holy mother take the harm of the years away from you.

August 2011 pt. 3

this is the second year we have attended the dublin irish festival and it was fabulous yet again. how can you not have an amazing time when you are surrounded by wonderful music, friends and of course, drinks!!

it was such a "good time" that i honestly forgot i had snapped photos with my power shot instead of my iphone.  i had been wondering wth happened to all the images we took haha.  i suppose the irish in me came out full force to celebrate a beautiful hot hot day in august!!

peace & love~

our big summer birthday bash!

august 2011/summer 2011 pt. 4

several years running now my sister and i have managed to cram all the summer birthdays into one big bash and this year was no different!  we celebrated about 10 friends & family members birthdays on july 30 in my brother-in-law & sisters very own backyard.  it was a blast.  living 2 hours from home i have really learned to cherish get-to-gethers like these.

August 2011 pt. 2

i really wanted to do a fun photo shoot with a hippie theme.  fortunately i work with the perfect feather-haired free-spirit named nicole <3

or now i'd like to call her mother earth!

i have always had a strange obsession with trees... that shows thru in this session ;)  i truly am a "tree hugger" i guess.

you can see the rest of the session here!

peace & love~
