the crowton clan.

meet my cute cousins :)

i had fun with this rambunctious group.

aren't each and every one of them so good looking? seriously.

i was in awe as i edited these.

they all wanted a picture with the dog hehe

hope everyone has a wonderful night!

*sigh*

well friends, i took a week off of editing (for the most part) and i feel sooo much better and refreshed! i finished editing one photoshoot just now, and i have

a few more to go, then i'm much closer to "caught up"!

now, to start booking more shoots!

now, a few things catching my eye on etsy:

this dress

these earrings

this amazing collage piece

check out studiolyon (the artist for the above piece). her flickr page is addicting, as well as her etsy shop!

how was your weekend?

at first i wasn't sure . . .

when i first read about this movie on imdb, i wasn't sure if it sounded interesting enough for me to get excited about. but i just barely watched the trailer on youtube.com, and now i'm actually really excited about it! i looks sweet, funny, and really fun! i am a fan of drew barrymore, and i think ellen page is a very talented young actress. so, yes. i'm excited for this one :)

so in the mood . . .

to frost a tree in string lights and hanging jar lanterns and have a fancy homemade dinner.

i think i will do this soon.

i have been craving a romantically lit, outdoor dinner party for quite some time now.

have any of you ever done something like this and want to share your experience, tips, photos, etc? i would love to know how it turned out :)

coolest wedding entrance EVER!

my grandma just called me and told me to watch this, and i think it's amazing!

i would totally do something like this for my wedding.

thanks grandma!! :)

i've been interviewed!

today is an exciting day for me :) i was interviewed by diana from our.city.lights about my photography a few weeks ago and she posted the interview today! i'm a huge fan of her blog and her cause. she's always promoting the most wonderful photographers, doing interviews, features, etc. i feel unworthy to be one of her spotlights, but so honored at the same time.

i love her style and insight on things, and i adore her posts on "hot library smut" as she calls it (hehe), tattoo art, and her passion and adoration for books and vintage-glam. and most of all, her film photography is brilliant! she's definitely a blog to follow. you will constantly be inspired!

thanks diana! i'm beaming today :)

for those of you who live within a reasonable distance of a theater playing (500) Days of Summer, i'm very jealous of you. unfortunately, this movie wasn't released in utah yet. boo. i've been dying to see it, so let me know how wonderful it is!

**(if it was anything but wonderful, don't let me know. i would rather find out for myself :)**

i love zooey deschanel, but mostly, i'm in love with joseph gordon-levitt.

he was amazing in the movie brick. a MUST see, by the way. filled with mysterious-high school-noir-detective-ness.

i think these two would make an adorable couple. they'd be so quirky and sarcastic. and awesome.
