wedding wednesday: meet+cute films

I have  strong personal wedding opinions. I believe in first looks, I love small passed food, dessert tables are key, photography is a big deal and your videographer needs to be awesome.

Which brings us to today’s post. Meet+Cute Films.

The good videographers have an eye for detail, a great conceptual mind and, well, an ear for great musical pairing. Meet+Cute is rocking all of those elements. Which is why I especially love the video above.

Chickens!

have you met my baby…

…baby brother that is.

Today I feel like I have been gifted with the older sister keys to the kingdom. Yesterday I got this gem from my aunt, by way of my mother.

Brief background, my brother moved back to LA at the end of August for school. He is living with my aunt, uncle, and 9-year old and 6-year old cousins. He loves it. This is about to be proven.

Enjoy.

travel to-do: vegas by way of la

Photography is my passion. I would also love to travel more. I also have several friends that would be great travel companions.

Imagine my excitement when I figured out a way to have all three at one time. So let’s imagine: an Our Labor of Love Feet First session, Las Vegas, February. Now imagine that it gets better (cause oh yeah it does). One Miss Madeline Peters and one Miss Whitney Porter…flying to LA, frolicking, road tripping to Vegas, a photography workshop experience of a lifetime. All I have to say is….LA and Las Vegas…get ready because a Peters/Porter Extravaganza may be coming your way.

Feet First + B L O G S H O P !

beauty in movement

I would love to dance semi-professionally again. To be in a company. To feel the butterflies in my stomach as my counts of music approach to cue my entrance on stage. But mostly, I want to feel the beauty of the music, of the movement.

Like the naomi, the writer behind the blog rockstar diaries and the one who lead me to the video through said blog, all I wanted to do was get up and have an improv dance moment in the living room. To be completely honest, I still do…after the fifteenth watch.

must have/mission monday: clean water

have you met charity: water (@charitywater).

If you haven’t, you are missing something special. Charity: water is an organization that believes in bringing water to people in developing nations. They devote 100% of their donations and their time to this cause, none of it goes to the administration of the non-profit (there is a separate special group of people who give solely for that end). And when at first they don’t succeed, they try try again. And September, launches their fifth birthday campaign where they have pledged to raise $1.2 million to obtain a new drilling rig and all the things that go with it.

So maybe take a moment this September to be thankful for the little things we take for granted, and to maybe give to allow other people the gift of clean water.

(In case you aren’t convinced, a video to inspire).
