happily ever after.

this past weekend i got to be a part of one of the most gorgeous weddings i have ever been to. my old roommate and one of my best friends, julia, got married saturday january 15th, to her now husband (AH!), pat. it was a magical weekend filled with love, and i am so happy i got to help the beautiful couple celebrate. below are a few pictures i snapped of the weekend ~ enjoy!

studio drams

studio. to anyone who has been in a studio, or is currently in a studio as a student - god bless.

because it is nearing the end of the semester, our amazingly perceptive teachers picked up on the idea that we were just a wee-bit stressed. so, amanda (my residential instructor), set up a "hit the pinata"- party day!

in the past we have had field-day, too... which was a great way to relieve all of our stress. below are pictures from the both - just to give you a taste of how crazy/wonderful everyone in my studio is, and why i stay.... because without them i would probably have no hair by now.

my other half in studio. don't know what i would do without you!

we have fun and soak it all in when we can.

the BEST studio. ever. period.

"it's your spec book! it's your construction documents! it's the NOLA project!"

"beat that bitch!" - our instructor, peek

find potter. we won :)
