Morning Lavender / Valentines Day Lookbook
Recently we were asked to be one of the couples photographed for the Valentines Day lookbook for Morning Lavender, a beautiful online boutique. It was such a fun afternoon frolicking around in their beautiful skirts and dresses, snuggling up to my guy. Since Valentines Day is slowly creeping up on us you should probably head over to their online store and pick out something special to wear. I really loved that yellow skirt and the way that it flowed so perfectly and made even me (who’s 5’3″) feel tall and slender. Be sure to browse through the beautiful lookbook and shop the looks.

Remembering to breathe
1/10/15 We’re four months out and don’t have a venue. What crazy people plan a wedding like this? We do. Also, planning a wedding is REALLY stressful. Like, cry by yourself reading posts about wedding planning stressful. At the end of the day I have to remind myself that it isn’t about the flowers, or the dip died napkins or the beautiful invitations (that your guests throw away about a week after receiving them), it’s about us. Our marriage. Which is really something so beautiful. Adam talked about eloping A LOT in the beginning and even though I know it is truly about our marriage and nothing else, to me…

our proposal
What I thought was just a floral shoot I was modeling for turned into our proposal! Adam tricked me that day into thinking he was working when really he was hiding behind an oak tree just up the path from where I was. Scroll down to see all of the photos and to find the link to learn how it all went down from both sides. Well brides, I’m now one of you! It’s wild to be on this side of the whole wedding thing and I am beyond thrilled to plan our own wedding! On November 20th Adam got down on one knee and asked me to spend the…

Emotional Eating
Everyone loves to eat, right? I mean we eat when we’re happy, sad, depressed, excited, drunk, and for no reason at all. But how often does a meal tend to give you an emotion? Have you ever had a meal that moves you to tears because of its taste and connection to your past? I haven’t…not yet at least. I came across this video on Nowness and immediately became connected to chef Massimo Bottura as he talks about his emotional connection to food. http://vimeo.com/113701292 “52-year-old Bottura has propelled to three-Michelin-stars and a number three ranking in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Inspired by everything from the origins of camouflage to…
