I received this Argus last year as a gift....one of my favorites in my {small} collection. The look reminds me of something that Ernest Hemingway would have on his desk, very cool!

A few post ago I mentioned that my friend  Melany Hallgren  and I were going to try to attempt to create the flowers that Ruche used in there spring look book. Well after three days of recreating our version we finally made around 12 flowers of all sizes and were very geeked to use them. I enlisted the help of my friend Jeannie Jachman's two adorable Children Scarlett and Julian. Our version of these flowers look a little Dr. Seussish! We had a blast creating them. Thank you Design Sponge  and Ruche for the awesome diy!
( oh, and thank you Scarlett and Julian for being my big helpers!)

  I love when photographing people takes you to an unexpected place and creates a pleasant surprise. Last year I was vending at the I art festival in Redford Mi. I had advertised a special photography session for that weekend. Jeannie Jachman  (above) and her family came up to my booth, asked a few questions and took my card. They viewed my site and the next day came back to my booth and purchased a shoot from me. a few weeks later I photographed Jeannie and her beautiful family in their amazing back yard. I really liked Jeannie right from the start  and could tell she was a great person. Before I drove away from that shoot she called a friend to have her friends family pictures taken by me. I not only received  many referrals from her but she also asked me to take part in a collaborative photo shoot....Jeanie is amazing when it comes to hair and makeup, I call her a hair genius! After a few fashion shoots we created together I knew we would be good friends. 

             ~So this photo is Jeannie at the park...I shot this a few days ago along with two other people I adore  ( and will be posting their photos) Jeannie's two children Scarlett and Julian. I have a handful of photos that I have taken of Jeannie but I really like this one and I will tell you why. She is down to earth, compassionate and just plain fun...and this photo shows that. She is that person who will sit on the ground and play with her kids, hop on a swing, pretend she is a flower or plan an amazing tea/birthday party.  She is sincere, honest and loyal. I have witnessed all these wonderful things from her just through the little time that I have gotten to know her. I feel like we have been friends for years. I love being around her and admire her in many way's! My favorite thing about Jeannie is we have a lot in common!!! So thank you to the photography gods and good karma. The best thing about walking away from an awesome shoot is making a new friends... I'm super geeked to have Jeannie my "new friend" in my life!

I love, love pastel photography!  That dreamy, out of focus, soft, surreal look to them. My last Fashion shoot we did a fun last minute shoot with this star dress and some balloons. It was so cold outside and this looks like it was shot on a summer day.

If you are a fan of Ruche then you have already seen the spring look book. If not look here: Ruche~Spring~Lookbook  (You will love it!)This beautiful Diy  directions are found on Design Sponge
I'm trying to talk my photographer friend Melany from Melany Hallgren Photography to do this with me....it would be a great to do with a friend. We would probably need a couple pots of coffee to get through the day, but I am in love with the flowers and think it would be super fun!.

My son and I started reading the Hunger Games  this past month and we are now on the second book. We are anticipating the movie....but found this  beautiful video and just fell in love with the song.  Not only am I a fan of the Civil Wars but I have become a fan of Taylor Swift ...she is such a cutie and this is an awesome video!
(gives me goose bumps!)
