loss.

my dear readers,

i have not been blogging this week due to some very tragic news

one of my closest friends died very suddenly monday night

i haven't really known what to do with myself

but i wanted to explain

please pray for her family who are completely heartbroken and shocked

and hug someone you love today. life is so fragile.

nadyne, you were the most beautiful friend and human being. i miss you terribly.

sneak peek:kimberly and riley.

i have been CRAZY busy lately.

what with weddings, planning a shoot and bridal bazaar coming up.

but i thought i'd take a minute to share a quick sneak peek day-after session photo of

kimberly and riley

enjoy and have a lovely weekend

fashion friday?

this is just a test and i may not keep doing it
a lot of it depends on the poll up top!
i suppose i was just feeling fashion-y
i call this dress-to-skirt
or the other way around!

(skirt-urbanoutfitters, tank-americanapparel, belt-vintage, headband-mymama's, jewlery-vintage, grandma's)

have a fashionable weekend!

it's finally starting to feel like fall in SD

maybe i'll post a fall look next week
