I'm learning that when we find we like something, we really go all out. This could be anything: real life examples... Sprinkles Cupcakes (where we order a dozen online and drive literally 1 hour to pick them up), down pillows (if 1 per person is good, imagine how good 3 per person would be), and Bath and Body Works products (if I like the smell of Cashmere Glow lotion, I should probably get the 3 for 1 deal and go ahead and get body wash and hand cream.)

I've been noticing lately that we are just 100% obsessed with anything and everything lavender scented. It all started when we read somewhere that lavender is supposed to be a calming scent. From that point on, we slowly started replacing empty/worn out cleaners, household products, candles, you name it - with lavender scents.

So much so... this is where we are at now.

Here's what makes up our current lavender scented bounty, from left to right.

Laundry Scent Additive, Swiffer Dust Spray, Shave Gel, Clorox Wipes, Swiffer Duster Cloths, a Circle E Candle, Yankee Candle Scented Oil, Fabric Softener Sheets, Bath and Body Works hand soap, Gain Dishwashing Soap, and finally, the best all purpose cleaner in the world: Fabuloso.

After taking this picture, we also remembered we have a huge supply of bulk lavender buds (most of our brides will know this because we send them some!) from Pressed Cotton.

Feeling very calm with all my lavender scented stuff around,

Another one of our excellent 2012 couples just celebrated their first wedding anniversary this past weekend! Congratulations Brittany and Blair!

I had fun looking back on your wedding day and remembering these awesome moments!

We were all so excited when we saw that Blair had gotten Brittany a brand new truck for a wedding gift!

I also loved looking back through all your portraits at Glen Flora!

We can't wait to keep track of you and see where life takes you! Happy Anniversary!

We had a real treat when Dusty and Jake came and spent the evening with us to get their engagement photos taken. Dusty is one of my oldest friends, but as is the case with old friends, we don't see each other nearly as often as we should. Luckily, we have one of those friendships where we can always pick up right where we left off. I am so happy that these two have found each other... you can tell how much joy they have when they are together.

You'll see a few Polaroid's in this post. We brought along our Polaroid camera to take a few pictures. Love these, too!

Pure happiness!

This is my favorite picture we've taken in a looooooooong time. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that I am so over-the-moon happy to see one of my best friends with the kind of love that she deserves.

A little later in the evening, we got to bring in the coolest kid ever, Truitt, to take some pictures with his parents!

What a little toot.

At the end of the shoot, Truitt wanted to take a picture of Dusty and Jake. He's a pretty good photographer, don't you think? That's his picture on the right.

Dusty and Jake (and Truitt too) - we are so excited to continue on this journey with you! We can't wait for your wedding later this year!
