Spring picnic at the apple orchard

A few weeks ago, in celebration of Mother’s Day actually, me and my little love with a friend and her daughter set out for a wonderful picnic outside of the city.

The day was perfect, warm and breezy at the apple orchard. The pink apple blossoms bloomed beautifully in the sunshine and we could not help but snap some photos to capture this ‘mommy-daughter’ fun.

Here’s a sweet overload of the pics my friend took of me and my daughter and too many of me…. I felt so glamourous in that hot lipstick – not my everyday look ~ but wonderful to have in the photos ;)

What I wore : from head to toe ~ thrifted.

What my daughter wore : from head to toe ~ also thrifted.

What can I say, I love the thrift store and feel great about some of my finds. Hope you liked the photos. There will be a follow up to this with a recipe for these delicious Berry Muffins. See you soon. ~ Ella

pure happiness…

Hola amigos! ;)
We had the best weekend >>ever<<! ;)
Saturday ~ Party! Sunday~ Party! FUN!
Here is a scoop of the Cinco de Mayo themed Bridal Shower we went to yesterday…
And yes, there was a photo booth! So much fun!

Pure Happiness…

sweet summer weather in May
fun with friends and sisters and our kids
getting lost on the country roads – no GPS is awesome (sometimes ;))
not crying when seeing amazing cake pops that I couldn’t eat (because they don’t fit my diet) and grabbing sweet juicy fruit instead
a beautiful trip far away from the city
to have lots of tacos, salsa and margaritas
be in the fresh air of a beautiful 80 acres property in the country
good food and great friends
seeing a very happy bride-to-be
loving her awesome maid-of-honour (my sister) (in the photos above! ;))
she helped a lot with the theme of this party and diy’d the photo booth!

Pure Happiness!

keeping warm and comfy with flower pot designs

I was lucky enough to photograph these two adorable little twin babies a little while ago and I just needed to share! I was also lucky enough to incorporate these beautiful knits done by Flower Pot Designs into these cutie-pie shots!

Flora is the designer and creator of Flower Pot Designs, guess what? I was lucky to meet her too ;D I love her knits so much and now is the perfect time of the year to be eyeing something beautiful ;) You much check out her Etsy shop and blog for more beautiful work for babies, kids and ladies also. I especially love this chunky cowl in winter white ~ ooh this is one thing that gets me excited about winter now ;D

 

 

Pure Love Captured is of course my photography site. I don’t mention it here often but I’m a busy business gal with my graphic design and photography business.

I love doing what I do… and how could I not when I have such beautiful little cuties to work with ;) For more of this session see the Pure Love blog.

If you are looking for a photographer for lifestyle portraiture or commercial photography – do give me a shout ;) I would be happy to work something out for you ;) ♥ Ella

happiness is… being five

Happiness is…

Celebrating five!

My girl just turned five over the weekend
we had a special little get together
with all the special ladies in my life
it was an all girls’ fun day
with a trip to the pool
and then followed by a really fun afternoon
filled with laughter, bubbles,
polka dots and bright patterns.

There was cupcake decorating
and Lalaloopsy dressup
and a delicious cutie-pie cake.

Wish making and singing
silly games played by silly girls.
And great conversations, food
and friendship all around.

This year, I kept it sweet and small
with lots of time to relax and enjoy the day.

It’s great being five!
Happy Birthday my Love.

What’s making you happy right now?
