Inspired by This Antique Market Engagement Shoot
12 comments on this

One of my favorite things is when couples find a way to incorporate something personal into their engagement shoot! This couple did just that in such a cute, unique way! Orange Circle is the most adorable little area in Orange County filled with antique shops and old houses that give it such a “homey” feel. They decided on the area seeing as it was where he proposed and a large majority of the pictures take place on the actual bench where he popped the question! How cute is that!? Such a fun way to kind of recreate the event! After walking around the circle for a while they dropped into Summerhill LTD, one of the many amazing antique shops in the area that was filled with gorgeous chandeliers and dramatic furniture.  Their simple outfits are great because they let them stand out in the busy stores but I also absolutely adore her turquoise necklace and red nails for that little pop of color! They just seem so comfortable and happy in this setting and it definitely shows through the photos shot by the incredible Paige and Blake Green

Be Prepared to Be Inspired…

Each day comes to me with both hands full of possibilities – Helen Keller

“Each day comes to me with both hands full of possibilities”

I love this quote by Helen Keller, she is such an inspiration! It takes a conscious effort to wake up remembering that today is a new day that holds fresh chances for possibilities and opportunities. Today will be what we make of it.

And since today I celebrate another year older, and hopefully another year wiser, I am humbled by all the opportunities and blessings I have received and wanted to share some of what I have learned this past year.

*We never know who we are going to meet, where we will end up, or where the day will take us. I have found that being kind, sending warm emails, and saying please and thank  you has prepared me  for whatever comes my way.

* Its wise to treat everyone with respect because you never know who will be your boss one day or who has the power to make your dreams come true!

*Each day offers a clean slate -  a chance to do right and a chance to do amazing things. Sometimes we forget this, especially when it comes to our businesses because we’re bogged down with logistics – pleasing clients, paying bills, negotiating contracts, etc…

*Work hard while at work… there are only so many hours in a day to accomplish what needs to be done, and buckling down during those precious hours is how we achieve our goals. “Why put off to tomorrow what can be done today.”

*In the same respect, leave work at work! Yes it’s important to invest time into growing your businesses, but it’s healthy to have a happy balance between work life and personal life. Friends and family bring joy and happiness and are good for the soul, so be sure to make your time with them count!

*If we take our days for granted and wake up expecting the same ol’ same ol’ then that’s what we’ll get because we aren’t looking to take advantage of new opportunities. An open mind and an optimistic attitude will take your business to levels you’ve never dreamed of!

Here is to a healthy, happy, and making your dreams come true kind of year. I hope to be blessed with another year of just that!
