i need an assistant...

who loves me enough to work for free.   

To sum up the past week in one word: exhausting.  

This week we've welcomed 2 cats into our family (needless to say, there has been a lot of meowing and hissing at our house - and the cats have been pretty talkative too), I was asked to submit a company/personal bio for a Women's Commerce group (more info to come) and we started the photo shoot for the product.

I've been learning a lot of lessons on photography along the way too (it's a plus when your photographer also teaches photography on the side). I got to see the unedited images and I'm already in LOVE with them.  So thankful that I get to work along side such a great talent such as Nadia. 

So after this eventful week, my plan is to spend the weekend playing catch-up and I managed to score a pair of Foster the People tickets for Saturday! 

Hope you all have a lovely weekend :)

backstage at the fall shoot

The best part of this journey (so far) has been shoot the story.  You get to be creative, hang out with some amazing individuals and play dress up for the day (well watch models play dress up).  Such a positive & inspiring environment to be in :)

Here are a few photos back stage from our shoot

a photo preview coming very soon

when in doubt, shoot indoors

Last week, langsura had its very first photoshoot (YEY!) and I had the pleasure of working with an AMAZING team of people.  We had originally intended to shoot outdoors, but with the weather being so unpredictable, a last minute decision was made to move it indoors.   

I contacted the Weather Network and asked them how they predict the weather.  

They sent me this picture

{not really}

With a days notice, I scrambled around Queen St. to find props for the set. We decided on a basic autum theme, with a focus on simplicity to highlight the pieces. 

Here are a few props that were picked.

{Thank you Abrahams on Queen St.}

As you can see, I have a slight love for vintage things.  If only I was able to keep it all for myself <3

All in all, we had a VERY successful day and the pictures speak for themselves (I just saw some edited ones yesterday and they are BEAUTIFUL)!! 

thank you, thank you, thank you

{handheart}
 and you don't even know how many times Tomi took this picture

 a HUGE thank you for all the 

comments, emails, texts, messages & 
even those that came up to me at a party (a little tipsy with beer in hand)
to tell me which logo they liked.
that, my friend, is pretty awesome.

 i'm still working on narrowing it down but i will definitely post it once it's finished :)


thank you once again 
xo


p.s. i've been super busy (which explains the lack of posts) prepping for the very first langsura photoshoot - LOTS of pretty pictures coming soon

it's really important to vote... for a logo

Starting your own business does not mean that you do everything yourself.  It means you are confident that you have a strong support system to help you along the way.  

Luckily, I have been blessed with terrific friends & family.  

With that being said, I consider this a collaborative project that I share with you all! 

 I thoroughly appreciate everyone who comes to visit my blog and I LOVE reading your comments.  

Now that I have you all buttered up, I need help!  

I have had the pleasure of working with Joelle at inBloom Studio for all my designing needs for the site.  She has put together some beautiful logos for me to choose from.

 Out of the many options, here are my top 3 picks:

A - feather

B - hang tag

C - fancy pants (haha, what do you call this?)

What is YOUR favourite?  

Leave me a comment on the blog OR post message on Facebook with YOUR pick!
