cake and champagne

go perfect together just like susan and ryan. my good friend, susan, is getting married next saturday and a bunch of us went over to her apartment wednesday evening for one last night of pre wedding girl talk and bubbly. nights like these are so precious to me. i hope we always have these get togethers to catch up, eat some good food and toast to friends.

let the sugar skulls dance

this past weekend my friend threw a joint birthday party for me and two other scorpios. it was a day of the dead themed birthday party filled with sugar skulls, home made margaritas, catered tacos, mexican chocolate cupcakes, great music, and a pinata!! the night was perfect and beautiful.











thank you to my sweet friend, doub!

wrap party

so we ended the december catalog shoot with a traditional greek toga party. i think getting ready was actually more fun than the actual party.


we were lucky enough to have the make up artist, deana hagen, and hair stylist, patrice delaroche, help get us all dolled up!









it was the perfect way to end free people's december catalog shoot!

garden soiree

these are photos from my friend, chau's, garden birthday party. the best part... it was held in the middle of northern liberties. the sweet cocktails, yummy food, good music, great people and fresh scent of lavendar made for a perfect night.

dugan's 8th birthday party and skinny dip video!

my sweetest baby turned 8 today! it seemes like yesterday when we picked him up from his colorado breeder and took him home. he has been such a joy in my life and he taught me the beauty of a dog's unconditional love. i don't mean to get sappy, but i love him so much.

the day started with birthday treats and ended at tyler state park for a long swim!

he was too tired on the car ride home to stick his head out the window... Zzzzz!

i love this video... he's so happy to be swimming! happy 8th birthday, dugan! <3

summer nuptials
