52 Weeks 1.9

Wow, we are already 9 weeks into the year!  Crazy hard to believe that winter (one of my least favorite seasons!) is almost over!  This was a week of getting things done at home and in the office (read taxes and bookkeeping, bla), so not a whole lot of photos taken. But I did get to tap some Maple trees with Ben’s class on a field trip, hang out with some wonderful friends on a bowling night, finally make some progress on my personal goals by getting our headboard/ footboard up and in our room (a long time coming, but we finally feel like grown-ups!), and have the kids have a playdate with friends!

How was your week?!

    Highlighted Vendor:: Gunpowder n Gloss

    Over the past few years,  I have been extremely blessed to get to know wedding vendors.  They are the behind the scenes people that help make a wedding day even more fabulous with their talents and abilities. I have chosen a few vendors turned friends to interview and share more about them, because I think they are so wonderful at what they do!

    First off I want to share my wonderful friend and talented make up artist Chris of Gunpowder n Gloss. Chris and I met when I photographers her wedding back in 2014. She now does on-site make up and has a few other business ventures up her sleeve in the next couple months!

    I asked her to share more about her business with me!

    Describe you business. Rewarding, fun, and life-changing.

    How long have you been in business? I have been in business since 2014

    Why did you start your business? I decided to start my makeup on location for brides because I have always had a passion for working with bridal clients throughout my cosmetic career ; I love making women feel beautiful in their own makeup style.
    Also another large part of my decision to start a business was having my first daughter Kelly Lynn; I wanted the opportunity to have a career and be home with her.

    What have weddings taught you? Weddings have taught me to slow down and enjoy the moment, , it goes so fast on your special day!

    Describe your style. My style has always been country chic

    What is the best thing you have seen on a wedding day? The best thing I saw on someone’s wedding day was the groom wiping away his brides tears at the alter; so touching and sweet!

    Where do you find inspiration? Some of my sources of inspiration for my work is my love for the country lifestyle!

    What do you do to wind down after a long day if work? I love to wind down after a long day of work with my favorite cocktail in the summer! In the cold winters by the fireplace with some hot tea.

    Tell me something more about your business? I have been told I do amazing work, super easy to work with, fun to talk to, and that my team and I are highly professional. I always put my client needs first and always ensure they will be happy with their makeup look.
    One thing I do that is important; I walk thru my process for the client; it is nice to make them a part of the application so they don’t feel clueless in what I am doing on their face; clients seem to really appreciate that!

        Spring Sessions:: Wenner Family

        If there is one thing I love it is when the snow starts melting, the days get longer and warmer, and the grass gets greener.  On this very last day of February, I can not help but start thinking about spring and no better way to do it that by going back to a spring session.  Also, to give you a heads up, in tomorrow’s newsletter spring mini session dates will be included! So those of you who who like to get your dates on the calendar, they will be included!  Check back here tomorrow, or check your e-mail to see the dates and times!  Locations will be determined by flowers, but most likely in the Minneapolis area!

          52 weeks:: 1.7

          This past week was a speedy one for us. Jam packed with Valentines day  to one more science fair night, to at home things, to a shoot I had with a friend of mine.  I love looking through these weeks and do have a plan to get these photos into a book by the end of they year for my kids as a gift!
