Pretty vintage things....

Last weekend before the "epic" snow/ice storm came, my husband and I had to take a little drive.  I decided to take my camera with me (I usually keep it in my purse anyways...you know...just in case) but on this particular day I was VERY glad I had it with me.  I kind of have an obsession (serious problem) for pretty vintage things, and I found several pretty vintage things that day.  Enjoy!




LOVE...love love love.... 
One day I will own a victorian home in Savannah, it will probably be haunted but I don't care. :)

GORGEOUS iron railing...I wanted to take it home.  :)


Then we stopped off at my FAVORITE antique shop Keil's

I had gone there the day before and had to go back to bring home some lovely dishes (will share those later) but I fell in love with this bike.  I wish I knew how to restore bikes....this one is super cute!  And only $30...


They have a lot of vintage clothing and gorgeous displays.... 



This dress made me wish I was a size 0 (not possible)..... It's SOOOOO pretty!  Uh...
Again, love their displays...

Up close and personal... ;)

Pretty pretty....

I would love to own an antique shop....but I would never sell anything....I would take it all home... :)

Have a fabulous weekend!

♥ February Special! ♥

Hi there and hello!  I just wanted to let everyone know that I am running a special for the month of February!  I would love to shout it from the roof tops and throw chocolate kisses and pretty little streamers....but I won't.  :)  So if you are getting married this is for you!  And if you know of someone who is getting married make sure to pass on the the news!  Please? :) 


Have a fabulous day!

And for those who are still digging out from the ice and snow.....it's halfway to Spring! :)

"EPIC" Snow/Ice Storm....

If you've been watching the news then you have probably heard about the "epic" snow storm that is hitting the Midwest etc.  Ice, blizzard conditions, and thunder snow....exciting stuff.  I woke up this morning and at first I was kind of disappointed.....where is the epic storm????  But then I looked closer and realized that my patio was a sheet of ice and all of the trees were dripping in ice....awesome.  So I ventured out and took some pics to capture this "epic" storm.  Enjoy!
















Bring on the thunder snow... :)

Hope everyone stays safe and warm!

St. Louis Family Photographer - Markus Family

Last year (again I like saying that) I met up with the Markus family to do a family session.  They are such an adorable family.  AND we shot their session on a farm.  Squeeeeee!  Love farms.  Pigs, roosters, and peacocks running around....loved it.  Gage is such a little comedian and taught me some jokes, which I now use during my sessions....and they work everytime.  Thanks Gage! :)  Here are a few from their family session.  Enjoy!
This is Wilbur....cutest name for a pig don't you think?

And this is Gage :)

Such a handsome little guy...



AND he's hilarious....
"Why did the chicken cross the road?  Because he wanted to die!"
LOL...that was awesome...








Roosters just chillin...

"Why did the cow cross the road?"  Wait for it.....
"Because he wanted to die!".....LOL...still hilarious...


CUUUUUTE!


SOOOOO cute! :)

Thanks so much Markus family for one awesome family session!

Have a fabulous weekend! :)

Easily distracted....

So today I am supposed to be cleaning my house.  I was supposed to do it yesterday but hello...there were 2 football games on AND it was snowing outside.  Too many distractions...  So today was my "have to clean my house this is ridiculous" day.  I started to clean....but then I got distracted.  It happens quite often, which is how my bedroom furniture got painted black, my bedroom got painted purple, and my front door got painted white.  I like to paint things.  I was VERY tempted to paint my kitchen cabinets today...but I'm pretty sure I need to sand them first and that takes too long.  So instead I grabbed my camera.  Who gets distracted by pretty purses hanging on the wall???  I do.  Who gets distracted by pretty lamp shades decorated in pearls and clip on flowers???  I do.  Enjoy. :)













I'm SERIOUSLY going to go clean my house now.  I mean it.... :)
Have a fabulous week!
