sweetness times two!







i was so excited to have a newborn shoot scheduled for today...for twins! jaxon & jagger were too sweet & cooperated perfectly for little guys who are less than 2 weeks old. i got so many great shots, but i especially love this last one of the boys with their daddy.

first pinterest project complete!

like so many other people i know right now, i am ALL into pinterest. there are so many great ideas & creative things on there...it's hard not to be inspired! my first attempt at getting crafty turned out much better than i expected.

i wanted to try these because i thought it could be something i could offer my clients if i could get good at it. they are photo coasters! and they really did turn out pretty cool. my mother-in-law helped me with them since she had worked with resin before. after some trial & error (& using WAY too much product when we first started), i think we actually got it down.

i don't agree with how cheap the original pinner claimed it was to make these, but i have no doubt since i've only made them once, i will be able to fine tune it in time.

i am pretty excited to have something fun & different to offer my clients :-)

here is a photo of my first attempt. i did not take these photos of vivian. these are from her one year session in december with michael stepp. he is located in east louisville and has a fantastic studio set up in his basement that i'm totally jealous of. i'm going to make round 2 next week with some of my previous work so i can sharpen my coaster making skills even more!
