I just started offering albums!  They are so yummy and sexy and beautiful and....well, I like them a lot.  Below is the price sheet for either option : photo album or modern album.  Both represent all the things I love about the world of paper, ink and some imagination.

Ryan + Michelle = Vintage Dodge and Beer Pong!


Ryan and Michelle are easy-going and designed their wedding day to celebrate their relaxed personalities.  Their no-fuss ceremony was held at Pioneer Orchard Park in Steilacoom, WA.  Blue skies, Puget Sound and Tacoma Narrows Bridge made an incredible backdrop to wedding vows.  Back at their own home, they celebrated their marriage with friends and family.  Bright colored candies, a full keg and beer pong made children of all ages very happy.  It was just like them - relaxed.  Everyone had a great time.

But there was a surprise that got me extremely overjoyed, as well as, the couple.  Dodge.  A shiny black 1939 Dodge.  People that know me, know how much I love old cars.  My first car was a classic car and I still find my eyes, heart and love drawn to these beautiful machines.  There is something timeless about classic cars.  Their form; their sound; their details put a smile on most people's face.  Timeless.  But old cars have their set-backs.  They come with maintenance issues, rust spots and little reliability.  But it is worth it.  Take a ride in a classic car and you get it.  Love is the same way.  Love draws us in with our eyes and heart.  The sound of our love one's voice; the details that make them amazing puts a smile on our face.  It is timeless and will always be a part of us.  But love can come with set-backs and obstacles.  BUT IT IS WORTH IT.  The benefits you have when you love and are loved is worth the maintenance.  Keep your love timeless.










Two of my favorites of the day.  Daddy and daughter.  Ryan and Michelle so happy.









Michelle is going to be an awesome step-mom.











Ryan's sister made this beautiful cake.  Oh and very yummy.

Love Is In The Air : Campbell Family Welcomes Home Baby




When I entered the Campbell family, it was obvious.  Their home was full of love and I caught it.  When you bring home a new baby, you bring also this unique new feeling.  It isn't the same feeling as when you had your first kiss or came home as newlyweds.  No, the love you feel when you bring home a new baby fills the air as quickly as it fills your heart the moment you first see your baby in your arms.  And unlike the love you may have for your life mate; your companion which is an intimate love that grows over time  -- baby love is instant, consistent and infectious.  You remember no time when you didn't feel this way and can think of no time when it will end.  This love radiates from new parents and when you enter a home newly welcoming home a baby -- you get it too.  I left the Campbell home and drove home to my own children; my babies that are no longer babies.  I walked through my door and felt it again.  It has been 2 years since my last child was born, but it is still there.  Love is in the air.



Keep Calm and Carry On - a fantastic motto for all new parents!
