Through the past four seasons, Homespun Forte has come full circle. Started while planning my wedding, I have married the man of my dreams, taken on a new photography career, decorated my house, re-decorated my house, and started the new show Suddenly Inspired – all on Homespun Forte! With all of this change that has taken place – I have decided it’s time to move with it! Time to combine forces with my man, Troy Grover.

We traveled up here to shoot a wedding near Yosemite & have had an amazing time traveling with Troy’s parents! Here are a couple of fun shots Troy took of me while visiting Muir Woods. So far, that has been my favorite spot! I loved the amazing smell of the trees, the warm sun & the ‘alive’ feeling I got walking through God’s creation! There is nothing like it!

The busy season has begun! I had to share this ADORABLE picture of the flower girl from our last wedding in Omaha. Isn’t she just the CUTEST thing? I LOVE little kids that wear glasses. She even has her little nails painted pink! I hope this puts a smile on your face today!

Stay tuned this week for an easy homemade body scrub on the blog :)

Aly Morford, talented floral designer of The Vines Leaf brought her adorable puppy named Bailee. I couldn’t help but snap a few “lifestyle” photos when I found her curled up & peacefully sleeping in the garden hose.

She is SO cute! I love her little flower accessory. She is so stylish.

The beautiful event took place at the Wigwam Resort on March 12th. In honor of their special day, I thought it would be fitting to post Alyssa’s Bachelorette photos! We had an amazing time in the Temecula vineyards! Alyssa surrounds herself with beautiful people & touches their lives in so many ways! Here are some of the photos from our trip. Congratulations Alex & Alyssa! The love you have cultivated over the past seven years of your relationship is inspiring to many!

The beautiful bride wine tasting with the girls.

We were even served out of the barrel!

One of my favorite pictures of the day – her eyes are gorgeous!

While wine tasting, we ran into a group of men doing the same!

They loved the bride-to-be & gave her a toast from across the room.

So Alyssa walked over to thank them…

And they were so excited for her, they wanted a group photo….not to worry Alex, we found out they were all gay!

Watch: Alex’s Proposal Video

Congrats again A&A! So happy for you both!

My camera gets HEAVY! I have had my eye on a few bags for some time now, the Kelly Moore bag & Epiphanie bags – but I am having a hard time deciding!! They are both so cute – I would probably wear either as a purse! Then of course there are the ShootSac bags – which seem a little more standard to me. What are your thoughts? Even if it’s just based off of looks I’d love to hear your opinion!!

For her bachelorette party we took an old fashioned trolly ride through the Temecula vineyards. It was my first time wine tasting & it was such an experience!! Though it was a little cold and rainy, the afternoon skies cleared & we enjoyed some breathtaking views. Here are a couple of pics from our trip! More to come :)

Me and my sister flew up to Washington and surprised my mom for her Birthday. She was born on Valentines Day, which happens to be the same day as her dad’s Birthday! How special can you get?? Our husbands made a huge sacrifice by letting us go – so we are going to pay them back BIG TIME!

Here are a couple of Valentine cards I crafted up this February with my paper treasures. I gave them a little photo shoot in my old Mustang while up here in the Emerald state! Sending you & those close to me much LOVE today.

I’m not sure if the trees have been falsely alerted that it’s spring, but they look beautiful! Driving past the white and purple blossoms have lifted my spirits this rainy season. The first day of Spring on March 20th is fast approaching! In the meantime, I hope these little sunshine girls (from the wedding we shot last weekend) will put a smile on your face!
