    And I must say, the 30’s feel like the best years, so it’s another new beginning for you 🙂ReplyCancel

Early Christmas

This year’s Christmas was like no other; it was full of emotions and many happy moments! The week of Christmas I wasn’t sure if Mister would be home for Christmas, as he got stuck at the Heathrow Airport due to crazy weather conditions. But he surprised me with an early morning text the day after…

    Oh you lucky girl!! I’m so happy for you and a bit envious too! well maybe more then a bit 🙂
    I LOVE Europe so much.. and being born in Croatia & living there until almost 9, that whole culture is in my blood. I would take any opportunity to go there if I could. You will have the time of your life – congratulations to both of you. What an amazing opportunity! You must go down to CRO sometime – to the coast.. Split area. You will love it.. and the best part? you can drive to wherever you want! lucky lucky girl!

How wonderful you are

I’ve been asked quite a bit recently why I don’t photograph weddings, and at first I didn’t know how to respond, but now with no hesitation I know why. I don’t want to shoot them. I used to feel really awkward saying that, almost like I wasn’t an actual photographer because I chose portraiture over…

Today I met up with an amazing and inspiring woman, Morgaine Owens. I have been following her blog for awhile, but we recently connected on Twitter and we met up so that I could show her samples of Wall Blanksprints (if you’re looking for beautiful printing options, check these people out!!). What at first was…
