Pups have become a popular wedding accessory! Here are a few ways that your wedding day photographer might capture man’s best friend.
Feast your eyes on this months engagement session featuring the one and only, Taylor Lord! She’s one of my favorite photographers/creatives from Texas and she has the camera skills to back it up. I love this post and you will love this sweet couple, Chas and Veronica, before you finish this post!

DIY PERFECT SUMMER POPS…presented by Cake Walk Bake Shop and photographed by Apryl Ann Photography.
Ingredients:
- lemonade (2-3cups)
- green tea, room temperature (2-3cups)
- simple syrup (1 cup)
- fresh mint (handful)
- fresh edible flowers (as many as you like)
Equipment:
- Pop Molds (I purchased this mold on Amazon for under $20)
- Popsicle Sticks
- it’s that easy!
1. Mix equal amounts Green Tea + Lemonade into a spouted vessel (for easy pouring). Add a splash (to taste) of simple syrup to cut the tartness of the lemonade.
2. Mix it up.
3. Pour the tea-lemonade mix into the pop molds, only filling to about 1/3. You must freeze the pops in phases, otherwise the fun stuff (flowers + mint) would all float to the top of the mold, leaving you with a mostly solid-looking pop.
4. Carefully place a few flowers and mint leaves into the pop mold, dunking them into the tea-lemonade liquid. You may choose to use a fork or butter knife for this, but I just went all in with my fingers.
5. Freeze each layer for at least 2 hours so that the layer is completely set before you add the next, otherwise meltage will occur and your carefully preserved flowers will float on up to join their friends in the next layer. Only partially freeze the second (middle) layer for 30 minutes to 1 hour so that you can place the popsicle stick. You are looking for an almost slushy like texture with enough thickness to hold the stick in place. Insert the stick and pop it back into the freezer to continue to freeze solid before adding the final layer. If adding a sliced lime, this would be the layer to do so. For each layer, repeat steps 3 and 4. Let the entire pop freeze for at least 6 hours before sharing with friends.
Enjoy!
Note: To make simple sugar, mix one part sugar with one part water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and let cool.
Fun Ideas: Make adult-only pops by adding sweet tea vodka! Add almonds for crunch! Use pink lemonade to add some extra color!
Photographers, this ones for you! Yes, diamonds are already gorgeous but look to this post to show some creative ways to style them. Sometimes the most obvious mundane objects with a little texture or color can really make a ring pop.
With all the craze of Fifty Shades of Grey, I thought it appropriate to post a sample of boudoir photography. Elizabeth Messina and Je T’aime keep it classy with these lovely images of beautiful bodies. Keep in mind… a boudoir session could be the perfect gift for your beau.
