Baby Shower for Liam!

I just got done co-hosting a baby shower for my friend Jenna. We went all out... invites, diaper cake, custom made onesies, you name it! We had so much fun, can't wait to do it again! I wanted to share with everyone how everything turned out. This whole theme revolved around the invitations that I had designed, keep that in mind next time you are looking for a invitation design, I can also expand that idea into the theme of the party!

Here is the invitation that went in the mail.


These next few shots are of the diaper cake we made, I must say, it's not as hard as it looks to make!



I made her some custom onesies and hung them from a clothsline in my kitchen over the area that had all of the food.

"Liam for President. 2052." Trust me, this is VERY possible of happening!

"Made in Mexico". We went to Mexico last fall, right around the time she got pregnant, you do the math! :)

"Mom's Lucky Charm" Jenna is of Irish decent, so I had to make an Irish onesie!

"Daddy's Little Caddy" His dad LOVES golfing, it only seemed fitting.

The folk's over at Heaven Scent Bakery in O'Fallon took my crude drawing and made this cake. It tasted as good as it looked!
These washcloths turned out beautiful, you get to pick out your color washcloth and your style fabric and she makes them and ships them in record time! You can check out her Etsy here The Freckled Elephant


Of course we also had to have personalized silverware!

These were how the favor gifts were wrapped. As you may have already guessed, I love blue and brown so I got anything blue/brown that I could get my hands on to decorate with!

Congrats to Kenny and Jenna!

Jack Fogleman

A few weekends ago I met my cousin's new baby Jack, he is so adorable! Here are some shots I took of him, how cute are his little cheeks?!

Fun with Vintage and Frames!

I am having a lot of fun giving some of my older images a new look - or a old look - depending on how you see it. I think I will start an area in my esty shop showing off these creations for anyone who loves vintage. I am also looking into taking some of my prints and varnishing them onto wood for some homemade framing that lends itself to the look of my images. I'll post photos of what I create!

Special thanks to Ginger who loves to brainstorm new ideas with me!

Memphis, Tennessee

I just returned from a trip to Memphis and we spent some time on Beale Street. I was able to get a few images taken, I really wanted to take some night shots but with no tripod and the streets getting too busy at night, that idea fell through. You will also see some antique shots that I took at one of the shops on Beale Street. Enjoy and please let me know your comments!

Connor Joseph Johns has arrived!

Friends of mine Jason and Sara Johns have a new baby boy they are bringing home tomorrow. He was born on Monday January 26th which was also my husbands 30th birthday - very cool! I was lucky enough to be able to capture some photographs to document the day, here are some of my favorite that I wanted to share...
