It is also considered an invasive plant in the southeast. Wikipedia says its because it chokes out other plants. I say it's because it can  eat your house . Wisteria allowed to grow on houses can cause damage to gutters, downspouts, and similar structures. Wisteria will certainly rend latticework, crush thin wooden posts, and can even strangle large trees. But is sure is beautiful!

One morning in March, I walked around my yard taking lots of photos. And, I'm just now realizing, I never did anything with them. So, if you see a lot of spring photos here on my blog soon, that's why. :) Why, yes, that wisteria is awfully pretty. And yes, there will  be more photos of wisteria to follow. Also, I have a thing for birds. These photos were taken with my 85mm and cropped, but I hope to eventually have a 70-200mm so I can get better close up photos of birds, among other things. Like, you know, brides!

I can't really tell you exactly when I took these photos. All I know is that it was months ago. Maybe at the end of March? My sister came down and looked super cute, so I had to pull her outside for some photos. Also, may I just say that the greenery and wisteria in the background made for some b-e-a-utiful bokeh? Because, wow, it totally did! I wish I had gotten a better full body photo. Read: one that showed off her shoes. The shoes were super duper cute and pretty much made the outfit. In fact, I want those those. Mary, are you getting rid of them? I'll take them off your hands Also, note my little neighbor mowing the lawn in the background.  I also tried out a little off-camera flash work to capture the pretty sunset that we had going on. It was bare bulb, so the lighting is pretty harsh. But it was one of the first times I had played around with OCF, and you get the idea. :) I know I usually give details about the outfit, but I have non...

It's been quite a while since I last sat down and wrote a blog post. Like a *real* blog post. Something more than a few sentences or a few photos. There is so much going on. I've re-written this start of the blog several times because I'm not sure what to write about! Not me. #1: I use a mac. #2: I wish I had that cocktail ring. ;) I just added this photo because I felt like this space really needed it. [ source ] Shoot. I just spend a several minutes blogging and sharing with you all about my new job. Only come to find out that I already told you about it . Let me say something, however, that I didn't say before. God wonderfully and amazingly provided me with this job. When it was decided that I'd start job searching, this was the first one I applied to. And it was the only one I applied to that I thought would be more than just a job but something I might actually enjoy doing. After all, I was applying for the position of social media manager. I us...

I wish I would remember to take SMP photos everyday. I've been wearing some cute outfits, but all I have to share with you is this one from a few weeks ago. Not that I don't like it, I do, but I just have more outfits to share. Unfortunately, I'm often too lazy to drag out the camera, tripod, and flash. Heck, with the above photo, I used camera, tripod, flash, battery pack, pocket wizards, lightstand and umbrella! And really, it all seems like a bit much for an SMP post. Of course, actually did that for myself because I was playing around with off camera lighting. But even without the off camera lighting, it's still a hassle. In addition to the set up, I'm guessing where to focus and hoping I get it right, setting the timer, running over, posing, waiting, running back over to see if I got anything good. Rinse and repeat. Anyway. I really like all of this outfit. Love the pants, the top, the everything. The top is from NY&C and is super comfy ...

Next step in recipe: add two lightly beaten eggs. So, go to fridge and get out--- Wait. Where are the eggs from the CSA? I knew we had at least a few eggs left in the carton. They can't be gone! Ask Mike, who is showering, if he has seen the eggs. No. Look for eggs again. Look at counters, look in freezer (hey, it's possibly I was absent minded), look again in fridge. Ask Mike. Again. Did he use eggs, perhaps in one of his yummy meals? No! Hmmm... Look high and low. Again. No eggs. Check old eggs from the grocery store. Old eggs are, in fact, old. Blech. Ask Mike again. Maybe he remembers what he did with the eggs now? Pulls back shower curtain, looks at me and says, "Are you kidding me?" No. In fact, not kidding. I really need those eggs. Go back to kitchen. Stand at the island. Read the recipe again. Look down next to my bowl. See carton of eggs from the farmers market. I am basically a genius.

I know that I haven't blogged in ages, so here are a few photos I pulled off my Instagram to catch you up with what's being going on in the life of Tiffany. There should be photos of weddings thrown in there, because I've been doing that too! Feel free to head over to my facebook page if you want to see some of my latest photography work. ;) I love watching the pigs, uh, I mean BIRDS, fight over food at our two feeders.  Oh and the distinct lack of humming birds despite the fact that the hummingbird food has been out for MONTHS. I think someone wants some attention? Mike makes the yummiest dinners! I hosted a Noonday Collection party the other week and bought these two pieces. Go to the site and check out their beautiful jewelry AN watch the videos to learn about the women who make the jewelry. It's a pretty cool company! Last Thursday was Bella's turn to come to work with me! She got a pretty new dress just for the event. Unfortunately, ...
