Behind The Lens: Over Winter

Just another cold winter day here in Minnesota. It's March and spring still seems so far away. 

Practice Makes Perfect

I've been trying to teach myself the art of photography for a little while now. I haven't been able to get my hands on any decent equipment but my wonderfully generous cousin, Vinnie let me borrow his Canon EOS 60D. What a beat! Anyway, here's a sneak peak of Ms. Britni.

Home Sweet Home

Boyd and I have enjoyed being home, especially when we had our warm weather last week. We went for walks through the neighborhood and some local parks, which he looooved. He gets to run like wild man while I chase after him (looking equally as crazy). You really take for granted your childhood home and all the luxuries you had until you move away into the real world. It's nice to be back but I need to get back into my adult, busy life. No more post-graduation slump for this gal!

Saturday's Reading Material

Anyone else obsessed with magazines? I seriously live for them. To be honest, I'm probably solely responsible for keeping the magazine industry in business. I have so, so many favorites that I read every month. When I do sit down with my magazines I always bring along a pen and paper. You always find great ideas or things that you want to check out but never remember to. This way, I can ... take notes. I know, it sounds silly. I read so many magazines that I often forget which ones I've read and which ones I haven't. I even buy the UK Edition of some magazines just for some fresh material. (Or accidentally, thinking "Oh! New Cosmo!" and then I realize it's UK once I get home. It's happened on numerous occasions).

What are some of your favorite magazines?

For You, Love Me

I recently came across a blog: Rockstar Diaries to be exact. While reading her "About Me", I saw a video she posted of her and her husband. OH MY Gaaaah, it was amazing. So adorable and creative. At the end of the video, there was a link to the website of the videographers. I immediately went to the page and gazed at all of their glorious pictures and videos.

The company is called For You, Love Me, and they consist of a couple, one a photographer and the other a filmmaker. They are based in the D.C. area but are willing to travel and have some amazing shots from all over the United States and the world. I truly recommend checking out their work if you are into beautiful things. I posted below a wedding day video that they made in New Zealand.

Boyd

Ok, I HAD to make this post from my phone. I don't necessarily like posting from my iPhone but this is worth it. So anyway, Boyd dreams every night, seriously. I'm talking barking in his sleep, legs "running", nose twitching dreams. But last night was something new: He was licking something! He was asleep and a little bit of his tongue was hanging out. He would randomly wave it around like he was licking something. Probably the fridge, his favorite thing to do. I had to snap a picture (and maybe a couple thousand videos) because it was so damn cute!

Don't you love him? I do.... Maybe a little too much.
