GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . can hardly contain the excitement of decorating for the holidays, and every year, a new colour theme -- seafoam & silver, champagne & gold and everything all aglow, or the frostiest shades of blue mixed with shimmery shades of tinsel. . . and this year, of course, smokey lavender & the palest gold . . .

{p.s.} happy december!

hello! + happy monday . . . not certain where november has gone, but tomorrow is december and things are already beginning to feel festive around here -- a new week, a new month and so many wonderful things to look forward to, but soon and most of all, amidst the swirling snow and prettily wrapped packages, time to spend with those we love most . . .

wishing you a beautiful start to the week,
