Yes, that's a mini pineapple in there!
Those are real roses.

Floral Dreams-Bridal Show
Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend the Portland Bridal Show as part of my on-going photography work with Floral Dreams. Floral Dreams had a booth at the event showcasing many amazing floral arrangements. Several of Floral Dreams' arrangements were featured during the bridal fashion show. I photographed both the fashion show and each arrangement (mostly bouquets). Here are a few from the fashion show and of my favorite bouquets.

The Year of Awesome
New year, new post. Okay, I know that we are five days into 2011, but considering that we still have 360 days left in the year I think the word new still applies.
I haven't posted in a few weeks, mostly because I haven't had any photo shoots or jobs. I spent the last few weeks working on a few print orders. I also spent the rest of the time with my family just hanging out at home enjoying a little down time. Even though just hanging out at home may seem a little boring to some, I was more than happy to get a little break. (My days are usually divided between my part time job, working on this small business or shuttling my kids around to various activities).
Having some down time gave me the opportunity to reflect on 2010 and to dream about 2011. I had a pretty great year in 2010. In 2010, my husband and I paid off our student loans and successfully lobbied for and got an IEP for my daughter's dysgraphia and dyslexia. I saw my little sister get married to an old friend of mine, and my husband and I finally went on our dream vacation to Paris, France and Italy. I also stepped outside of my comfort zone and started this blog and a SmugMug page to "put myself out there" and show off some of my photography work. Although there are probably quite a few more wonderful things that happened in 2010, the above mentioned are definitely the highlights.
I hope that 2011 will allow me to continue to grow my small business and meet new people. I have high hopes for the year. I have actually dubbed it "The Year of Awesome" at home because I truly hope to have a great year both personally and professionally. I hope everyone reading this has an awesome year as well. Happy New Year!
