CHRISTMAS TREE CUPCAKES.

I know what some of you were thinking. Regular cupcakes simply don't have enough "cake" in their cup to satisfy you. But to that I ask this : have you had one of THESE?! From the outside, it looks like just another fancy Martha Stewart holiday dessert...but on the inside my friends...oh on the inside...

Underneath all of that pretty decorative icing, is a regular cupcake glued (via more icing) to a sugary waffle cone filled with bonus cupcake! Here you will find your link to this decadent recipe.

SUBLIMINAL GIFT MENTIONS.

I think a great gift under $50 for your favourite photographer friend/sister/fiance/daughter/aunt is this charming little Holga she's been eyeing. Urban Outfitters carries a variety of styles, but I'm pretty sure this would be her favourite.

GEAR WORTHY OF BUNDLING UP.

I'm diggin' these mittens and this hat from Kate Spade...

Since I have a gabillion nieces and nephews I always make sure to browse the kids section of a store. I found these sweet hats at GAP on sale!

COFFEE AND DESSERT IN ONE CUP = YES MA'AM!

As a girl who never passes on dessert, I had to share this tempting concoction known as affogato. Thats one part espresso, one part gelato, equal parts awesome. I dare you not to try this one over Christmas. Find the exact recipe at Martha Stewart dot com.

BLOGGING WITHOUT LIMITS.

Fashion, Photography, Art, Design, Food, Funny, Life... Oh my! So for a while now I've felt a little constraint over on my professional blog about what is appropriate to share and what isn't. I mean I don't want to confuse my readers and clients... I am absolutely, 100 billion % passionate about and dedicated to documenting incredible love stories. However, I am a silly girl. Sometimes. I have many moods and hats that I wear on a daily basis that it's hard to "categorize" all that I love and think about under the heading of : Professional Wedding Photographer. I'm professional when I need to be. But there are so many other sides of me that are well, down right, plain old, girly, emotional and on occasion silly.

I admire art.

I create.

I follow fashion.

I laugh. a lot.

I dream.

I support.

I debate.

I live.

This will be a place for all of that. Lovely real wedding stories here, daily variety lovin's here. It's great! Welcome aboard soldiers.

Oh Sartorialist. How I love thee and thee's keen eye for street fashion.
