a touch of lovely

Sometimes all we need it is touch of something lovely in our lives. When I am having a “day” or better yet a few “days” there is one thing I adorn my house with that makes me happy instantly, fresh flowers. If on one of those “days”I have to leave the house there is always one thing that makes me feel like a lovely lady (this is Danielle writing obviously) that is a dab of lip gloss. My hair may be a total wreck, my outfit look of complete dysfunction, but just the right dab of lipgloss will makes me feel like a million bucks. Lately I am loving the L’OREAL Colour Riche Le Gloss in Watermelon Crush. This image was from a recent engagement session we did in Downtown LA. It just screams summer romance to me and when I see this sweet image it makes me want to ad a touch of lovely to my day for myself and for my man. What are some things that help turn your worst day around into something lovely?

our new home | impossible project film

 

We moved last week into our new home!  We are just so excited we could burst.  It’s been a long awaited transition that we have been longing for for quite some time!  It felt like it all happened in an instant and yet we will probably be sorting through boxes, and placing our belongings in their proper places over the course of the next several months.  I was so inspired by how our dear friends Erin & Courtney chose to document their precious weeks with their newest little one Avi.  Though this home is not a giggling and crying little lump of love it is a welcomed gift in our life that is deserving of some artful documentation.  So here it is, the first few frames of our lovely abode and it’s surrounding gardens.  Welcome!Impossible Project with SX70

loren + rachel | los angeles arboretum wedding


 

 

Loren and Rachel are such a beautiful couple inside and out! It was a joy and privilege to be a part of their amazing wedding held at the LA Arboretum in Arcadia, CA and celebrate with them at their sweet backyard reception. There was so much beauty and emotion that filled the day. I really don’t feel like I can say enough good things about this day, this couple, and how dear they are to us so… I will simply let the film and photos speak for me. Loren and Rachel, we love you guys. Special Thanks to Jess Koehler for being our scond photo shooter and Keith Paugh for being our second 16mm shooter.
