Wedding Wednesday: Raj & Shweta


I love when we get to shoot Indian weddings. I love the vibrant colors and learning about the meaning behind the rituals and traditions. Here are a few of my favorites from Raj & Shweta's wedding this past weekend at the Sentinel Hotel in Portland. 









More coming soon! OR if you can't wait, check these out.

Would You Add Butter to Your Coffee?


Have you heard of this new craze called Bulletproof Coffee? People are adding butter to their morning cup of Jo instead of creamer...to loose weight. What??

Dave Asprey "invented" this concoction after tasting coffee with butter while trekking in Tibet. His recipe involves adding unsalted butter and MCT oil (or coconut oil) to your morning coffee, then blending it in to a frothy "latte-like" drink. He claims that when substituted for breakfast it is a great tool for weight loss while heightening awareness at the same time. Sounds about right if you don't eat breakfast and then drink coffee... I wouldn't know though since I'm more of a tea girl.

Apparently butter coffee is becoming the new thing at fancy coffee shops as well, would you try it?

Look Who Is Finally Crawling!!



Yep, that's Mylo! Our pediatrician told us he should be crawling by his first birthday and he is just squeezing it in before the deadline. We are thrilled (and need to get baby-proofing, I guess he inherited his procrastination from us!).

And a little peek-a-boo video because I can't resist.

It's a throwback to the Grammys in February!

Jason (@jkoephoto) decided to post this on his Instagram randomly last night, thanks Jason!

How fun is it when your best friend comes with you to the Grammys!?!

This was taken after the ceremony, when we were all STARVING! They need to have more food at these things!

I'm focusing on being thankful today, for all the wonderful people and adventures in my life.


Favorite Things: Sofia Coppola Champagne Cans


Have you tried Sofia Coppola's amazing champagne "mini" cans? I love her champagne anyway but these little guys are perfect for sneaking into the movies, taking along for picnics, and sipping at bridal showers/pre-wedding festivities. They are one of my favorite go-to gifts for friends who like bubbly. Perfect for a fun summer treat!
