When today’s engagement session landed in my inbox, I was so taken in by the rustic setting, the dreamy images by Laurelyn Savannah Photography, and that red dress! Actually Kate’s entire wardrobe and style is making me swoon. I can’t imagine a more perfect wardrobe choice for photos – that pop of color is so lovely. Oh, and Kate did the florals for the shoot as well, because she owns a wedding and event planning & styling company called Le Bash!

I love a good classic wedding. One that is timeless, that you can look back on for years to come and it would still be beautiful.

And how fabulous are those shoes!? Check out these lovely images from Katie Slater, along with some words from the bride. Read More
Charlie’s 3rd Birthday

I’ll be sharing some fun ideas from Charlie’s party in the coming weeks – it was a combination of laid-back (at Griffith Park) and toddler-friendly (bouncy house!!) with some fun creative details. We had a blast. Read More
