Happy Friday! I’ve been invited to be a guest contributor at Oh My! Handmade Goodness!, which is a community for independent children’s retailers and the hip parents who support them! Call me resident photographer! I’ll be writing (hopefully once a month) about all sorts of photo tips. Check out my first post here. (and don’t forget to read the last paragraph, could be your lucky day).

Yup, I’ll be the one working it in front of Sarah’s (Modern Kids) camera tomorrow! Always good to have updated bio photos of yourself for a website and any other inquiries that may come up…and these are long over due! Still making these pom-poms for the shoot – that’s all the sneak you get!

Wow, I hate to be lame, but I can’t say much about why I took these photos! Let’s just say there’s a ’secret project’ and a ‘pinky swear project’, both are different and oh-so fun! I guess I can say that I did a mini photo shoot yesterday of a spring-clean rustic on a budget theme centerpiece for your wedding table, but I can’t say what for :) (maybe I’ll be able to show the images for inspiration anyway, will keep you posted) Hopefully it will be good news later! What are you up to this weekend? We have family in town so I’m off to start my fun!

Can you believe how many recognized holidays/events are happening this weekend?! Lunar Chinese New Year, President’s Day, Mardi Gras festivities, etc. But the big’ole day of love is also playing a part this weekend. I plan on spending it with my main squeeze relaxing with the kitties. Spreading the gushy lovey doveys all around (doveys looks better than dovies). Don’t forget to tell the ones you love just how much you love them! XOXOXOXO!

I’m doing dandy! Things have been a little hectic since my return home…inquiries, email catch-up, lots of new events and ideas on the rise…my brain won’t shut off! Yesterday, I had the pleasure photographing an elopement in St. Helena! The sun was shining, the mustard colored wildflowers were in plenty! Who said wine country wasn’t pretty in winter? I had to stop and snap the shutter for evidence :) This week will still be a bit busy but should be slowing down soon. Btw, if you had a picture taken with Smitten Sticks at Indie Wed or for an event/wedding recently, I’d love for your to upload it here! Or email us at smittensticks@gmail.com

As mentioned in yesterday, things were a little crazy busy at Indie Wed so I failed to meet all the vendors and take their photo, bummer! But I managed to snap a few favorites close by. Be sure to check out yesterday’s post to check out more of my favorite wedding vendors! Above: the cutest cake toppers in the whole wide world by The Small Object! She had to CUTEST marketing materials! (more…)

Whew!!! Where am I, who am I and what time is it?!?! Flew back home to San Francisco yesterday and it’s been nonstop catch up today. I’ve barely showered! What a BLAST this past weekend was, and I can’t express enough how adorable all the Indie Wed vendors where! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see everyone’s booth or meet them for that matter….guess that’s what happens when you have over 1000 people walk through. Anyone else feel like a chicken with their head cut off? Wish I could have taken more photos of the whole event, but I didn’t even use the restroom that day…you get my point :) Btw, feel free to link your photos in the comments! (more…)
