Five things.

whew! i haven't done a five things post in such a long time! so i think it's time again. my first favorite lately are these fabulous Christmas cards from WHCC! 

i wanted to do something a little softer and cute this year, so a fun cut and texture! click on the first picture to see the art linen paper i chose. i did the design after i did one similar for a friend! that's right.. i took a design i liked from.. myself. The best part is brandon really liked them too. i call that a win. 

i love using this company for almost everything! these are a little more costly, but your choice of a fun cut, paper, and super fast delivery. i had to try it this year for cards. i ordered more two days ago, and they just got here!

my birthday was november 15,  i asked for a lovely Kelly Moore bag this year! i have a great equipment bag that is usually my carry on, but i wanted something to fit ipad, laptop and extra stuff i can have with me below the airplane seat. this bag was perfect! i think i'm done with camera bags... shoot sac. pelican case. backpack and now this beauty. yes. i'm in love.  The Kelly Moore Libby bag

if you're good at stalking me, you might know that i'm not usually a hot coffee drinker, although i'm trying! my new keurig is amazing and used everyday! hot chocolate or otherwise. i do admit, a friend showed me these starbucks packets, and make for a yummy cold coffee. and easy! caramel is the best, and the best part.. there are only 6 packets in each, but i can use one packet three or four days. target. walmart. thank you.

okay so while working from home, my whole life has become coffee related. i feel so grown up. and suddenly.. so much more unhealthy. unhealthy, with more energy! my mom recently visited and showed me this creamer to add to coffee. i've been putting just my rice dream in mine, never bought creamer. and now, i'm hooked. so if you're looking for something new.. try this! it adds to hot chocolate too. drooool. almond joy international delight.

the last is a small gift idea. so last year, i couldn't help but buy plane cufflinks for brandon. and this year, i found these fantastic cufflinks made from a football IN a steelers game. i actually saw baseball ones first, and i think they're way cuter but the steelers fan he is, i went with these! you can find any from a team your man likes, and some official document that says it's real. either way, they're cool. Etsy!

 CRAZY AWESOME NEWS. December 2nd is the one year anniversary of this blog. anything you want to hear, see, learn about or have me ramble about? i'm pretty good at rambling... 

Happy holidays! 

Covered bridge, zumbrota with the warren family!

This family is truly some of the most important and favorite people in my life. From high school, when Jordan and i started to become great friends, Liv and i played sports together and Harriet was one of my teachers, and even got to put a basketball medal around me :) when i was sick, they always showed me love and now more than ever i consider them my family. 

i can't believe how blessed i am to have them all in my life. (i won't cry.. i won't cry..) when i go back to Minnesota, i stay with them. We get to catch up and i get to feel family love (mine are all so far away!) i know they'll always be there. now, enough about my sappy story. 

They let me photograph them on a chilly 30 degree day with freezing cold winds! it didn't stop us, and as you can tell, we still had a little bit of fun! i assure you, we did actually get more cute smiling ones but i had to share a few laughing. 

one of my favorite brother/sister duos. they never have fun together. they don't have any inside jokes, and they definitely don't like one another. i hope you're catching my sarcasm. 

i wanted the last photo to show Jeff and Harriet and after almost 27 years of marriage, they're still absolutely crazy about one another. And here's an insider!- Every year Harriet still tries on her wedding dress on their anniversary. i LOVE that.

i dearly love them and appreciate everything they've done for me. and yes, i'll be staying with them again in May. i've already called the couch (my favorite over the bed) and basically the whole basement as mine! I hope you all have great families that you can always depend on, and if you have a story about it, i'd love to listen! email me! 

Las Vegas Peeps!- still maybe thinking of a gorgeous valentines gift or late Christmas present!? sign up for a boudoir session, he's bound to love! check it out here!

Blog anniversary!

Happy sunday! I hope you all are having a wonderful December so far, which seems like it came way too fast! Today marks the 1st anniversary of Davista Photography blog. eeek! 

this past year has been full of emotion to say the least with my new website; whether i was secretly (or not so secretly) crying to figure out how to run this site or screeching with joy when i first got followers! i want to continue to share my journey with you all.

yesterday's post i asked what you would like to see more of. One request was more things about me! so now all of you will have suffer :) and be stuck reading about my life as a photographer. wife. cook. and mama of two puppies even more. if you want to request some topics too! feel free, leave a comment below.  

i would like to give a shout out to my husband. i wouldn't have found Squarespace without him. thanks to his nerdy TWIT (this week in tech) shows.

WHCC Press Printed Album

i'm so excited to share the album i created for my mom! These are such fabulous gifts as an engagement, family, or wedding book! 

This one we chose is fully customizable, padded cover, flat pages, and absolutely gorgeous. There is another option that comes with some of the photo packages that is a book; which is a hard cover book with normal photo pages that bend, but still beautiful!

If you're still looking for birthday, christmas, or valentines gifts these albums are ones that will last, show off your images and something to finally have in print for that coffee table to show off! Most people now prefer DVDs, but so many don't print from them, so having a book is always a great way to have them around your home. 

I also saw this idea every year to make a new album for your home, showing off trips, special occasions and all things your family! i decided it's a must for our house. as soon as i catch up on these orders :) 

if you're interested in having me create one, just ask and we'll get started!
