MINI COUPLE SESSIONS || Rachel + Garrett

---

This past weekend was my cousin's high school graduation. With that came hours of photos; trying our hardest to get one big ol' family photo where we all have our eyes open. Difficult I tell you! In between the pictures I was apart of, I felt obliged to take advantage of the most beautiful + fragrant lilac bushes + an adorable couple (friends of my cousin) watching from the sidelines. I am wishing I had more time to  take in Rachel + Garrett's sweetness, love + humility. But I feel like this short reel of pictures capture that.

today you were far away

and I didn't ask you why

what could I say

I was far away

you just walked away

and I just watched you

what could I say

how close am I to losing you

tonight you just close your eyes

and I just watch you

slip away

how close am I to losing you

hey, are you awake

yeah I'm right here

well can I ask you about today

how close am I to losing you

JUNE 7TH'S ANTIQUE MALL FINDS

OLYMPUS TRIP 35 - introduced in 1967 and named after its intended use for picture takers and photographers alike who wanted something compact and functional for holidays. this retro 35mm camera is solar powered! that way, you could go on a cross-'Merica road trip and not have to worry about the battery dying on you mid shoot. no way!

turned this battered up peanut butter jar into a planter. also, have you ever thought about planting a cactus? ya, well I didn't either until today... you should try it sometime! ;)

 I plan to flip this 10 pound (legittt) flower holder and utilize it as a picture holder!

thanks strathcona antique mall! you served me well.

much love,

emily

PLANT AND LET GROW

sweet: DUTCH BABIES!

ahhhhh. they're perfect combination of a pancake and a crepe. first time making dutch babies (with Beth) and I can tell you, it won't be my last.
Beth and I used A Beautiful Mess's recipe. go check it out! we chose to use mangos, cinnamon + sugar. next time we wan't to try blueberries and lemon zest. also, I feel like Joy's roasted plums with olive oil, thyme + yogurt would be PRIME. maybe even something savoury! in other words, anything you put on top of this baby will make your taste buds incredibly happy!

annnnd we shamelessly ate it straight out of the cast iron pan.

enjoy! enjoy enjoy enjoy.

much love,

emily
