This past weekend Cooper and I shot a wedding for a really creative couple who added a lot of personal touch to their special day in ways I have never seen before. The highlight: framed centerpieces of the couple with an image of the bride on one side and the groom on the other. Their body positions were similar on both sides so you could “interact” with the frame and put her head on his body and his feet on her body, etc. This certainly takes the cake over the traditional flower arrangements!  Â
The bride creates the most amazingly detailed handcrafted clothes for dolls as seen below. The dolls themselves have so much character, but the clothes she makes take the hobby/collection to another level altogether. Impressive!Â

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
