things that rock my world. lottie-da designs...and a killer giveaway.

Being a small business owner myself, I've become a pretty big fan of promoting small businesses, specifically the business owners themselves - people whom I've met, whose work ethic I've seen, whose character speaks just as loud as their product. Enter Jaymie from LottieDa Designs. Okay, okay, I have a side motivation for being stoked about this small business - Jaymie is my sister in law. Not only have I fallen in love with my new sister (HUGS!!) but I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I first learned that Jaymie made bridal jewelry. Jaymie started LottieDa after she couldn't find anything for her own wedding that fit the style and quality that she was looking for in bridal accessories. I've looked around in my own fair share of bridal shops in the last 10 years and I have yet to see ANYTHING that matches the quality and all-around gorgeousness that LottieDa offers.

I've been singing Jaymie's praises for a while now and have been thinking that I wanted to do something to help more of the world know of her awesomeness. Hence, this blog post about another thing that rocks my world :) PLUS.....Jaymie gave me a pair of earrings to GIVE AWAY!!! In order to enter to win these earrings you need to comment on this blog post! That's it!! I'll be randomly selecting the winner from everyone who comments in early March so go ahead, share and comment!

glam sessions by aeris photography. edmonton glam photographer.

I am beyond excited to now offer glam sessions as part of my services! What's the difference between glam and boudoir? Well, I really really want to offer beautiful photos to every woman and I feel that the term "boudoir" carries with it the "clothes off" implication. Glam can be anything! Whether you want to look soft and sensual, a little more risque (great gift idea for your anniversary ;) ), or simply stunning (a great gift for yourself!)- Glam is for you! Due to the fact that Glam can be sensual in nature I want to put it out there that I understand the importance of discretion. The few images shown in this post are shown with full permission and, at my own discretion, aren't anything I wouldn't feel confident showing my grandparents :) I do have more images available for viewing upon request.

Contact me if you want to go glam!
