Holiday Bokeh

I made a heart shaped bokeh filter to use during some of my holiday photos. These are a few of my favorites. I'll share how to make your own bokeh soon! It's super easy!!!

Another shot of my nephew Colton. I didn't have the heart filter on, but I still love the bokeh in this photo.

My cousin Matt with his daughter Zoe. Precious!

Violet's 1st Christmas

I just wanted to share some of my favorite shots from my "Violet's 1st Christmas" photo session I took earlier this week. I am in love with how they turned out! Merry Christmas, all!

Oliver's Class Christmas Party

Last week I volunteered to help out with Oliver's class Christmas party. I had fun, but I was also on day one of a really wicked cold so I was, sadly, in a fog and just generally kind of blah. Oliver was super excited to have me there, so it was worth it even though I was under the weather. The kids got to wear their pajamas to school in celebration of The Polar Express. Oliver and I made melted snowman cookies to share with his classmates.

Gift exchange time!

One of my favorite not-really-but-kinda-sorta Christmas songs. Enjoy!

My Christmas Wish List

We're having a rough Christmas this year financially, so I have already asked Josh not to buy me any Christmas gifts. That doesn't mean a gal can't still have some wants. These are the material items at the top of my wish list this year, in no particular order.

Instax Mini 25 - I love the idea of having these little pictures around our home! 

The Holga 120N. Another camera! Hmmmm....I'm noticing a trend here!

Diana F+. I really love this Japanese Golden Week inspired design. 

The Holga 135TIM. Soooooooo cute and very awesome!

A gorgeous bag to put all these cameras in!

This dress from Mod Cloth is awesome!
