You pay a lot of money for wedding cake … I know.
They are intentionally made to be ‘beautiful to behold’… edible art.

Three best suggestions for greatly enhancing the beauty of your
once-in-a-lifetime cake or cupcake investment:
* put it next to a window
* add lights
* use a mirror

In daylight or at night, any one of these suggestions
will make a big beautiful difference in your display.
Your photographer will “Thank You”!

Light is very important on its own,
but add some kind of reflection to that light (window or mirror),
and dessert will become ‘celebrity’ at the reception.

People will hate to take it apart, BUT they’ll take pictures first.
And those pictures will be beautiful.
Window … mirror … lights.

‘Tis the season … graduation will be here so fast you’ll wonder
what you did March through May. That’s how it goes – every year.
While I was teaching, January through May seemed to go by
twice as fast as September to December … not sure why …
I think there’s just more ‘stuff’ in spring … traveling, competitions, programs.

Hopefully one of the things you haven’t missed is ‘Senior Pictures’.
There is still PLENTY of time for on-location captures AND the creation
of custom gift prints, memory books, announcements and invitations.
A Senior ‘All About Your Session’ page (in prep for upcoming seniors
and the new school year to come) is being created to post on Monday …
But if you’re a current senior and you’d like the info, send me a message
(either here – CONTACT link above – or through Facebook).
Include your school name and graduation date and I’ll send the link when it’s up.

… number of days, hours, and minutes left scheduled into your phone?
There’s an app for that: Apple Countdown
Congratulations!

Look around your living room, family room, or entryway today.
Where is your family canvas? … Mounted piece in an easel? …
Large framed piece? … anything??

Our ‘growing’ family is due for another picture – we have new members!
And pictures around the house ‘keep them here’ … make you smile …
make you laugh … bring tears to your eyes (in a good way).
One of my listed ‘home projects’ for this year is to create a Gallery Wall.

Currently, there’s an outdated shelf in the living room supporting 8 frames,
4 of 4 awesome kindergarteners, and 4 larger frames of the
older ‘senior’ versions. “Through The Years” …
Now that we’ve added spouses and GRAND kids, that corner needs an update!
(What will I do with those little kiddos though…?)

Whatever we do needs to be appropriate for the house to come someday.
So right now I’m looking at creating a collection of sorts,
much like those shown at Tidbits and Twine
the ‘collected look’ of Pottery Barn (not necessarily FROM Pottery Barn,
though I do still have a hot little Christmas gift card to be used).

How about you?
How about your house?
Do you need that one ‘feature picture’ of your own for a start?
Remember, if all your images are on a disc, in a computer or phone,
the only person enjoying them is … no one
.
Let me help you get it ‘on paper’.
Start ‘small’ and add as you can!
We can even take a picture of your wall and let you see what your
pictures would look like on it – actual size.
