Friday Favorites, vol. 56

1. jellyfish







2. slats wallter wall art
Wallter makes a number of very cool three-dimensional shapes that you can paint and glue to your walls. Before we were allowed to paint or glue things to our walls, we made a fantastic art piece using their circles on a huge canvas in our living room. Right now my very favorite is their piece called "slats." I think it's super '50s, and it reminds of an impressionist sculpture of blades of grass. This is on the definite list for our new home decor!







3. hand mirrors







4. classic Nancy Drew mysteries







5. lemon bars







BONUS: To this date, I've never tasted a yummier lemon bar than the ones served at my lovely friend Kathryn's wedding on her family farm in Iowa, last spring.

it's all happening: the texas style council

About a week ago, I blogged about how our little photography bizness is now a platinum sponsor of the 2011 Texas Style Council Conference, coming up here in Austin during SXSW! I figured I wouldn't have to tell you guys about it, since you all already know all about it. Then I thought, wait just a second.... What if there's still some fabulous blogger out there who hasn't yet heard about it? Well, this one's for you.

Go right this minute and find out about the first ever Texas Style Council Conference and how you can be a part of the fabulosity!

P.S. ooh, and stop by our photobooth during the dance party Saturday night and say hello!

Friday Favorites, vol. 41

Instead of listing my favorite things (like I normally do), I decided to celebrate the launch of our new really, really ridiculously good-looking website by posting a few of my favorite photos that Nathan and I have taken. See them all bigger and prettier (along with lots more!) here.












Stop by our new website and let me know what you think!

Kathryn's 30 for 30

One of my great friends, Kathryn, has a fantastic blog. While she mainly blogs about food, she decided to join in with hundreds of other stylish bloggers to take our amazing friend Kendi's 30 for 30 wardrobe challenge. When she mentioned that she would be taking the challenge, I offered to start taking her daily photos. We've had so much fun over the last month or so finding little spots here and there to shoot, chatting, documenting her outfits along the way. For me, I got some of the most valuable camera practice I could hope for, just learning what to do with my settings in different light/different situations--since I shoot in manual. I really considered it a project that we were both taking on, even though I wasn't participating in the 30 for 30 per se.
You can see Kathryn's 30 for 30 on her blog here and her first recap here. I wanted to feature some of my favorite shots from this project as well.
