So, I’ve had about ten people personally mention “Tidbit Tuesdays” to me in the last week alone. And for some reason I’m still shocked whenever I find out that anyone reads my blog! Well, I guess the pressure’s on.. Here we go for round four!!
Well! For starters, I’d like to bring to your attention something I think is pretty darn sweet. If you remember this post, then you know Karly and Kyle are movin’ on up! They’ve just launched their new website, and it’s seeping with photos taken by yours truly. I feel so honored to play a part in presenting this duet’s talent to the universe. To visit the website, go to KarlyJurgenson.com, and click on “Karly & Kyle” in the upper-right corner. Also, if you’re interested, Karly and Kyle have their new Christmas album up for grabs right here! If any of ya’ll are as obsessed as I am with “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” by Frank Loesser, you don’t want to miss out on this album!
Woah, I just had a minor panic attack when I looked down and thought one of the diamonds had fallen out of my engagement ring. Turns out I just have bad eyes. Thank God!
Today marks the first day of the last week of my last fall semester ever! Did you follow that? It’s funny though.. Graduation grows ever nearer, but I sorta, kinda, keep forgetting? Because…
I’m getting married!! And my project list continues to grow larger and larger and larger. Who wants to help me cut 50 yards of burlap, wash 200+ antique plates and 160 old bottles and vases, assemble 230 programs, and make 200+ favors?? No seriously.. Anyone want to have a project party!! :)
Oh! Speaking of antiques and things! One of the perks of planning our wedding is getting to go to all sorts of antique shops and thrift stores. I’m so fascinated by old things, I’m pretty sure I was born in the wrong century. The other day we were shopping around and Dylan sweetly said, “If you find a purse you like, I want to get it for you.” But, I talked him into buying two vintage suitcases instead. (And before you think I’m greedy, they amounted to $5! Talk about a steal!) I’m sure we’ll find some purpose for them! :) For every one thing I find for the wedding, there are about five more things I want for our house someday! So Anthropologie. (Inside joke, ha!)
So I have an idea. And I don’t want to do it unless readers are interested.. Here’s the thing: I want to increase my blogging per week. I’m thinking perhaps a weekly before/after tutorial explaining my work flow. Or how about some sort of FAQ-type post? Anybody wanna vote? Or suggest something different? Comment NOW!! :)
I just bit my tongue ridiculously hard. And nearly cried. Or maybe I did cry…
Okay, so those of you who really know me, will know that the name Jasmine Star is pretty much a household term for me. Well, today my Google Reader told me to read Jazzy’s newest blog post and I thought I’d share – The First Look: Groom’s Perspective. For those of you who don’t know what a “first look” is, it’s simply a time before the wedding ceremony when the bride and groom can see each other for the first time. It not only allows your photographer to be less rushed in trying to get great images, but it is often one of the only times a couple can truly be alone during their entire day. A lot of couples tend to think that seeing each other before the wedding will somehow ruin or lessen the emotion of that long-awaited walk down the aisle. But the grooms in this post will tell you otherwise. And that it was the best choice they could have ever made for their wedding day. Needless to say, Dylan and I will be having our own “first look.” So excited!
New favorite website alert! Visit ModCloth.com. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Unless you’re a boy. ;)
I will end this post with a few pics from this past weekend spent in the big NYC with Dylan, Cal and Naomi. I will start with this: I am so thankful for GPS’s. (Pssst.. YAY depth of field!)

Quick little story about this next pic.. When we stopped in Pennsylvania to get gas, I was standing outside with Dylan. I don’t remember what provoked it exactly, but Dylan did something silly and I went to jokingly hit him. Mind you, Dylan constantly laughs at what a weakling I am, and that no matter how hard I try I can never hurt him. So this time, I really, really tried. But I swung and hit the gas pump instead. It doesn’t look that painful, but trust me, it was!! Stupid, stupid girl!!

The pigeon on the far left made me so happy. What an adorable little fatty!!
How about this angle? Told you so!!
Speaking of birds.. Pretty sure this poor, unfortunate soul got pooped on..
A true friend is one that will wipe the bird crap off of your head while boarding gate 10 in Newark Penn Station. (Sorry for the out-of-focus-ness.)
My future brother-in-law, Calvin, and his girlfriend, Naomi. :) Love you guys to pieces!!
And I’ll leave you with this yummy plate of Turkish food! So many bright, beautiful colors, and AMAZING flavors!!
Happy Tuesday! Oh, and another portrait shoot should be up on the blog this week, so stay tuned! :)
Nina - Glad to help with the wedding prep! I’m not bad at crafty things and I’ve washed a few dishes in my time ;) Just let me know when.
Oh how did you find out about modcloth? Cause I just showed my mom that and I was like look at all the grey dresses! And she was like I don’t think this is what Alyse wants but I was like I’m pretty sure it is… anyways I liked this dress called the Christine dress (go figure). But it was sold out (also go figure).
I vote yes on the tutorial. Well this is kind of intense but it would be really cool if you did like a picture a day with like 1 sentence about it… or not words at all. Just an idea, ya know it could be of anything.
I hope your tongue is okay
Love Nina
Noël - Great photos!!!!!Love the pigeon and Calvin and Naomi
