Audrey: A FOUR year old :)

This little dumpling has graced my blog since she was an infant and I love getting to capture her as she grows.  Happy Birthday, sweet girl!

Victoria: A College Graduate

This sweet gal is a former student of mine and she emailed me recently about photographing her for her college graduation.  Where has the time gone?!  She was a kind, mature, level-headed girl in high school and is still that way today.  I'm so proud to have played a teeny tiny role in her education.  We met at her parent's house and I could hardly believe my eyes.  Their yard looks like a beautiful park.  It is so picturesque and everything was growing so lush and green.  I managed to escape the shoot with a few hydrangea clippings.  Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

Hello Heartspun followers.

It's me B.jane....Viv's Guest blogger.

I just wanted to sneak in here for a minute to tell you..

how a SIMPLE liner can turn a SIMPLE laundry basket

into a "sweet" storage solution.

see

a basket for BABIES

a basket for Dipes and Wipes

a basket for the BEACH

a basket for organizing LAUNDRY

Or a basket for BOOKS.

"SEW"

if this seems like something you can use...

I promise It's NOT hard to make!

Here is a little PICTORIAL for you.

I cut 2 yards of fabric into 2 pieces.

63 x 18 in. each

I then ironed on interfacing to the back of ONE piece.

Next...i placed the good sides together like this.

Then...I sewed across like this

I then turned it inside out...making it look like this:

Iron and fold over ends (7 inches) to make a pocket

like this.

and some sweetness here..if you want.

I used two packs of Wright's quit binding to seal up the edges.

I sewed on a piece of ribbon to each corner.

Now.

if my pictorial totally confused you?!

This next picture should help!

It's really just one long rectangle folded up on the ends.

Laura: Senior 2011

Sweet Laura and her mom showed up for our shoot last week and we've been corresponding since August about this shoot.  I felt like I already knew them.  Laura's enthusiasm and excitement was contagious.  She was totally comfortable in front of the camera and was up for anything!  Mom explained to me that Laura is a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll, so we thought the quirky antique buildings in town would be perfect. Then we ventured to my in-laws driveway for a little bit of country (thanks, mimi and pawpaw).  I loved her ecclectic and sweet spirit!

Enjoy the rest of your Senior year, Laura!!!  Thanks for picking me!

Kaz: Senior 2011

Besides having the coolest name I've ever heard, Kaz also happens to be a super nice, charming guy.  He wears his smile soooo big and it was certainly making my morning easy.  He'll be at A&M in the fall and I have no doubt that his smarts, awesome personality, and good looks will serve him well in college.  Love the round bale shots.  Only in Crosby, right?! But the show-stealer was Ruby's Barber Shop.  Ruby's has been in business a looooong time and they were kind enough to let us shoot on their front porch.  We even got the green light to go visit their antique tractor and bluebonnets and it was small-town perfection.  Thank you, Lisa and Annette!

 

 

Kayla: Senior 2011

Oh to be tiny, tan, and eighteen again!  Miss Kayla is so beautiful and though she was a bit camera shy at first, we were able to get her comfortable and you'd never know that it took her a little while to warm up.  She looks so natural.  We hopped into one car and I'm glad we did because there was plenty to laugh about on the way. 

Congratulations, Kayla!
