to check out pearls events for more fun wedding ideas. 

so i just was reading elizabeth ann designs blog and look at what i found. montage-a-google is an application that generates montages from google searches. so you enter in a name or key words and it creates a montage for you. for fun i entered in my name and this is what popped up! pretty funny! i am not sure how it works or why some pictures are there and some are not. pretty fun though! the girls at EA entered in colors or phrases to get inspirations for wedding ideas. anyhow go check it out. 

so i did not book weddings this summer to do the move and get all settled in while josh was in that school the last two months. i love that i have the time to fix up my office and get all organized. at first it was cool having all this time off but now i am missing shooting so much. i don’t have a wedding until october and i actually really hope a few last minute weddings come my way. if not i may just see if any of my new photographer friends here need a second shooter. yes, i miss it that bad, i am volunteering to second shoot. anyhow, enough of me whining about wedding withdraws. on to the transformation of my office. so lets see. we (as in josh) took down the “god bless america” wall border, hung the cool green curtain to separate the office from the dining room. we also put up some picture rails and added a little furniture. i just love the way it turned out. in the morning imagine jason mraz and a big cup of coffee. in the evenings a glass of wine and adele (thanks veronica!) and there you go!  come on over! before  after
