    Over at Penned & Pretty, yesterday's post featured a delicious save the date, and I just had to share it here, along with a story for all of you. One of the first {of many} sweet little things that Chris did for me involved Starbucks. He came up with this elaborate plot with one of my sorority sisters to get me to the Starbucks on campus at 7am on a Friday morning. I had no clue what was going on and willingly went to Starbucks with my friend, having just rolled out of bed sporting no makeup and my favorite old old old hooded sweatshirt and non-matching sweatpants. I was a sight to see. My...

    Yesterday I worked on a personal project and in the process of searching for old gear, I came across an old hard drive. It was the hard drive I started my business with, so I thought I'd look through images of the first wedding I photographed. As I scrolled through the images, I shook my head in disbelief. No way. Then I tweeted the following:I'll be sharing more images from that first wedding soon, but I look back to that experience with a deep appreciation and pride. I'm so incredibly thankful to my very first bride, Christina, for being wonderfully gracious and taking a chance on a new ...

    Every fall I look forward to many things, but at the top of my list is Starbucks fall flavors and any type of pumpkin pastry or dessert. So when Starbucks approached me to do a giveaway I was thrilled and knew my readers would be, too. Last weekend I made my mom's pumpkin bars and paired them with a hot mug of Starbucks Breakfast Blend coffee. These pumpkin bars are the best, the recipe is written on a worn, old recipe card dating back to the early 80's. Those recipes of my mom's are always the best kind.The Starbucks giveaway includes four flavors (12 oz bags); Italian, Breakfast, French and ...
