3. This lovely pallet idea from Anthro I want to try.

4. Japanese Masking tape. I got crafty one night and decided to cover some clothes pins.

What do you love today?

Emily Brown - Troy just walked in the room and asked, “Why are you looking at jars of marbles?” to which I replied, “Whatever Laura loves today, I love today.”

I like the pretty linens on the pallet thingy!

You and Adam are the cutest couple in the world (besides us, of course).

Love ya!

UPDATES & ROADTRIP TO ATLANTA!

Well you may notice a few many changes to the blog! I’d LOVE your feedback on what you think of the new logo, sidebar and overall feel of the blog. Suggestions are welcome! Is it easy to navigate?? There are a few more tweets to be made still. I’m not so great at the technical aspect of blogging but I am learning!

I’ve been on a bit of a blogging hiatus recently due to LOTS of traveling! In the last few weeks, I’ve traveled from Seattle to Atlanta and lots of places in between. I’m ready for a lazy weekend but the traveling isn’t over yet! I do love to travel and its been so great to road trip, take photos and make lots-o-memories. Plus Adam is the best to travel with:)   Can’t wait to show you photos from my best friend Kimber’s wedding. Her dress was sooo beautiful.

Here’s a few from Atlanta, we went to The Varsity for lunch which was an experience in itself. It was crazy packed, I’d go back just for the atmosphere.  We also went to the Georgia Aquarium! I’d highly recommend it if you are in the area.

Lauren - This is great! I love the new color scheme and header and the side bar is very informative. I’m impressed with all your linking abilities, too. Very nice.

Tonya - It’s very nice! I like the links and the set-up.

Meg - I came from mygirlthursday. I love your prints!

Erin - I love the Varsity!
The last time I visited Atlanta we had lunch there. Such a cool atmosphere.

Jamie Creason - I found your cool blog via My girl Thursday~look forward to following you

Jenn - I love the layout, especially the color scheme. Great Job!!

thepricklypinecone - I don’t live far from Atlanta and have never tried the Varsity, will have to give it a go. I adore Atlanta aquarium, we hope to go back soon.

THE BROWNS | Bowling Green Family Photographer

Meet The Browns! You may remember a little sneak peak photo of them a week or two ago. I love love love this family and am so glad I have gotten to know them through church the last couple of years. They recently welcomed a new member to their family, I think you will see the family resemblance! He is so cute and I love how he is looking at his little fingers in a few of these photos. They were also the first lucky family to try out my new backdrop. What do you think? Also take note of their awesome green chair they got at an auction for $15! I thought it worked perfect for their photos.

If you are interested in a family session, headshots, or even just your pets please drop me an email. My openings are posted here feel free to email me with any questions you have! Additional session info is located under the INFORMATION tab above.

DRESSER BEFORE and AFTER

So I thought I would share a little before and after project I’ve been working on recently. For about oh…6 years now I’ve hung everything up in my closet and had tupperware drawers. Yes I’ve been living out of tupperware drawers for quite a while now. But that’s okay because I’m sort of a minimalist and didn’t want extra furniture in my room. (The tupperware drawers also fit in my closet…and no my closets not a walk-in ha). Anyways…one Saturday morning Adam and I went thrifting and found this lovely dresser. Or not so lovely at first… but this dresser was ONLY $20! Can’t beat that.

So after a fresh coat of paint, new knobs I think it looks pretty stinkin good. I’m happy with it at least. I also FINALLY got some of my photos printed and framed, you can see how those turned out in the last photo. Oh and the new knobs were found at Hobby Lobby and that week and they were 50% off! Oh how I love Hobby Lobby.

Oh and I also collect wire baskets, on Etsy they can sell for $20++ If you look around at your thriftstores you can usually find them for just $1 or $2 dollars. Maybe I’ll do a post soon on little corners of my home and things I collect.

Let me know what you think. Have YOU had any fun thrift store finds that you have redone? I’d love to see them!

Rhonda Smith - Like your dresser–very retro. . .thinking of the 70’s because I had a bedroom suite that color (LOL).

Lauren - Super pretty! Way to upcycle that dresser.

Laura - Rhonda- that’s awesome, you should have kept that 70s dresser! Lauren- Thanks! I hope to upcycle some more furniture soon.

Emily Brown - awesome dresser…I want one, so if you see another one at a garage sale, let me know

I predict you will someday use this in a nursery as your baby’s dresser/changing table–mark my words
