I Love Your Funny Face...

Can I just say - one of my uttermost favorite movies of all-forever-time is Funny Face starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire.  Why hasn't anyone tried to remake this movie yet?! Oh wait- because it wouldn't be even CLOSE to as classic & endearing as the original.  It has charm, it has dancing, it has song, it has fashion, it has photography, it has emotion - the all-around "dramady".

Let's give 'em the ole' pizazz!!

When I think of things and pictures I've seen that inspire me, I def. think of this one:

Now...would anyone like to volunteer to travel to Paris with me to reenact this photo still?

Oh to be Audrey in France in a LBD (little black dress for the fashion-nots) with a handful of balloons.

*sigh*

Have a Happy Sunday!

Romantic Feelings...

I am in a romantic mood today - I mean a light pink, silky, rose petal, airy, wispy, feathery romantic way.  Thus Ava and I created this:

I am so excited to announce that there are many fun props currently in possession of Plumb, as well as many new fun and exciting props on the way.  To name a few: a newborn posing beanbag, snow white birdies, African drum, fringed baby blankets in a variety of colors, flowery headwear, knitted headwear, speech bubble chalkboards, elaborate Mexican moustaches, Thai parasol, toadstool chairs and more!   If you would like to request a special prop for your upcoming photoshoot, or have one of your own you would like to use, feel free to suggest away!  I love adventure!

Say What You Mean...

Chalkboard speech bubbles are here!  And don't even think about searching all over the internet for ones like mine because the wonderful man I call "Dad" made them especially for Plumb!  *Ask about them for your next photoshoot!!

Yes, We Live By the Beach.....

.....So we should go!  Today I totally kept Ethan home from school so that we could finally go to the beach for the first time this year! We had the urge ~ and I must say, it was completely satisfactory!!  Here are just a few photos of my little treasure seekers -

ava was a little freaked out by the sand at first...

she warmed up to it after a while!

lots of broken seashells

When Life Gives You Lemons...

....Make lemonade! That's right folks - I've officially decided this is the "theme" of my and my husband's brand spankin new office.  We just recently switched my son's room over to our old office for space reasons and are now trying to force cram all of our "junk" into a smaller office and somehow make it look clean, fresh & modern ~ like two artists are working & creating here.  It's a slow process - especially when everything costs money (it kind of just dawned on me....).  Anyway - for the love of wednesday - I decided to show you to progress photos and give you a little peek into our crazed lives. 

lemons on the windowsill (don't worry folks, they're fake...)

progress of shelves so far - nifty, right?

if you don't know yet, then it's probably time - my husband is a HUGE three stooges fan....

Thus the huge welcoming poster as you walk into the room!

Just got my very first double-sided photo card order in for a client.  My heart goes pitter-patter....
