Hitting The Ground Running

, ,

Welcome to one of the busiest weekends that I've experienced in quite some time. A nonstop weekend full of hair, makeup, weddings, and a boudoir shoot. I love getting to be a part of such a special day.  Even though this weekend was more work than play, it was a blast! The wedding we had the privilege of photographing this weekend was so beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a nicer bridal party. 

Sunday morning, I was at it again, doing hair, and airbrushing a beautiful bride in Leachburg. It may have been about an hour and a half to get there but what's better than jamming to some of your favorite music with the top down? 

Without taking a second to breathe, had a trial run with an August bride, followed then by a Boudoir shoot. 

I've always been a fan of hats, good thing I wear a lot of them!

Have an event coming up? Look like you just stepped off the beach by mixing liquid bronzer with a firming body cream, then massage it into your arms. It'll temporarily tighten your skin and give it a sunkissed glow.

 

Until next time...

A Sign Of Summer

,

I feel very lucky to live in an area that has four seasons. Believe me, this wasn't always the case. I could have easily moved to the West Coast and been happy. However, I get bored easy so over the years I have realized that us having the four seasons really has made me appreciate them all. Even Winter for like a week or so. Ha!

In my house growing up one true sign that summer was upon us was Zucchini Bread sitting on the counter. My Dad always had a huge garden that supplied basically everything, including giant zucchini's perfect for making this signature summer staple. I can still picture my Mom boiling the freshly picked green beans and having just got the most delicious zucchini bread from the oven.

Here is my easy zucchini bread recipe:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 cup chocolate chips...for some added pizzazz!

Mix it all together, grease the pan you choose typically in the shape of a rectangle, bake it on 325 for 50-60 minutes. Mine took a little longer so check it with a toothpick to make sure nothing is stuck to the wood when you pull it out.

Do you have a favorite summer recipe?

Beautifying The Bride

,

What day is it? Where am I? It's official, MK and I have entered our busy season. Along with he and I doing photography for weddings, as you know I offer hair and makeup as well. This past weekend, we were at The Oak Lodge for Joelle and Darryl's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and I'm always happy to lend a hand with hair and then make the quick switch to photographer. 

Here's a little tip that I tell all of my Brides, if you are ever getting your hair done for a special occasion always wear a wrap, zip, or button up. That way, you hair and makeup stays in tact.
