No rhyme or reason to these - just wonderful shots I was lucky enough to stumble upon. LOTS of inspiration here! I wish I wasn't cooped up in an office and was instead out in the world attempting shots like these. Click, click & click some more!

Happy Monday!

{ Escape }

This blog is my escape. I can do anything, say whatever and go anywhere. And after another rough day at work { who wants to hire me as their personal photographer so I can get out of this place? } I need a real escape. A serious escape. A leave all my troubles behind escape.

It may just be me but it seems as if everyone in the blogging world is talking about Paris these days and It's really starting to rub off on me. I can't think of a more beautiful, calming place to escape. Here are just a few things I want to see, taste, feel while on my imaginary Parisian holiday...come away with me.

{ Valentine } Inspirations

It's February and time for all things pink and red - a fabulous color combo if you ask me. While I'm impartial to Valentine's Day I do love the colors, the candies and the excuse to let loved ones know just how much they are loved.

R and I usually don't do anything special on VDay and this year is no exception since I'll be celebrating the day in Phoenix with the NBA's best players and R will be at home snuggling with the Zu Girl.

However I'm still feeling festive and thought it fitting to share some of these fine photos.

Focus Group

1.

Ok my dear friends. I sold a photo the other day on my etsy page and I was so stoked that I'm trying to get more prints up there. I had this wacky idea of adding text to some of my images to turn them into cards of some sort. It all started with Jamie's birthday. Eventually I want to be able to print actual cards myself but I can't find the right paper. And I don't want to go through the process of ordering them online since I want to print them as they're purchased. But that's not what this is about...

I need your help. If you would so kindly be a little "online focus group" and let me know what you think of these little creations.

• Would you purchase them as actual prints? Or would you prefer them as cards?
• Would you even purchase them if they were cards?
• Do you like the added text at all or would you rather it not be there?
• If you do like the text, do you like one simple word as shown?
• Would you like to see phrases like Happy Mother's Day, Congratulations, Get Well Soon, etc?
• Would you like to see quotes? Song lyrics?
• If given the option would you want a customized print where you tell me what to write on the shot?
  
• What do you think of the fonts? Keep it simple? Or do you like the funkiness?
  

Any other advice would be AWESOME! I appreciate all of your creative input : ) I've numbered them to make it a little easier for you to tell me which ones you do like and which you could do without. Thank you!
