On Fridays (well, ok I admit almost everyday) I try and play catch up on my fav blogs. Looks like Apartment Therapy and it’s other design related sections received a face lift! Green Home is now Re-Nest, and while reading up on how to make my poorly sealed windows more energy efficient, I came across myself! My photo above was featured in a eco-friendly article about plates from Tuesday. You can see my post about it here.

Yay for Friday! And yay, for my new business card! Bernadette (Elenteny Designs) dropped them off last night, and I’m SO in love with them :) I’m glad she suggested a square card and one focus color – it really makes the impression pop! Yes, I did make this photo a little larger than most posts…I had to show it off! Enjoy your weekend.

Phindy Studios – amazing photos of this wedding! Now, on to the bridesmaid attire here. Wow, I’m always looking to find refreshing bridesmaid dress ideas and honestly, they are hard to come by! The dress is always popular, but I love the pencil skirt, bright colored sash and shirt. So fun, flirty and classy! The 2009 bridesmaid dress trend is all about the cocktail, ‘night out’ style. Giving your bridesmaid’s the ability to rewear pieces even better! Check out the rest of the post by clicking the TBC link above.

Winter for most photographers = catching up on album designs :) It’s nice for newlyweds, families and pet owners to be able to refer back to their album choices (especially since first consultations could have happened a year or more ago). So from now on, I will be posting the variety of custom designed albums from me. Enjoy! (more…)

You could say I’m a little bias when it comes to photos versus video for your wedding (that is, if you have to chose between the two). But when I saw this post on {ritzy bee blog}, I melted – this is how your wedding video should be…
