This weekend was quite an exciting one, an emotional roller coaster to say the least! First on Friday afternoon I found out that I made the cut for a list for cream of the crop photographers, Boudoir photographers to be exact, and I almost died when I found out! I didn't think I would make it, considering I'm such a small fry to everyone else in the world. But out of everyone and 220 people chosen, I was one of them! All I could think of was "WOW, this is simply awesome!", while jumping up and down in my chair and clapping my hands! Let's just say I went to bed that night, very happy!

Saturday morning my heart dropped a little bit when I found out that some of my images were stolen and posted on some other person's user page. Sure, they kept my watermark on the photos as if thinking that would be okay, but it was just disappointing that they would just take them without letting me know. If they had asked, I would have probably said "Yea sure, here you go!"...but the fact that they just took them...just made me really sad. So, if you're thinking of taking someone's images for your own use, send them an email first.

Then on Sunday afternoon, I headed out to the airport pick Adam up from his week long business trip to China, and I couldn't believe how excited I was to see him! Life is just way more enjoyable and fun with him around! Adam is the one who's hand I hold when we drive down the highway together, cuddle next to when I watch hockey, and the one who I talk to when things are going on or I need to make a decision about life and/or business - and considering the previous two days, I couldn't wait to sit down with his hand-made cup of coffee and just spill my heart!

Thankfully Monday is here, and I'm so happy that I've held his hand, cuddled next to him, and sipped his hand-made coffee while I spilled my heart!

Ek!! I'm so excited I could yell it from the roof top, dancing and singing along the way! I've envisioned this for quite some time and am so thrilled that it is finally here! Do you want to know the hardest part of doing this whole thing? Coming up with a name! A name for goodness sake! I talked with so many people asking their opinions on about 2 dozen names, flipping from one to another. Finally with the help of some amazing photographers, I settled on Couture | Grad!

If you or anyone you know is going to be a grad of 2010, or even graduating in 2011 tell them about Couture | Grad! It's a fabulous photo shoot experience where I concentrate solely on them and who they are!

Sometimes you can get so distracted by life or what is on your to-do list that you can completely forget about all the fun things going on. For instance, this beautiful session that I had before the new year! Can you believe it, the New Year!! I love how bight and colourful this session is, but also the slight edginess to it. The light fell really quickly and the fog rolled in on us but we had such a great time!

Kelly envisioned what she wanted this session to look like, and we had been planning and talking about it for some time talking about locations and hoping for the perfect weather; and when the day finally came, we were both free and could trek about to make it happen.

While listening to my iPod and her trying to play along to the songs on her guitar we had a blast and I simply adore these photos! A big shout out goes to Liane for being an awesome assistant that day!!

Enjoy!

It is simply beautiful today that it is making it really hard to convince myself that staying inside is a good idea. I don't think I'll last much longer! I am, however, working on a project that I'm so excited to share with you, hopefully very shortly! This weekend I will be finalizing the details and then hopefully next week I can share it with you. I'm seriously so excited about it!

I wanted to wish you a wonderful and hopefully sunny weekend and leave you with something that I simply adore. My Paloma's Nest bowl that my best friend Sarah gave to me as a birthday present! It arrived on my door step last week and I squealed with delight that I finally own one! It's a great place to hold my rings when I'm cooking, and how I do love sparkly things!


Thank you Sarah for the beautiful bowl I'll always remember our trip to see the fireworks, and happy weekend everyone!

Who loves to wear dresses? I do! I never used to be this way, I used to only wear jeans and t-shirts (until the bank wouldn't give me what I wanted cause I looked like a slob I decided to change the way I dressed), but in the past couple of years I've really loved embracing my feminine side and am always trying to fill my closet with dresses.

My favorite ladies to watch for their fashion style is Brooke from One Tree Hill, and of course Serena and Blair from Gossip Girl. One of my favorite dresses from last seasons Gossip Girl was Serena's dress that she wore to her mother's wedding to Bart Bass. The moment I saw it, I wanted it! Of course, I don't own it and probably never will...but I did search to see if I could. Even if I did own it I would have no wear to wear it, but you can sure bet I'd wear it around the house!

I do think, that if I had an event to go to this year like a graduation or a formal wedding I would find a way to find a dress similar to this one. I simply cannot get over it! Anyone wanna through an event that they'd like to invite me to so that I can wear it?!

Do love to wear dresses? What shows do you watch to get inspired about fashion?
