Joy & Cheer

Christmas is the time of year... / For being with the one's we love. / Sharing so much joy and cheer. / What a wonderful feelin',

Watching the one's we love, / Having so much fun. -Ray Charles

♥ A little late to the game, I still haven’t mailed out my Christmas Cards as I’m waiting on a few more. However, I still have much to be thankful for and am abundantly blessed, so not having cards sent on time is no big thing! Here’s a peek into my family life for those of you interested. Merry (late) Christmas Everyone! And have a Happy New Year! ♥

On Earth Peace

“Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about. Lights please?

“And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them! And they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, ‘Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ, the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.’ And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God, and saying, “Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men.”

That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.” – Linus

Groom Style | Bare Root Flora | Featured on Magnolia Rouge

I partnered with the innovative and talented Robyn from Bare Root Flora to create this vision, and we focused our shoot on the groom alone. Robyn’s ability to design floral pieces that are wholly loved by both the bride and groom is the delicate balance that makes her a true talent. I wanted to photograph beautiful boutonniere options that not only work with a variety of color pallets, but that can also work well with other groomsmen in the wedding party. In addition, his floral accessories compliment the bride’s bouquet perfectly, bringing unity to the theme. The sole idea was to design effortless statement pieces uniting his own personal style with a specific wedding color palate & these floral pieces did just that. ♥

Special thanks to Magnolia Rouge for featuring this session of ours today.
