Thanks for stopping by!

I love to celebrate beautiful things!   My interests include anything crafty, colorful and fun!  I love to travel, cook, craft, design, create, entertain, decorate, sew..and the list goes on.  Stunning images inspire me and I hope I can share a few things here that will inspire you too!

I have always loved photographs.  My grandma has always taken a million pictures and it inspired me from a young age.  With my first 110 camera I captured fun memories of family vacations and everyday activities.  Since having kids my focus has turned to the art of the portrait.  In my eyes the "perfect" portrait doesn't mean a creaseless shirt and stiff poses, but instead a twinkle in the eye and a glimpse into the soul. 

My specialty is children.  I love to capture them in their natural element.  I want to capture who your child is at this moment.  The little noses, funny smiles and dirt covered faces that make them the person that they are right now. 

My approach is VERY relaxed...very "photo journalistic."  I'm not a girl that likes to pose.  My idea of a perfect shoot is to meet you somewhere fun and let your kids play and be themselves while I fade into the background.  I believe it's those moments that you truly want to remember.   Anyone can take a picture.  I want to capture a moment and tell a story.  

I'd LOVE to come play with your little ones.  Think of a place where they are happiest.  Disneyland? Chuck E Cheese?  Krispy Kreme?  Think outside the box.  Let's get together and let them explore, get dirty and have some fun!  Those WILL be your cherished memories!   

Party Idea: Host an Old Fashioned Soda Bar

Monday, July 20, 2009 Posted in Design, Eat This, Eye Candy, Hostess with the Mostess, Party Ideas

I was looking around a few of my favorite blogs last night and stumbled upon this little gem of an idea over at Project Wedding. Didn’t I tell you I love wedding sites??? ;)   


If you’ve ever been to a little party of mine you know that I LOVE retro soda.  It’s way expensive a lot of times and totally frivilous but I LOVE the glass bottles, bright colors, and vintage labels.  YUM!!!  I definitely consider it a decoration.  Around the holidays many of my favorite soda and juice makers (Jones, Boyer and Izze) create special flavors and colors just for that particular holiday.  Jones make a candy corn for halloween and gingerbread for Christmas, Izze has special blackberry just for hallowen.  So fun!!!  So you can imagine my pure delight when I saw these images….

you can find them here.


A couple of my favorite places to find sodas are Costco (cases of Izze bottles for reasonble prices), Cost Plus World Market (their selection varies by store), Target (great selection of Jones) and BevMo.  They have a GREAT selection of TONS of sodas by the bottle or case in the back along one ofthe walls.  It’s great if you want a large variety because you can by them by the bottle.  If you’re looking for even more you can find a bunch at Beverages Direct This one is my favorite at BevMo:

  It’s hard to find, but if you love all things pineapple like I do, it is a MUST try.  Waialua Soda Works  definitely knows what they’re doing when it comes to soda!!  I just wish they were closer and I could try them all! :)   Good news though, you can order them directly through their site linked above! 


I think I feel a photo shoot coming with these fun colored sodas…hmmm…


Hope you’re feeling inspired!!


Have a great day!
