Birthdays and Announcements
So, this week was my birthday and I’m feeling quite grown up. This is largely due to the fact that said birthday coincided with my last week working at Publications & Graphics, which means that I am now 100% self employed!
Though I’ll miss my job and my awesome co-workers, I’m really excited to be able to totally devote myself to my business.
I’ve got big plans for improvements, so you can expect to see:
-A mega website revamping
-Some much needed portfolio updates
-Pricing adjustments I think you’ll like
-New offerings (did someone say hair and makeup styling for engagements/bridals? YESSSS!)
-And of course, much more of yours truly
Are you excited? I most certainly am.

Spring Makes Me Want To Eat Things That Are Green
When I first got married I was more gung-ho about cooking than I am now. I must have had more time back then. When I cook, I don’t really use recipes, I just kind of make things up. Or, if I do use recipes they’re old family ones with instructions like “keep adding flour until it gets really hard to stir.”
Every time I made something noteworthy, I would take a picture of it. Due to the fact that I am not a food stylist, I have a large collection of mediocre photos of meals I made two years ago. However, I found this one the other day and thought it was post worthy.
It’s from a pear and pomegranate salad. I don’t think that pears or pomegranates are in season right now, but if you’re interested in making this one someday, it’s essentially just romaine lettuce, candied walnuts, pomegranate seeds, a chopped pear, and some variety of raspberry vinaigrette.
Enjoy!

what makes you happy these days?

Light Leaks
I’ve been shooting more film lately (per Jonathan Canlas’ insistence), and I took these to test out the old Rollei that Brad loaned me. Obviously, it failed the test. The camera has some light leaks but I actually kind of like how these shots turned out.

Comments
My apologies to anyone who has tried to comment anytime in the last two months.
I had no idea that my new blog wasn’t set up to allow comments (many thanks to Leslie for letting me know!)
And here I was thinking nobody reads my blog.
Anyway, the problem has been solved and you can now comment your little hearts out, please do!

Alice Lane Giveaway
Oh man, Alice Lane is giving away a gift certificate on their blog.
We’re moving to a new apartment next month and I’ve been obsessing about the decor. I would so LOVE to have some stuff from there!
