I was in Vegas recently and I remember seeing some of these people check in as I checked out. I knew it was a wedding but I didn't realize they were getting married there at the Mandarin Oriental! This

I have always loved the ballet and I admire the ballerinas and their strength! Recently we've had a few ballerina clients so we incorporated that into their sessions. Tammy and Curtis are such an

We were in Winter Park taking photos of Lauren and Brian when I overheard Brian say "did you wash my car?" and Lauren said yes. So of course I had to include Brian's freshly washed BMW. The wheels were

I get excited every February through March because the trumpet trees start to bloom around Orlando. I used to love the pink ones the best, but in recent years I have fallen in love even more with the

Our next stop on the National Park tour was Capitol Reef National Park, not a place that you may have heard of but a place that is full of American history. We took a break to stretch our legs and

I know I never finished our story about our trip out west but that is what I plan to focus on next. Just in case you didn't get a chance to catch up on the trip you can follow it in order from top to

We got up early and watched the ship come into the port of Miami. Then we headed up to the breakfast buffet one last time. Our trip off of the ship was pretty easy as well, this was the first time we chose

We had at great time a our last dinner with all of our new friends at our table. In fact we all decided to meet at the Schooner Bar after dinner to hang out and share more stories. We were all dog people

The last day of our trip and it's another sea day. We are finally sick of the breakfast buffet and it's because we are ready to get back to a reasonable sized breakfast. We headed to the track and the

I just found this awesome wedding jewelry website called Haute Bride. They have necklaces, earrings, hair accessories, lariats and more. I love to look at all of it but in reality I will probably never

We walked around the port area for a while after returning from out tour. The best part about being in Grand Cayman is you can buy Tortuga Rum and the best part about buying liquor at this port is that

I've always been a huge fan of Molton Brown hand wash - they have these great scents that I love! My favorites are Heavenly Gingerly and Thai Vert. But they can sometimes be hard to find. One year

We pulled up to the sandbar known as Stingray City where the water is about 3 feet deep and there are about 200 people wading around with a huge number of stingrays from 1 foot across to 3+ feet across.

We had an all day dog shoot yesterday at The Doggie Art Festival in Winter Park. Goblin wasn't too left out. Although he couldn't go to the festival with us, he was able to hang out all day with our

Since I had just mentioned the new Mandarin Oriental in Las Vegas and their spa I thought I would talk about a few other items I bought and fell in love with there! The Mandarin Oriental has their own

We got up early because we had to take a tender to shore and we were told that we needed to get a ticket for an early tender because we had not booked an excursion with the ship. We had to meet Chip from

It is a beautiful summer (it should be Spring - it is April after all) afternoon here in Orlando today so we decided to eat our lunch outside. We made grilled cheese sandwiches and salad and I decided

I was in Las Vegas recently for the annual WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) convention. I stayed at the new Mandarin Oriental and they had a great deal going on that included a

We had another sea day after leaving Costa Rica which we took advantage of by finishing our books and fighting for seats around the pool. We also discovered that the best time to go to the pool is just

We did a really big family portrait session a few days ago - grandparents, parents, children and dogs all running around. I was really happy with the photos and one of the dogs was a sweet thing named

Chris and I were visiting Lake Tahoe and I happened to take a look at a copy of Sunset magazine. I fell in love with it and started a subscription right away! It has tips on decorating, gardening and

I can't ever decide from day to day what color lipstick I want to wear. I really prefer glosses and when I saw this Tarte Crown Jewels Lipgloss Set I had to buy it. Here are the colors this

I get emails from Stanley Korshak in Dallas (An amazing department store you must check out if you are ever in Dallas! They also have a bridal salon there!) and the one I just got had an amazing makeup

We had a very busy weekend full of weddings and portrait shoots. But one thing stood out from the rest - our bride Kaala on Saturday had an amazing dress! And not just ANY amazing dress. A dress made

I fell in love with my bride Amy's ring tonight! They had it made so the band for the engagement ring and band for the wedding ring were soldered together to make one ring with the large stone area in

I knew it was going to be a great wedding when the brides shoes were hot pink! I love that Alison and her bridesmaids all had the same hot pink shoes. It was definitely the theme color for the

Year after year, Chanel's sets for their runway shows in Paris are over the top. The Grand Palais is gorgeous on its own and then Chanel takes over. Check out the runway from Paris last week - it

I was reading Brides magazine one day when I came across this gorgeous yellow wreath. It would look great on our front door - I need to touch base with a florist in town and have one made for Spring! This
