birds of a feather get together

hi all!  things will be quiet around here today as i'm spending the day with the birds of a feather girls for our monthly flock session. i'll be sharing the table, food and fun details i put together soon!  here's a sneak peek of some feathers i spray painted gold.  stay tuned to see where they land, or follow along on my instagram for more sneak peeks!  

keeping the wedding ball rolling for just one more day...

since it's kind of a wedding bonanza week around here, i figured i'd just keep the theme going. i promise, we'll be back to regularly scheduled programming soon.  dogs, style, food and decor are on the horizon! (bean is secretly relieved that she hasn't been dressed, posed or styled into some ridiculous photo in a good solid week. ha!)

as for that stunning photo- we just added a new, amazing photographer to our flock at birds of a feather! head over here to see her most recent work which makes me want to drag lou out to a field at sunset to be photographed by her. this series is so romantic and i'm obsessed with sarah's hair!  

lastly, i just wanted to say a big, huge, public thank you to all of you for the overwhelmingly sweet comments and emails you've sent.  i'm pretty positive that you are the best blog readers in the whole wide world, and i'm so thankful for your visits to this here corner of the interweb.  lots of love to all of you!  *photo by jen lauren grant

i'm editing a wedding i shot in october and this bride's facinator is killing me! my friends over at ban.do make some pretty killer pieces,if you're looking to fancy up your bridal head with a little somethin somethin. {also lots of great holiday gifts!)

birds of a feather patterns!

here are some of the patterns super-designer aileen cheng came up with recently when working on our birds of a feather branding. i think they're so great (i may be biased) and will be incredible worked into our packaging for things like cd's/cases, stationary, business cards, etc (they're already in use here). i'm officially pattern obsessed.

mouth watering, tempting yummy warm buns

Is there anything better?  Burger Lounge.  Yum.  We recommend the fresh vegetable salad/onion rings. And of course you can never go wrong with one of their epic burgers.
