Lissa in Loverland Part 2

Oh hello, happy thursday! Welcome back to part two of our Alice in Wonderland bridal shower, let’s get started with this lovely picture of our bride and groom. I love this shot! And, just to set the record straight this was a traditional bridal shower…just for the ladies but we did (as you can see below) have 3 amazing men with us…the groom, Papa Herm and our Man of Honor. We had the groom bring our bride and stay to play The Newlywed Game…and eat. We gave Melissa and Tom each a Mad Hatter picture if the answer was Tom and a Queen of Hearts if the answer was Melissa. Heather then asked a bunch of funny question like “Who does the dishes?” and “Who does your cat {Sonnnn} love more?” It was a lot of fun. We also made game boards for the guest to play along and predict the answers, of course

Lissa in Loverland

Looks like it’s going to be wedding week here on the blog… Like I mentioned on Monday, my best friend Melissa got married!! You know us gals couldn’t send her down the aisle without a proper bridal shower. Non-traditional showers are more our style and we love to throw parties the people will never forget. I think Liss’s shower exceeded my expectations. Heather and I have known well before Melissa was engaged that we were going to throw her a Alice in Wonderland themed bridal shower except we put our own spin on it and with the help of the rest of the bridal party created Lissa in Loverland. A very un-bridal bridal shower. We had the party at Melissa’s parents house, they have the absolute perfect back yard and really let us come in and run with our vision. Love them to pieces Everyone worked really hard to pull this

Once again life has gotten a little crazy and I been slacking on my posting….to say the least. One of my best gal pals got married, I been planning my own wedding, Sophia & Hadley turned two and now Jessiah has turned One…blah, blah, blah life is busy and amazing. I’m still snapping away over here. This photo shoot yesterday was just the dose of cuteness that I needed to get me back in the blogger spirit. I do truly enjoy it and have so many projects to share. Jessiah just turned one and his Mom and Dad threw him an AMAZING Dr. Seuss party that was full of green eggs and ham, thing one & thing twos’ and all kinds of surprises. Seriously I thought I could throw a party but Ms. Star has given me a run for my money. Before the party we had Jessiah’s ONE-derful shoot and I think it is

Christmas Sophia

Excuse me I have done this blog a big injustice…I never posted Sophia’s Christmas shoot. Please forgive me…seriously what was I thinking? This adorable niece of mine just can’t get any cuter. We have her birthday shoot coming up and I just can’t wait! For Christmas, Sophia got a kitchen set {{a little early}} so for their Christmas card theme we did “From our kitchen to yours” . IT WAS SO CUTE! Grab your coffee and enjoy the cuteness! I call this one the cookie bandit! She stole Santa’s cookies and still got gifts….adorableness really goes a long way she was working hard on that letter to Santa

New York City

New York City Don’t worry I didn’t get lost in New York City, I made it out of the concrete jungle alive and full of ideas. Meeting Jasmine Star was AMAZING! She is just as sweet, humble, sassy and kind hearted in person as she appears online. Jasmine talks with this incredible energy and I didn’t want to miss a single line. She said something that I will hold on to forever… “Break the Mold” Just those three short words…I think she was speaking right to me and it’s exactly what a I needed to hear. Thank you Jasmine for not just doing but teaching your perspective on life and this business is as fabulous as you!
