Hello Hello :) Things have been busy in Nashville with birthdays, moving, new construction, unpacking …. the list continues. Despite all of our crazy schedules, I wanted to share one of the simplest DIY projects I have done that will accommodate any hectic schedule. I recently threw my husband a surprise dinner party with our closest friends and family. I created this simple and effective seating chart that served as decoration, place cards, and party favors. Three birds with one stone :) Love it and hope you do as well Xx I love the girls at Style ME Pretty Living, please check them out for more details on how I created these succulent treats HERE and other fabulous DIY projects.

Cake Smash Soiree Featured on Grey Likes Baby
It doesn't get any sweeter than the perfect cake topper from Potter & Butler and a darling one year old little boy filled with sugar, smiles, & laughter. I adored every moment I had with this sweet family and fell in love with their son. Happy Birthday and many more to come to this darling baby boy who stole my heart in the windy city and much love to his family. To find out more details about the session, please check my favorite resource for little ones, Grey Likes Baby. Xx

market monday | coffee dates
There is something to be said about a cozy corner, a great book, and a warm cup of coffee shared between two. I consider myself lucky to be neighboring Floriole in Lincoln Park, one of my favorite local spots where the coffee is endless and the croissants melt in your mouth. For those who know me well, coffee dates with girlfriends (DabbleMeThis one of my favorite fellow photogs) or with my love is time well spent :) Enjoy one of my favorite Chicago spots with my coffee date must haves.
