Lovely ONA Camera Bag

I have been searching for a camera bag....for a while...a long while...over a year while. 

I am indecisive and picky. There, I said it. 

I know what I like and hate to settle, because I firmly believe the exact item you want exists. 

ONA announced their latest bag, The Venice, and it might be THE one. Just maybe. It's the closest yet. Beautiful camel leather, gold hardware & tons of compartments. I need to get my hands on one of these just so I can examine closer. {Yes, I'm THAT particular about my bags.}

What do you think? Should I start saving up? Worth the splurge?

PS :: How cute does that model look? Makes me want to hang out at a flower shop.

Lovely Anne Marie & Boots

I've known Anne Marie since Kindergarten. So, when she asked me take her engagement photos, I couldn't say yes fast enough. She is definitely one of those friends where you pick up right where you left off, no matter how long since your last chat. In my book, that is the best kind.

Boots {what a cute nickname, right?}, couldn't be a more perfect fit.
Spending the evening with this couple was such a treat!

Lovely Farmhouse Delivery

This morning I received a fresh present on my doorstep. Ever since I signed up, I have been chatting non-stop with excitement regarding my recent purchase. Say hello to my new culinary friend, Farmhouse Delivery.

You sign up to have fresh, local produce delivered to your door, once a week. Amazing, right? I was like a kid on Christmas when I found the big plastic bin filled with colorful goodness. Naturally, I decided to have a twenty minute photo shoot, just to show you guys.

Beautiful, right? The aren't kidding about the fresh factor either, look at those roots. Just plucked. Another great feature about this organization, their emails. Yesterday, I received a detailed note that included a list of items in my box, storing tips & recipes. Again, kid on christmas morning over here. 

Hop over to their website to find out more. I could spend all day over there clicking through their recipe archive.

Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go plan my fresh lunch! Hmmmm, what to make first.

Lovely Erickson Family

This might be my most fun session to date. 

Seriously, I got to roll around, climb ladders and slide down the playground. The Erickson boys were a blast to follow around with a camera. The best part, they acted as location scouts and picked out where to pose and play. Little photographers and models in the making.

The Erickson family is simply amazing and I can't imagine a better way to enjoy a Sunday afternoon in the park.

Lovely Escape

Today is a busy work day down in San Antonio. 

Therefore, I am daydreaming about being stranded, in this boat, with champagne and a book.

Friday you will have some precious faces to look at, promise!

Lou-dog and I just wanted to say...

Lovely Weekend

Last weekend we sliced and diced the nights away in the kitchen and on the dance floor. 

Friday night I attended a cooking class with some of the gals. Good chance this becomes a regular thing. We loved it! I even have a few recipes to share with you guys! 

Our friends Jon and Sarah got hitched Saturday night, remember them from here? 

It was such a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple. 

Great weekend spent with the people I love. 

 How was your weekend? 

I would love to hear about it below in the comments!

Lovely Stratmanns

Some of my very best friends got married last weekend. Remember this and this? Well, they finally tied the knot and I got to channel on more creative outlet before the big day, video.

Such a blessing to be a part of their journey from proposal planning, engagement, rehearsal dinner to standing next to them in a beautiful church. My heart is filled with joy for this amazing couple.

{thanks Ashley for snapping a picture!}

Here is the rehearsal dinner video I made for them.
The ending is my favorite, makes me laugh every time. Hope you like it!

{PS: For some reason Final Cut decided to add black space to the end.
The video is over around 5:30, no need to watch a black screen...unless you want to.}
