    Our favorite afternoons

    On Wednesdays we grab our favorite Gunn & Swain blanket, stop by Starbucks and head to the park with Lola. It doesn’t happen every week, sometimes I have a shoot and sometimes Adam has to be in the store but most weeks we make it happen and it’s one of our favorite things. Lola loves it because she’s obsessed with her ball and being outside. We love it because we get a sweet treat from Starbucks and get to read in peace (after we’ve exhausted Lola from playing, of course). It’s nothing crazy or wildly exciting but we’ve realized that it’s the little things, like going to a local park…

    Surprise Date Day / Glamping

    Honestly, Adam rocks. He is the master at planning surprise date days, and all other date days for that matter, but this one takes the cake. One day he planned a date day(s) and told me to pack something casual, active and warm. Now, I don’t care what genre you tell me, I just want to wear a dress. Lucky for me, when he came to pick me up he told me to put on pants. So, before we left he asked if I could pick up a few things at the store; garlic, a tomato, onion and sirloin steak….now, one would think this was a dead camping giveaway, but…

    What I’m loving / St Tropez Tanning Mousse

    I don’t know about you but for me having a tan makes me feel about a million times better (and like 10 lbs skinner!) This summer has already been so nuts that I haven’t had a lot of time to just go relax on the beach and work on my tan so I’ve enlisted the help a sunless self tanner. I’ve heard excellent things about all St Tropez products so I decided to give it a try. I was nervous to try it being a self tanner virgin and all but it was SO easy guys, really! I love the tanning mousse so much and having the tanning mitt was…

    Our Wedding / Hiring a Coordinator

    I’m a day late BUT I wanted to talk today about the importance of hiring a wedding coordinator/planner. Waaaay before we even got engaged I knew I was going to hire a coordinator one way or another. I’ve been to enough weddings to know that having one is 1,081,932,387% worth it and I wanted to make sure that our wedding runs as smoothly as possible. Fast forward to our engagement and the wedding planning process, the Beijos girls and I had been working together for about six months by then and I loved them, loved their vibe and I knew we would be the perfect fit…and boy was I right!…

    A hot date with some boug

    It’s officially spring which means there is bougainvillea everywhere. It may or may not be the best thing about this time of year, in my opinion. I told Adam I wanted to find some to shoot with and dang, he couldn’t have found a better patch! But let’s just talk about my jumper, yes, it’s a jumper! Tricked you, right? Usually jumpers/rompers don’t work for me (big thighs, you know) but this breezy, flowy one is just perfect and I love how comfortable and dress-like it is. It can be easily paired with some cute gold sandals for daytime wear and dressed up with a pair of heels like these…
