my friday night ...

It's friday night ... my {occasionally}wonderful son is {thankfully} in bed & I'm trying to regain a little of my fragile sanity. We've had one of "those" days! Hopefully the hubby will be home monday & i can get a  little "alone" time. *big sigh* I have requested my husband's credit card to help me through the next few days but i am not holding my breath. That doesn't preclude me from doing a little window shopping so i figured i'd share some of the items on Etsy i am "coveting" tonight. This is one of those posts i really need to send to my husband ... you know just in case! 
this is would look gorgeous in my kitchen ...

yes another tote ... because you can never have too many!


this bracelet is too fun ...


perfect for summer deserts ...

everyone should live by this moto! 

Jacob would totally rock this shirt ...


& this would be perfect in my new office! 

& now it's time to "kick back" put my feet up & enjoy some quiet time. Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? Our Saturday will be pretty dull, editing & trying to do more stuff around the house as i try & cut down on pre "move" crazy! Then Sunday hoping the weather holds & I'm photographing Kaiserslautern which should be fun, part work part something i {want} need to do before we leave. 

Have a great night.

everyone needs a little Jacob in their life ...

So what with trying to get things ready for the crazy to begin & a wonderful last minute weekend away with the hubby to salzburg i haven't had a chance to edit let alone blog. I've had a couple of shoots that I'm excited to share with you, a going away present from a wonderful friend i need to photograph for the blog (oh how well she knows me) & of course personal work that seems to be building up a little more than i would like. & the hubby is off gallivanting around the world for work (ok i admit he is you know working but still) so it's just me & the munchkin for the moment. 

So today I'm sharing some of my favourite recent photos of Jacob. As you can imagine we had a little fun with this "shoot" & thankfully no accidents! 
& the moment where once again this little boy breaks my heart & i am reminded just how blessed i am!
Have a wonderful Thursday everyone

a pretty lady on the blog ...

I love my job ... i really do. I love that i get to photograph gorgeous ladies, i love the look of surprise on their faces when they see an image, not realizing how stunning they are. I love that they walk a little taller out of the studio because they realize how amazing they really are. & this lady is no different. She's courageous in so many ways, a wonderful lady, so easy to talk to, a mother, active duty military & well gorgeous. She made my job easy & totally rocked the shoot! 
Hope you're all having a wonderful week & getting ready for a gorgeous summer weekend (that's wishful thinking on my part).

i love me some poppytalk handmade ...

So in recent months i have been lucky enough to participate in the Poppytalk Handmade Market ... & wow is it filled with talent. Not just a little bit of pretty but well all kinds of pretty ... the kind of pretty that makes me want to go on some major shopping spree. So here i am sharing some of my favourites with you because well these shops are gorgeous & Poppytalk do such an amazing job at promoting & showcasing our goodies. Plus sometimes it's nice to have somewhere a little smaller than etsy to shop, helps narrow down your choices (& you know with Poppytalk the choices are going to be great)! 








Happy hump day everyone! xx

So hello ... & welcome to my little slice of the internet. A place where you can check out pretty pictures (i do love me some pretty pictures), see some of my favourite (yes that is favourite with a "U" being that i am english) things & hear my ramblings. & i know my spelling & grammar are hideous just be grateful you're not having to read my handwriting as well! Anyways i decided with all the changes going on it was time for a new blog, something fresh & inspiring & full of pretty.
Happy Monday everyone ... & take a minute to swing by my shop on etsy to check out some more of the things i love ... or find me on facebook
