{ The Flower Wheel }

So I have this friend. Actually she’s one of my very best friends.

We are like insane balls of energy and ideas when we are together.

We have done countless Inspiration and magazine shoots together.

She’s my kindred spirit.

She’s also brilliant.

Karin has created one of the best help guides for brides and their vendors called The Flower Wheel

How it works: You purchase/download the app for your iPhone or iPad

Click on a color/ or month

And it will pull a whole library of colors in that flower

When you click on the flower it will tell you important info on the flower, like what month it is in season

and a detailed description on that flower

You can also save the flowers to a folder… Making it ridiculously easy in planning and picking flowers for your wedding day

I know when I was getting married I knew of … roses. and hydrangea. and that’s about it.

I seriously wish this was around when i was getting married.

So when Karin asked me to be a part of her project and shoot the cover images… I said yes ( of course )

So here are a few screen shots and a few of my images

SO seriously everyone needs this app

it’s brilliant and amazing and wonderful and helpful

and you need it

{ The details }

Weddings can be very complex.

As a wedding photographer we have quite a few things to do during the wedding day.

Getting ready shots, Portraits, Family photos, Ceremony, Photos of the couple together… Reception and many many more

Sometimes it’s the smallest detail that can be pushed aside or forgotten.

In my work I specialize in Portraits and details. So when couples book me that is the look they are going for. Of course we get evrything else…

But one of my favorite parts about the weddding day is all the tiny details that go into making their day.

The shoes, the rings, attire, florals.. the list goes on and on.

I do have an assistant with me at all of my weddings but I shoot my own details. GASP!!! I know crazy right.

How do I do it?

Well I practice.

A LOT

I’ve been asked to speak at the next Memphis SMUG MUG meeting to explain a little bit about the method to my madness

So photographers of all kinds are welcome. A lot of my techniques carry over into other areas.

So buying gifts for my mom is almost impossible.

She is an artist ( a very good one ) and pretty particular. ( she says she’s not… but she is. love you mom )

For as long as I can remember my mom has always smelled like Amber or Vanilla, very natural and earthy.

It is a very comforting smell to me now.

So for Christmas I wanted to get her something a little different. I knew just where to go. Etsy of course.

I found this amazing company out of Roma, Italy that makes handmade natural soaps and perfumes.

Bingo!!! perfect for my mother who from Italy ( supporting her country lol ) and is seriously allergic to everything, especially soaps and perfumes.

This amazing little package arrived at my doorstep the other day.

Perfectly wrapped and smelling so much like my mother.

I just had to peek and take a photo.

Gorgeous right? and so perfect for my mom

Hop on over to her Etsy shop… she has so many great products. and even products for you fabulous brides
