I’m a list-maker. Always have been. I think it comes from juggling a zillion hours of writing courses in college. One of my favorite journalism professors gave homework assignments in list format, and I was that crazy student who actually loved adding little check marks beside each task. If it wasn’t on the list, it probably wasn’t going to get done…so yeah…I’ve spent the better part of a decade drowning in lists. But through the years only ONE list stands out to me. I made it the first day I signed the lease on my studio, sitting in the floor of the place I would call home for the next 3 years..wondering what the heck I had gotten myself into. I had just signed away three years of my life & all I could think about was making a list of goals. ( welcome to my only Type-A tendency! Thankfully after running this place for the past few years, I’ve mellowed out a bit ;)

Now this list wasn’t just a “get furniture, make studio pretty” list. It was serious business. It was reaching into the big dream pocket & pulling out the BIG ones. Like “shoot out of the country” ( check! ), “win first place in a photo competition” ( check! ) and “get featured on Style Me Pretty”… ( as of Tuesday…check! ) From the minute Style Me Pretty hit the web, it was the place to be for brides looking for inspiration & the place all wedding pros wanted to see their work featured. So thanks to Abby, Shawna, Erin & the rest of the crew at Style Me Pretty, my goal list is complete. And thanks to my sweet couple Beatriz & Dwayne for creating such an airy, chic wedding day that perfectly suited them. Their full blog post is coming up next, but in the meantime, head over to Style Me Pretty to get a little taste of what’s to come.

I’m off to make a new goal list :)

And while I’m in a news-sharing mood…I’m thrilled to announce you can find me in SMP’s Little Black Book of preferred vendors here:
