a birthday lullaby

A little something I made for my amazing Mama :) She used to sing Edelwiss (pronounced 'Adelvice'.. I know, I never would have known that's how you spell it) to me while I nodded off to sleep :) I remember thinking she should be a professional singer because she sounded sooo beautiful.


<3 happy birthday Mama!

something I've been meaning to share!!

Just this week I found out Stanley and I's wedding was featured on the beautiful wedding site Style Me Pretty!

It's such a blessing to have the opportunity to share our day with individuals from all kinds of different places. The wedding was quite an adventure! (and sometimes I say my greatest piece of work so far :P ). The planning was fun and difficult and exciting and a little stressful. But ultimately the whole day ended up being a masterpiece. Better than I could have ever planned. It was beautiful seeing all these people (family, friends, vendors) come together to celebrate our love and get excited about all God has in store for us. 

For pictures from the day from the amazing Kristen Marie, video from the wonderful duo at Lucky Lemon Films, and a bit more wedding ranting from me take a quick trip to Style Me Pretty.

grounded in love

grounded: mentally and emotionally stable : admirably sensible, realistic, and unpretentious

Marriage was the first thing to come to my mind when I read through this definition of grounded :)

Recently a friend asked me if I will ever get out of this "wedding phase" that I've gotten into since planning my own wedding. 

I don't think I ever will. 

I'm just captivated by the purity and beauty that is present when two people choose to love each other forever.

So for this week's Illustration Friday I chose a bride and groom whose relationship is grounded on unconditional love.

summer work

Oh how busy life can beee

I have been spending my post grad summer planning my soon-to-be wedding and enjoying some quality time with the fam. I am marrying my best friend in just a month and will be moving over to the west coast :) but of course! there is always more planning and packing to be done.

I very much so look forward to sitting in my new house at my new table with my new husband eating a lovely meal together and laughing about our day. 

It will be wonderful.

These new brides are from a commission I did earlier this summer for a bridal gift.

I think I will always enjoy drawing brides..
