On Sunday, July 12, Bryan and I found out that we are going to be parents! After a few moments of sheer panic, the excitement and joy kicked in. Mommy and Daddy. It's one thing to have our little furbaby, Rooney – but a REAL human baby!? Oh boy, we are in for the time of our lives!

Playing Photographer: Vintage Spring Bridal Shower
Capturing events through photography and videography has always been something that I have had love for. I can attribute that to my dad, who's passion for capturing all of our life moments growing up introduced me to the camera and video camera in the first place. It wasn't until I attended design school and started my first job that I was able to appreciate the true art of photography and learn to take the time to capture an image that I was proud of. I still have a long way to go in the photography world, but love to use family events and gatherings to practice enhancing my technique.

The Easter Bunny decided to visit Bryan. Bryan has always been very into golf, but this year especially he has been obsessive about it! The creative wheels in my head started turning and here is what it came up with.

Don’t get me wrong, owning a house is rewarding and having your own space is priceless…but the little things along the way make me wish that I could just phone up a landlord and have them fix things for me, for free (lucky for me, I do have my dad for that)!
Sunday Birthday Brunch
If there is one guilty pleasure that I have and obsess over, it is place-setting and small scale entertaining/planning. Kitchen Decor stores are tortuous for me because in my dream world I would have a different pattern/color dish set for each and every time I entertained. Lucky for Bryan and I's wallet, I have settled on two [...]
Good Morning, Sunshine!
