happy day-after-thanksgiving sneak peek

I honestly can't look at this picture for very long because I get overwhelmed by the cuteness, it's an occupational hazard. I hope you had a wonderful holiday! I have spent black friday editing photos and decorating the house. So happy that Christmas is coming, you have no idea :)

something beautiful

just wanted to share.  happy saturday!

lomography & travel

I got my little Lomo LCA camera in 2003, my parents were very attentive and I got it for Christmas that year. I take it with me most days and have it on hand in case I need to document something beautiful. I always take it with me on trips and I wanted to share a couple of my photos with you.
I included part 1 of a BBC documentary at the bottom of the post if you want to know more about this camera.
you can buy this camera and many many more here.

Please note: none of these images have been altered in any way, all I did was add my watermark. The color and saturation comes with the film and the magical little camera. enjoy!

pretty hair

I have seen this hair-how-to posted on three of my favorite blogs this week; the side chignon. Well I must have some seriously stylish friends because this one in particular had her hair like this back in september. so pretty.

happy saturday!

film. babies. saturday.

I love these photographs. You will see a lot more of this handsome little guy soon, he is coming to visit!
We were doing flowers for a wedding, all the ladies talking and spending wonderful time together. It was beautiful lighting and beautiful subjects.

30 years ago today

My mom and dad were leaving the house for her scheduled c-section and when they stepped outside my dad took this picture of her and I. Thank you mom and dad for everything, I am who I am because of you... and some strong personality traits. love you so much!

(please note: my mom really didn't want me to post this picture. I told her it was the only one I had from this day, sorry mom! we all love your ice skater hair!)

musica for fall

hi friends!
so I have been listening to lots of wonderful music lately and I can't help but notice when certain songs really fit the mood of the season. So I thought I would share some of the bands and artists that I feel really fit the cooling weather and falling leaves. (those of you in southern california have to imagine what this must be like) so here is what I came up with so far, please feel free to add to the list in the comment section!

please note: I can't take credit for any of the music I am exposed to, Scott has terribly good taste and I merely peruse his vast collection and choose by chance.
here you go!

• fleet foxes
• the decemberists (the crane wife in particular)
• iron & wine
• grizzly bear
• jolie holland
• murder by death
• pinback
• the coral sea (volcano & heart) thanks kim!
• the national
• she & him
• bon iver

I just put these all on a playlist and push shuffle!
happy october and happy fall.
