Kristine's Sr. Pictures

this girl is seriously growing up and it blows my mind! she drives, she's going to be graduating soon and going to college and she is a dating 17 year old! where does the time go? kristine was so sweet to let me use her as my little senior model for the evening. she was golden and absolutely perfect. i loved spending my time to shoot beautiful souls like this one & developing a new talent! thank you to my sweet husband and best friend for encouraging me to do this! little missy, i hope you the best senior year and am so excited for where life will take you!

 

                     

 

(i would love to shoot you next! let's work together!)

put a ring on it

ok so i don't know about you, but i have always had a thing for rings! especially turquoise rings, i have love for turquoise incase you haven't caught onto that haha. but i have had rings from lots of cool places. first off of course the forever 21 rings, every girl has to own one. i swear! i had this really pretty one that my friend gave me from Israel, i loved it! now it's kinda destroyed...the joys of being a decorator. wahhhh! i had few others like my CTR one, cause you just gotta!!! but now that i have been married for almost two years i only wear my wedding band and engagement ring. i guess i kinda forgot about them! sad day. But Invaluable came to me and then inspired me that hey...RINGS ARE COOL AGAIN. duh, i have known this all along! then it got me thinking. we always just wear the rings with whatever, but what if we started making the ring the focus and dressed around it! i vote yes! so here i was able to come up with some outfits that i would actually wear! now that i am a mommy i don't get to get all dolled up all the time. there was a time that i did! i PROMISE! i wasn't always a hot mess ;).
do check out there website!!! there are so many gorgeous rings on there, and other jewelry too! the prices are so reasonable for what you are looking at. and if you know me you know that i am in for a good deal. seriously, i am do cheep haha. so here is to "ring"ing in the new year with a new way to approach getting dressed up again. put a ring on it!
btw i thought my puns were hilarious, because i thought i was pretty clever ;).
 

Hello...again

my oh my oh my! life has just been crazy but it's been good. how could it not?? married to my best friend makes life a lot more enjoyable! oh and adding a cute baby isn't that bad either ;). but anyways I figured I would do a little update on life recently.
jeff and I have made the decision to move back to the great valley of Boise! I seriously could not be more excited. red robin, noodles, shopping (which I need to get done, there are not many options here for maternity or baby clothes), family and finally some design time! I have missed being able to do the thing I love, as in design haha. I love eating and shopping too. duh. boise better ready for us when we come, because we are going to attack it!! so boise ladies we have got to get together *wink wink*.
hmmm what else has been going on?? oh yeah we have been married for OVER a year. say whatttt! yeah, we are that couple now that tries to act like we have everything together. HA! NOT EVEN CLOSE! but hey it's been great year. jeff and I went to SLC for the weekend of our anniversary and had some fun being away from work and school. ate some good food (except zupas, I still need that in my belly!), got my hairssss cut, met with some friends, awed over the all the clothes at city creek, and splurged in park city. I love j crew factory! now I have to convince jeff tho to go back and buy baby clothes. pleassssssssssssssse jeff :). anyways it was so fun to get out of Idaho and spend some quality time together, we really needed it.
AND we have found out the gender of this little babe of ours! *drum roll* we are having.......A GIRLLLLLL! I didn't think it would be such a relief to know, but to be honest it is. for some reason I have been super anxious and overwhelmed these past few weeks, but now I feel soooo much better. just knowing that our baby is healthy and on the right track helps a lot. now I can move onto the packing that I have been neglecting. opps.
there's our life tho lately! it's only going to get busier and busier, but better too. here's to the rest of the week and finishing up our lives in Pocatello!
xoxo
