19 Ways I use Pinterest

01.20.12 in personal

Growing up, one of my favourite activities was to go through magazines and cut out anything that interested me. My goal was always to glue everything together and make a collage. That never happened. I never got past the “cutting out pictures process.” I spent hours and always ended up with a pile (or mess, as my mom would say) of cut out inspirational things and photos.

This is why I was so absolutely delighted to come across the website, Pinterest. For those who don’t what this virtual pinboard is about, check out this video tutorial: How to Use Pinterest. If you need an invite, let me know.

Here are 19 ways I’m using and lovin’ it!

1. What to wear inspiration for engagement photos

2. Stuff that makes me laugh

3. Dinner ideas

4. Collecting too many delicious baking recipes

5. Finding new hairstyles

6. Wedding planning when you’re not engaged (shhh..)

7. Following my bride’s inspiration boards

8. Cute animals. who can resist?

9. DIY ideas to craft

10. Finding photo inspiration for my own work

11. Brand inspiration

12. Dreaming of places to visit

13. Inspirational quotes

14. Gift ideas and personal wishlists

15. Home interior and office ideas

16. Clothes I love (which is basically my wishlist of dresses)

17. Holiday ideas

18. Lovely wedding venues in BC

19. Sweet little ideas for the romantic at heart

PS. If you’re looking for wedding inspiration galore, I recommend following these ladies: Wedding Chicks, Style Me Pretty, Bayside Bride.

How are you using Pinterest? Be sure to leave me your link so I can follow your pins :)

Favourite Engagement Photos of 2011

01.05.12 in engagements, personal

I gotta admit, I love shooting engagements just as much as weddings. I always come home from them so inspired and energized. Nothing beats photographing a couple in love for me. I know winter technically just began, but I so want to fast-forward through all this rain and go back to those golden, warm, sunny evenings. Or at least we could get some pretty snow, right?

As I get myself back into work mode from the holidays, I thought I’d share some of my favourite engagement photos from the year. You can also click any of the photos to see the full session.
