I just got back today from a little escape to warm sunshine and good friends. I spent the weekend in Kansas City with my friends, The Solars (if you’ve read my blog then you know them from their amazing Road Trip in a Box and Indoor Adventure Guide that I’ve swooned over). I am home feeling exhausted and happy… late night conversations with true friends and fabulous days spent with other photographers left me with sore cheeks, a couple extra smiles lines and a full heart (not to mention some fun images of adorable little girls in crazy beautiful dresses). I want to thank each and every one of you that came for the day. It was a perfect group full of talent and humor… I couldn’t have asked for better!
I wish you could see these dresses in person… oh. my. They are hand painted, mixed media and sooooo gorgeous (ZozoBugBaby showing off her art skills & beyond!)…
