february is fun!

By Kate Altmix | Personal | 3 Comments

there are lots of great things about february coming up- like….um….groundhog day? oh, and valentine‘s day and president‘s day. so while we’ll all, no doubt, be wildly celebratory this month very few people are actually going as far as to tie the knot. we heard when we entered the biz that february would be a slow month but now that it is almost here we’re not totally jazzed about chillin’ for the next 28 days. so what i’m trying to say is this, we want to shoot YOU! YOU, dear reader, it’s YOUR turn! so bundle up or slip back into your wedding dress or grab the baby or the puppy or the roommates, it’s time for a SOLID month of day shoots! we’re totally excited to get creative and stretch ourselves before we dive back into weddings and we’d love for YOU to be a part of it! anything goes this february and we can’t wait to see what you bring! so BRING IT! please? contact us for your day shoot, TODAY!

in other news, yellow bike can’t wait until spring! he’s been boycotting winter by slowly rusting in our bedroom (oh yes, he’s that spoiled, he sleeps in our room). can’t wait for it to warm up so we can steel wool him all clean and hit the streets! yea!

quick links!

for the last few days i’ve been pretty overwhelmed with love. no worries, this post isn’t going to get all deep and stuff, but seriously, when i received my newest real simple i couldn’t help but fall hard. and because it’s almost my birthday, i’ve allowed myself to fall straight in love with a few etsy shops that i’d previously only admired at a safe distance from my purse. and oh, food. just the beauty of the raw ingredients has been getting to me lately! and inspiration and ideas!? i’ve been bookmarking more posts than i have in ages. it seems 2009 is really bringing out the best in everyone! and since i’m CLEARLY a bit overwhelmed, today i’m just going to share some lovely links!

first up, food+photography. hard to beat that combo in my world! béa’s recipes are perfect and her images are just stunning:

next let’s talk about seth godin’s blog- FULL of amazing advice and business articles! he really shares his brilliance here so if you’re at all interested in business, i recommend it. and speaking of love- this recent article was great!

and then there’s etsy. i could write a whole post about my love for this site but for today i’ll just link to a few favorites!

so now back to pretty pictures and good food! these sites are also full of beautiful ways to style food as well as table designs and foodie gift ideas!

you probably don’t know that i love fashion- mostly because of my signature grey sweatpants and tank tops- but really i do. the exotic taste and finds of these next two blogs keep me falling in love with style:

and last but most certainly not least two of my fave wedding inspiration blogs. this is another section that could take up a whole blog post!

anyway, friends, i hope you’ve found something here that makes you really happy! i’m always excited about new and beautiful blogs so if you have some favorites, it would be awesome if you’d leave a comment with the link! i’d LOVE to add a few more blogs to my reader! :)

the chills.

there are many things matt and i like about our job- in fact i could talk all day about how much we love what we do but today i want to discuss just one thing that matt and i LOVE on a wedding day. we LOVE having some time with just the bride and just the groom to take some individual, more creative, portraits. this past weekend i was so excited when the bride stepped away from her ladies for just a few minutes and worked it for some unique portraits! we were able to work with what we had in her bridal room and get some pretty sweet shots- you’ll see many more later but i couldn’t help but post the one i just finished editing. i LOVE it. and i LOVE stasia. and i cannot wait to show you more- SOON!

in other news:

ATLANTA, WHY ARE YOU FREEZING OVER!?

i guess it is january and i should really be relishing this because in a few short months it’s going to be 101 degrees and steamy but the fact remains, today it’s just freezing. a couple months ago when i created my christmas list matt and i laughed as we realized that all i was asking for were items to help me stay warm- glittens, arm warmers, tights, scarves, long sleeves, boots, cardigans…the list went on. it didn’t occur to me that this was a rash thing to do- that 9 out of 12 months it would all be in a box under the bed- that in two months i’d have wished i asked for cute bathing suits- no. i was just cold and it needed solving and thanks to my loving family, it was. so booyea to all you fancy forward thinkers, i’m warm TODAY! ;)
