Just a little wedding preview...

as some of you know, i shoot weddings for a living. 

since our move to north carolina, i've had to 

start over with getting the word out and 

trying to snag more clients.

yeah. not an easy task. 

despite not shooting as many weddings as i would have liked this year, 

josh & kara's big day really made up for it!

they had so many beautiful details & everything was just perfect.

my hubs came along and we had the best time capturing their special day. 

i could go on and on about it but you'll just have to see for yourself...click here!

oh & happy monday!

online registry = one happy momma-to-be!

ok, as a sip my coffee this morning, i thought i would share something that has pretty much made registering for baby items a whole lot more fun (and WAY easier too)...

if you're having a baby, getting married or even moving into a new house, 

My Registry is where it's at. seriously, so much easier.

all you have to do is create an account (it's FREE!), install the "add to my registry" button to your bookmarks toolbar (pretty much the same thing as the "pin it" button for pinterest) & when you find something you want, just add it to your online registry. 

it's that simple.

 another awesome highlight is that you can create a cash gift fund for those friends & family members who just don't know what to get ya. they can just send you some moo-lah. which, let's face it, is pretty much the gift we all "secretly" want. especially when it comes to baby stuff.

our baby registry is up & running so...friends & family who are reading this, feel free to take a look! ;)

happy tuesday, friends!

 

lakeside picnic.

 nothing beats a beautiful & breezy overcast day 

(i happen to love a good overcast day) 

 & time spent with the one you love.

we packed some sammies, fruit, books and headed off.

of course, we had to ward off some annoying flies while trying 

to enjoy our picnic lunch but were quite entertained as a 

small group of geese goofed off in the water.

i'm pretty sure they knew we were watching...

much love to you all & happy monday!

 

family visit.

my "little" bro posing for a picture

 mom & dad still in love & holding hands....

taking a rest.

not really sure what they were doing...

jeremy's awesome sneaks. he's pretty proud of them.

it was great having some of my fam come up from florida for a visit! as always, we wish they could stay longer but the time we did have together was special. wouldn't trade it for anything.

happy monday!

DIY maternity tunic!

i'll be the first to admit that finding adorable AND affordable maternity clothes seems impossible. 

so why not make your own?

now you can, thanks to elsie & her awesome blog A Beautiful Mess!

just click on the picture below to find out how!

even if i owned a sewing machine, i probably wouldn't use it because honestly, i don't have the patience so elsie's  DIY maternity tunic is the perfect fit for me!

hope this inspires all you moms-to-be out there!

happy wednesday!
