A Bath for the Birds

My mom got a fountain last summer and it took us forever to find a place where it looked right in the backyard. It is finally set up and we realized as an added bonus, the birds love it! These little guys come hang out all the time, aren't they sweet splashing around?

I am also excited to tell you all I am over at Cardigan Junkie today, posting for her What Every Girl Should Have series. My post is dedicated to my utter devotion to ballet flats and features some flats at the very top of my wish list. Come check it out!

Homecoming

I went to school with this talented photographer, Stephanie Foehl, at San Diego State. She actually started her company after we graduated but mostly I liked her in my marketing class groups because she told funny stories about her cats and how she met her Marine husband. 

I am a fan of her company, Fox Hollow Photography, on Facebook and when she posts pictures of homecoming photo shoots she has shot I am always that weird girl sitting in the library/Starbucks/work crying because they are so gorgeous and heartbreaking. I wanted to feature some of the photos here to show everyone a few of these family's beautiful reunions and what an fantastic photographer Stephanie is. (After you are amazed by her photography skills here, check out her website or facebook for the rest of her work!)

I know this is a lot of pictures for one post but I just couldn't choose just a few photos to feature, they all capture so such emotion and love. I wish I had more elegant or insightful things to say about how amazing the men and women in these families are but I think these pictures speak for themselves.

Some of the most touching of these photos are the ones of soldiers coming home to their children. The picture below shows the first time this father is meeting his son.

Photo Finds

How gorgeous are these photos by Chelsea Victoria? Wouldn't they be amazing hung in a bright, sunny bedroom? The best part: she is having a sale right now, buy one get one free!

Mitchell and I had a fabulous weekend in San Fransisco, almost no rain! We spend most of the day loitering around the ferry building eating seafood and drinking champagne and had dinner at a great Italian restaurant somewhere in the financial district I can't remember. Does did anyone else have any fun weekend plans?

Things I Love: Instant Cameras

One of my favorite Christmas gifts I got this year was a Fujifilm Instax Mini Camera from Mitchell. It is the cutest little camera and it takes mini pictures that print instantly, like a tiny Polaroid. It is such a fun toy to bring to parties or people's houses and laugh at the funny pictures that come out. The pictures are also a great because they are so little (like the size of a credit card) they can go anywhere. I have them up all over my apartment and they make me so happy! 


Here are some of my favorite photos!

It is the perfect way to take pictures of random things you just can't wait to get printed out! The only downside is the film is a little expensive (I buy big quantities on ebay) but this is totally made up for by the fact that it has a self portrait mirror on the front so you can see yourself as you take a picture!

I have actually never met anyone else with this camera and everyone I show is totally amazed it even exists, does anyone else have a little instant camera like this or ever played with one?
