now this was just a little thing i got in my head. i wanted some pretty baked items to photograph. i'm ok with this for a first time try but i really had in mind some fancy goods that i see in magazines or at celebrity wedding dessert tables. i can't believe my friend and i spent the day together preparing and baking and decorating. i was surprised to not be super horrible at using a pastry bag. i bought some gold dust that soo pretty with chocolate. i used to be afraid to bake- you have to be so specific withe measurements etc. but now i know the importance in sitting down and reading over my recipes before i attempt to dive in. i've made my mistakes in the past and now enjoying baking more than ever. a beautiful final product to share with others makes my heart happy.

i love this pan i borrowed from my mom, 

i want to use it as a serving dish for cupcakes 

if i take them to a party or dinner at a friends.

i love irish names! this little sweetheart is a friends little one. she did such a great job for a four month old! it's best to take newborn photos as close to their birth as possible- this makes it easier to take photos while they sleep and to put the into poses without disturbing their sleep. this little one came tired so she did great!

check out how sweet she it-

fall family photo shoot, what fun ages of children to photograph! a one year old makes your work! i had to follow her around with her family behind me clapping and calling her name to look my way, her older brother and sister were another story- they were great and were easy to capture special photos of!
here are some of my favorites from the day

things in my home.....

this whale is one of the most special things i have. it was my grandfathers. it sat on his dresser and he would keep his wedding ring in the mouth of the whale. there is storage in the back as well. i wanted this so bad and had to get the boldness to ask my grandmother for it, my grandpa had passed away some years before i asked for it. i started to cry each time i thought of asking my grandma for it. i hope to have it on my dresser when wren is old enough to not think it's a toy.

this basket is from a trip to Botswana. woman in a villiage were selling these among many other styles of baskets. they were supporting themselves and their rights. the money went directly to them.

i've needed more seating in my living room for when we have company. my grandma was getting rid of these chairs and i jumped at the opportunity to put them in my living room! i love them! although someday i want to reupholster them!!!!!! i remember them from when i was like two at their house! pretty old now. haha

my mom recently gave these to me. my aunt made them for me when i was a little girl.

aren't they adorable!! they sit on my windowsill.

hmm just a pretty pear. part of a basket my mom gave us for our anniversary.

i love the hint of tourqouise in the background from my kitchenaid. 

a pot from the Indian Market in Santa Fe, New Mexico- held every august (i think). all the indians come together and show off their best work and of course have stuff for sale. i wish i could remember who made it so i could learn more about it. this woman created the pattern on this pot. pretty special.

an old scale we bought in fernandina beach fl, an antique store. funny that it's made in ohio. 

my mom brought me some of my favorite flowers. zinnias. aren't they gorgeous! glad i have a photo of them now since they are now longer around
