I’m feeling especially romantic today. Over the weekend my little brother got engaged and I found out that dear friends are unexpectedly expecting a baby – they have twins by way of IVF that are turning one today, and this time conceived the old-fashioned way despite believing it was near impossible. How’s that for fantastic love-related news!? Plus, my Charlie started walking yesterday. What an excitement-filled weekend we had! Want to see him walk? Of course you don’t DO!
I thought this sweetly styled love shoot would be perfect for this Monday before Valentine’s Day. Inspired by one of my favorite movies, The Notebook, it is the perfect set of romantic photos to inspire your preparation for a romantic day. My husband and I are celebrating Valentine’s Day today (it is way easier to get a sitter and a dinner reservation on the day before Valentine’s Day!), so this is my little bit of celebration of love.

















so sweet, chandra.
Sounds like a fun-filled weekend! Sweet way to start the week, too. 🙂
What an adorable, shoot! Such a lovely start to Valentines Day week 🙂
Love this! All of the details are so spot on.
The outdoor weddings are timeless! Such beautiful pics!
Perfect DIY wedding. This is what it is all about.
Oh man! The romantic in me just shed a tear! LOVE! On a side note, I got to meet Ryan Gosling at last summer (got a hug & took a pic)… skip forward 1 year, my hubby still can’t look at Gosling without getting jealous… he was that good looking in person! 😉 hehe.
