So I paid a visit to my friends at Melodi’s Bells & Beaus - the cutest children’s boutique in Lafayette, and while I was admiring the selection, I found and item I just HAD to have!
When I got home, I took some time to admire the packaging. I just happen to be a huge fan of...
Too cute, Dawn! Can’t wait to see photos of the baby when it arrives.
lol That’s the best!! Ill remind Dustin that he cant breastfeed when its time. lol
Love the packaging!! It’s so cute. And the tag is hilarious. I would have laughed hard if I got that for my baby!
Okay, Dawn, so right before I read the last line about it being for your sister, I was thinking this was your way of announcing news for yourself! lol 
REALLY cute line of baby stuff! And yes, I’m a fan of the “hoo-hah” packaging as well – gets me everytime.
Not quite yet Lindsey….but maybe one day… 
I first met Mary and Shane about 4 years ago when they hired me to shoot their wedding. After engagements, bridals, the wedding, and newlyweds…this is now our 5th time working together! I haven’t seen them in a while but they both look amazing! And in just a couple of months, they will be welcoming...

I like the new look its very simple and uncluttered.
Thanks! Took me forever to get it the way I wanted. It’s still not perfect, but good enough. I may be able to fix the rest later.
I’m trying out new themes and css coding, so the blog may look weird for a little while….I’ll change it back if I can’t get it to look the way I like.

Wow this current theme is so bright, but I kinda like it.
Yeh, I really don’t like the white backgrounds with my pics….I always do the white border around them so I really think they “pop” on black better. I’m trying to see what I can do through css…just don’t know what Im doing though.
Hi, Dawn!
I’ve been following your work since a long time (Im a DWF member) and I trying to set up a blog for myself…
Did you search for themes on the WP theme page? Or is it in somewhere else?
I like your old theme better (if you want a suggestion…)
Ricardo
I’m just using the themes within wordpress and trying to edit the css.
I like my old one better than the one you can see right now too, but I have to activate this theme in order to edit the css. You won’t see my edits until I save them, and right now it’s going very slow. So until then, all anyone can see is this big bright monster. I’m trying to fix it though. Might take me all weekend.
Ugh! CSS makes me want to pull my hair out! I have not a clue what I’m doing, and I have a photoshoot so I’m going to have to walk away from this project for a while and leave it in a big mess- sorry!
When I was reading your fst reponse, I was wondering how could you edit the CSS (we are photographers!!) and then I read you second post… that made me laugh.
I am a total “programing-iliterate” and I just can edit what is visuallly editable (sometinhg with a visual interface).
Coding is not for me…
Is there a way to edit those themes in a visual way?
Ricardo
Well, you have to purchase the ability to edit the css, and then you work on it from inside your dashboard and their is a preview button to view any changes you made. Changes made aren’t viewable to the public until you save them. (That’s why my blog has been stuck looking like this for the past couple of days) The bad thing is, I’m making changes in the code, but when I press preview I can’t seem to figure out where the changes took place cause it still looks the same. So that makes the trial and error part of figuring out the code hard, because it feels like i can’t see what I’m doing half the time. I’ve been able to see some changes, but not all. And there is one specific thing I am trying to change, but I can’t seem to locate it in the code. – and this is why i’m pulling my hair out.
Had a wonderful engagement session with Dusti and Kyle! Beautiful day – beautiful couple – beautiful session!
