MIA
STOP transforming!
See you next week!
Display Thursday: Kitchens
I’ve got some serious wall space in my kitchen that is crying for artwork. And since I’m substitute teaching in a Home Ec class today I thought it only appropriate at stick around food. Turns out high school kids are pretty awesome. Plus I know a bunch of them and a hug first thing in the morning is always a great way to start the day. So let’s kick it off with a breakfast of champions!
And speaking of breakfast, I wish I had a breakfast nook. I love love love this space. Big full windows, a banquet and a tulip table? Yes, please. But the photos at the top of the wall, what a perfect extension of the moulding! Uniformity in frames and mats allows for a mix of artwork (perhaps kid art, family photos, or other artwork).

Who says you can’t utilize the cabinet housing your fridge as a canvas? I love how this family incorporated bins, note board as well as artwork. And all of it is coordinated by shades of teal. Perfection!

Even though this is much like the first image in arrangement there is a lot more space between the cabinets and the ceiling. They kept with the color scheme of the kitchen even in the artwork, black and white. I’ve got a chunk of space above my cabinetry and I think something like this would be perfection. A friend of mine asked me when we’re painting my cabinets white. This friend painted hers last fall and is also six months pregnant. I think she’s bonkers! That or she was really happy I made her chocolate covered, heart-shaped, rice krispie treats! Probably the latter.
Today
This weekend, was just perfect. I pretty much snuggled on the couch with Sir Luke the entire time. Blissful! Of course Ripley nosed into our laps almost constantly but how do you deny a face like this?!
This week I’m working on getting more details together for my styled wedding shoot. I’m so excited to share it with you in the next month. It’s like putting together a wedding all over again. I don’t know how planners/coordinators do this day in and day out! It’s crazy!
Display Thursday: Easy as 1, 2, 3!
New start my friends, new start.
ONE, although it may be the loneliest number that you ever knew is often all you need to brighten up a bland office wall or hallway. This room is likely anything but bland. This is the seating area of a bedroom. The image is perfect for the space and being the one lone piece for the large wall the scale of the image had to be huge as well. Keep that in mind when deciding to put one photograph on your wall. The bigger the empty space the bigger that one image should be. A tip: cut out newspaper to the size you think you want and tape it up on the wall. If the scale looks right you’re good to go, if not, try, try again!
Seeing Love: LaVey and Tyson Just Because Photos
I met LaVey for the first time at Katie and Ryan’s wedding last year. She and Janine, of Your Beauty Call fame, did such fantastic work on the bride and her bridal party and were such fantastic girls that I had to know them for realz. I love them both dearly.
LaVey married her beau, Tyson, on 9-10-11 (cute!) and I totally missed out on the affair because I was photographing tractors and listening to two hours of polka music. Just normal stuff like that. I’ve been trying to photograph these two beautiful people for ages. And when I say ages I mean since last May. That’s nearly a year my friends (in case the math escaped you). After some hemming and hawing over where our location would be, we went to quaint little Main St. in Boulder City. A-DOR-A-BLE. Seriously the cutest street ever.
Two words.
Candy Shoppe!!!
These two are seriously adorable. Plus they bought me a chocolate covered banana. So they can stay.
Can’t wait for our next shoot! Yep, we’ve already got another in the works. Hopefully this time it will take less than nine months to do it!
Steampunk
I only recently learned what a steampunk is after I saw a feature on Ruffled Blog of a Victorian Steampunk wedding. Apparently it’s been around since the 90s, but I wasn’t in the know. Which isn’t really that surprising…
I’m part of a little photo Facebook group and the fantastic Heather Baldwin found a local Steampunk Group called the Las Vegas Steampunk Tea Society and they were totally up for a photo shoot. There were a lot of us photographers there but there were even more steampunks, if you can believe that!
This is a serious hobby. They make their own props and clothes or combine their own creations with different finds from thrift stores or ebay. They’ll build up outfits overtime. The clothing is unreal. But the real gems were their guns or hats or goggles or, yes, even the monocle. So awesome! I think I know what I’m going to be for Halloween this year.
