poppies

after a short hiatus from our studio, i ventured down to the flower market this morning and picked up some gorgeous winter blooms for an event tomorrow. today reminded me why we included poppies in our company name to begin with. they are some of the prettiest flowers out there and i especially adore their tissue paper-esque petals. i must also give a shout out to the ranunculus, which were as big as garden roses and the most beautiful blush color i ever did see. mother nature you never cease to amaze me and i don't think i'll ever be able to stop the giddiness that i feel at first sight. it seriously took over most of my morning, but somehow i eventually managed to stop gaucking at the flowers and posting photos of them to instagram for long enough for a special guest to stop by our studio. it took me a minute to get over her striking resemblance to natalie portman in garden state, but once i did we had a great chat about her working with our team this upcoming year and she stayed long enough to make a very pretty arrangement herself. she rocked it out and did a great job!

i'm off to snuggle up to emails, proposal writing, and a call with a texan bride to boot.

our plants

in the middle of wedding madness last october my boyfriend, our dog, and i moved to a brand new spankin apartment. at the time we were sour about the move, because we were being forced out due to flooding at our old house. once it was all said and done it turned out to be a blessing in disguise and it didn't take long for us to realize that. my favorite part about our new home are the huge windows and amount of direct sunlight we receive daily.

since thursday is our mandated water the plants day, i thought i'd share a few snaps from our dining room. this is the first time since i moved to nyc in 2002 i've been able to keep my plants happy and alive thanks to a lack of sunlight in most city apartments. some are even sprouting new growth, which makes me overly giddy on a daily basis.

it's the little things in life and i try to remember that!

i can't wait to share more of our humble abode here in brooklyn as we piece it together little by little.

butter + love

a few weeks ago we received an email from allison who is a super sweet chica who had helped us out in the past. she was announcing that she had launched a bakery here in nyc and was hoping we'd want to try some of her goodies. she sent some samples along for us to try and we were blown away! our favorites were marionberry rosemary sea salt sandwich cookies and her salted honey lavender shortbread. the shortbread was seriously like crack and i'd love to order more but i fear i would becoming addicted because it tastes so good. butter + love

jen huang workshops

we're coming back to cali and couldn't be more excited! jen huang photography's workshop is hitting the LA area in april and we'd all love to see you there. the last workshop we were a part of this past november brought in some amazing photographers, so we thought we'd share a few photos that we thought were just perfect by megan christine. come join us in april for more styled shoots and amazing guest speakers!

beach vacay essentials

nyc has been a whopping 20 degrees on average lately, leaving me cuddled up on the couch. somehow among the frigid temps and layers of clothing i can still imagine a warm sunny beach and day dream about our upcoming costa rican trip. i think it may actually be making me feel warmer.

i've come up with some essentials to a successful sunbathing adventure and thought i'd share them with you . sunnies are a must, vibrant string bikini, tribal print towel, bright nail polish, and a one piece for night time swimming. ok maybe the last one is a bit overboard, but i can't pass up the chartreuse.

Liz & Dave

Liz & David's super 8 film highlights: The Foundry, NYC from Hello Super 8 on Vimeo.

This past season we were so lucky to work with Liz & Dave on their wedding at the Foundry. Our friend, Tammy Golson, was their planner and shared this fabulous video of their big day with us. The work of Megan Hill, of Hello Super 8 film, this wedding video was filmed on vintage cameras which I think makes it all the more unique and romantic. Congratulations Liz & Dave!
