Cutie Patootie

I'm currently working on images from a recent family photo shoot. I couldn't resist posting these... How cute is this little man?!?!

Things We Know to Be True

There are some things Karon and I both know to be true. Neither of us are morning people. Our heads are constantly cluttered with inspiration and ideas that can't possibly be put to task in this lifetime! We are not coffee drinkers, but we both love our sugar. That is most assuredly where the similarities end. Karon is chocolate FREAK. I prefer caramel. She is completely at ease in heels as high as she can find them. Me? I would break something if I tried wearing some of those heels of hers. I spend most of the summer in flip flops and Karon cringes at the site. I have three cats, Karon is allergic. She is a music buff, and yeah, umm, I am not. She says I am more of a people person than she, but I know her heart and she doesn't give herself enough credit.

It seems like forever that Karon and I have known each other and have been taking pictures together. And we didn't even know each other in college. (Nor did we go to the same school.) Each of us chose to become professional photographers at different stages in life. Ultimately, those choices caused our paths to cross. It was that moment when when Red Shoe Gallery was born. It would take a few more years for it to actually come to life.

Between us, we believe there is rarely a moment that is not worth photographing. Every moment tells it's part in a story. We aim to capture the true candid character of everyone we photograph. Our style is typically photojournalistic and documentary. Our goal is simple: to spark a sense of nostalgia that quietly touches the lives of others when they glance at the photographs we have taken.

Love this!

Boutonnieres for the groom and groomsmen are one of the smallest details in a wedding, and also one of the easiest to DIY.  Because you only need enough to cover the bridal party and any male family members, it shouldn’t be too time consuming.  My favorite DIY idea so far are these starfish boutonnieres, courtesy of Style Me Pretty.

 

They best part is, they’re simple, cheap and unique.  You can purchase starfish in bulk from places like Hobby Lobby or Michael's Crafts.  You can also buy bar pins and a hot glue gun from any craft store.  The process is pretty self-explanatory–glue the bar pins to the backs of the starfish, and there you have it! Here’s a shot of the final product, as found on Bloom's Design Studio. ... So Cute!
