loved working with this wonderful family and getting to know them better – these girls had me at hello! so happy and sweet! brooklyn (the little girl on the bottom) just *couldn’t* stop smiling! what total fun! -m-
the happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home with my family. [ thomas jefferson ]
as a couple, i really want you to see a reflection of your relationship when you look at the images from your engagement session. i hope that you’ll be stunned by how lovely it is to be pictured with the person you love most beside you. and sure, if you have to fight the urge to wallpaper your home with them that’s good, too :)
molly and chad, you kept me laughing as well – thanks for a great time. anticipating your wedding with great pleasure! -m-
is how i feel walking out of kroger or target with my reusable shopping bags! they fold up pretty small, so i keep one in my purse and one in my car. these are from Peggy’s Gifts and Accessories on Clay Ave and givesimple.com sums them up pretty well:
The Murval Foldable City tote is
one of the best ideas we’ve ever seen. Now that we know both plastic
and paper bags are bad for the environment, we try to always have a
tote at hand. Murval Foldable City Totes are ideal! If you kept
one in your car, one in your desk, one in the stroller, one in your
suitcase, you would always be prepared to tote everything, and just say
no to disposable bags. It folds up so easily to 8"x4", but expands to a
roomy 15" x 15" by 4" with just a flick of the velcro. Perfect for
lunch, small shopping trips, and even wet items. If you’re planning a
summer vacation, and need a beach tote, this is the one. Give Simple
offers the Foldable City Tote in Black and Ivory Wallpaper, Pucci
inspired Insomnia print, Giraffe or Zebra. Look stylish and stay
organized.
next time you’re trying to think of a useful and practical gift, consider giving 5 reusable bags (you could tuck a sweet little note inside each one that they’d find as they started using them.
take care! – Laura
p.s. next week – weddings go green(er), too!
so, sweet claire (in the middle), gifted a friend with a portrait session and then arranged another for her siblings as a gift to their parents – how thoughtful, i thought!
mom was so in love and so i got to meet with them to plan the cutest silk-covered box of the images, images for the wall…it was so fun to meet someone just as into pictures as i think *I* am!
often children are uber-recorded when they’re little and it’s just so nice to see photographs of them as adults as well. loved how sweet they were – and instantly felt a connection to what they were doing. -m-
