My weekend

I turned the big 34 over the weekend. Oh yes, one year closer to 35, it's kind of hard to believe. I am not sweating it too much, so far my 30's have been fantastic. It seems like each year brings something new and exciting.

This year we celebrated with friends and family at a quaint french restaurant and then enjoyed drinks after with more friends. My friend Rachel surprised me with the most fabulous cake in the shape of a Chanel bag that she HANDMADE! This takes "have your cake and eat it too" to a whole new level.


I am incredibly lucky to have made such amazing friends since moving to Kansas City 4 years ago. These girls are the best! Thanks for helping me celebrate ladies!



Got these fabulous Kendra Scott earrings that I have been eyeing for years. LOVE them.

On Sunday I got to photograph my twin nieces. They are precious and such easy subjects to shoot.


As a birthday treat to myself I purchased a ticket to Florida for a girls trip...let the fun begin ladies!

I will be back next week, hopefully with a tan and some fun photos from our trip.
