{crafting projects} the frame

I've always loved those cute frames in stores with the big bow on top, themed however you like them. I just can't ever afford them. So, a great friend of mine is getting married soon, so I decided to combine my crafty skillz with my design expertise! This is what I came up with. What do you think?

fall portraits :: {engagement} jenny & stevie

Had a great day down in Prosperity, SC and then also in Batesburg-Leesville, SC. The weather was perfect, just a cool breeze and not too bright. We enjoyed taking some photos down by the church where they may be getting married, and over at the bride's families' house. Fun barns + a great couple = an awesome shoot.

Here's a sneak peek just to hold the bride over :)

weekend update :: hilton head island, sc

wow. does hilton head have tons to offer? seems like to me its going to be my new vacationing spot.

friday night [very late] my family went to hilton head for a quick stay while the guys went shrimping. man. how awesome are fresh shrimp. not too much beats them. we found a gorgeous little condo beach front. the weather was perfect, the shopping was ideal, and family time was exactly what i needed. we laughed, cried [because we were laughing] and hardly slept. we watched the guys bring in their catches that made us proud, had plenty of driving (mis)adventures, and jammed to oldies while driving with the windows down. couldn't have asked for a better weekend. sunday before heading back home, we decided to explore Harbor town, and oh my what fun that was. we enjoyed walking around at the harbor, looking through gift shops, dreaming about being on one of the huge yachts, and ate great seafood at one of the waterfront restaurants. so. much. fun. we finished up our trip with some ice cream from salty dog cafe. enjoy the photos :)

oh yea. i can't forget the lighthouse in hilton head, and the dolphin sightings on the beach. priceless.

so where's your next vacation? here.

:: peace

what does peace mean to you? is it a song? a happy feeling? a butterfly? a person? a moment? a place?

peace to me is serenity. i love the simplicity of a butterfly. especially yellow ones. me and a few special members of my family know what i'm talking about. it just seems like when you need peace the most, its right there, in a form you didn't realize you needed/could see it in. know what i'm talking about?

i took a little "peaceful" adventure through the butterfly gardens in key west florida. wow, is that peaceful to the extreme. yes, its a sweltering temperature in there, but sometimes you have to endure "the heat" to get the peace, ever had this experience? i know when you do get to that point, that's what you appreciate. so, for you, enjoy these peaceful images i took at the butterfly gardens. and next, take a trip here.

:: fall wreaths

i thought i would do a blog post completely dedicated to fall wreaths? why? because they are so charming. what doesn't make you smile about a wreath? they are [mostly] handmade, color, full of love, and unique. here's some of my favorite fall wreaths.
