My Living Locket

I recently discovered an awesome company called Origami Owl, who produces beautiful Lockets! As the daughter of a jeweler (my dads the best!) I am very picky about jewelry.  I love these Living Lockets!  You select the style  of Locket, the charms you want to place in it, and other items and even the chain. It came today on a dreary cloudy rainy day. I heard the doorbell ring early this morning to find the Fed Ex guy driving off and he had left a tiny pkg on the porch, wrapped in a big plastic bag.  

So I hurridly opened it and lookie what I found!  I just love this company and their sweet style.

The founder is a fun gal, and the products are top notch and high quality!  YAY! Im wearing it every day!

 

 

 I chose 6 charms to go inside.

1. A camera, because im a Certified Master Photographer.

2. A Fish, because I'm a Christian

3. A Blingy D, because I'm Dixie Dobbins!

4. an Airplane, because my husband is an Airline Jet Pilot and I love to travel.

5. My birthstone, Aquamarine,

6. a TWO, with bling because I am a Mom of 2 and a GLAM Ma of two!

7. and the MOM, because Im a mom and I love my Mom!

 

I hope you will check them out! They have a facebook page too,  Origami Owl.

This whole locket and chain only cost me just a tad over $100 with shipping! 

Things like this make me GLAD to be ALIVE!

WOW, as a Kid, my dad would take us out to the Davis Mountains to look for Arrowheads. My dads  huge collector of Indian artifacts.   We would camp on a friends land that was so far out in the middle of no where, that the stars were breathtaking. No wonder that there are several Observatories in the Davis mountains. This video of New Zealand, a time lapse video really makes me remember those times. The landscapes look so much like where he would take us. Enjoy this video, Things like this make me so glad to be alive and live in this beautiful place we call Earth. Amazing Time Lapse Video of New Zealand!

Such a precious family!

Love this family! Ive photographed each of the grandchildren when they were 6months old for our "BABY FACES" wall portraits.  So adorable! This family owns several awesome shops in town, called MOSLEY TRADING COMPANY, Cadillac Cowgirl, and a few others.  http://mosleyshome.webs.com/apps/photos/    They have beautiful furniture, home décor, clothing, jewelry, you name it!  Unique Western items. Anyway I was so excited when grandma asked me to come out to Henrietta to their beautiful homestead and photograph all of them together. I cant tell you how important it is to do a portrait like this!  Every family needs a beautiful family portrait taken once every 5 years MINIMUM.  (I recommend every 3 years!)  She ordered a 16x20 on Strecher  Canvas, it will be gorgeous hanging in their lovely western style home!  

The sweet grandbabies!  The youngest girl is missing, she was feeling grumpy that day. Arnt they adorable!?    

Mindy & Michael

I got to photograph the sweetest couples wedding recently! What a picture perfect couple they are. Mindy & Michael, she is a nurse and has such a gentle sweet soul, but let me tell you, she rocked her you- know-what-off at her reception! Its was a beautiful wedding of pink and white, with all things girly!

Here are just a few of my faves!

Ashtyn!

Ashtyn is one of those Free spirits! Wild, untamed and fun. she laughs all the time.  I love being around people like that. They are pure joy.  Just look at these gorgeous Auburn Locks!  She brought her funny boyfriend and mom too and we made an afternoon of it. here are a couple of my faves!
