All right, Mrs. Hazel, I’m ready for my closeup…

For those of you who don’t already know of Jordana Hazel, please run, don’t walk , to her website, Hazelnut Photography.  She is one of those people that you can’t help but just puffy heart, because she is hilarious, positive, and just real…..she just makes all those around her giddy and happy.  More importantly, she is ridiculously talented!!  She just gets behind the camera and is able to find the pretty in everything and everyone, and you can just tell that this girl was born to shoot. 

So, when it came down to choosing someone to help me with some headshots for my upcoming website relaunch, it wasn’t even a question…….I immediately dialed up my friend Jordana.    There is nothing better than getting to spend a few hours with someone so fun, and getting stuff done!!

Here are a couple of her shots of me, that I think are just….awesome.  Awesome to the 10th power.

 

 

And, although I think I look a little nutso when I laugh…….this shot is proof of why I love Jordy.  She cracks me up THIS much…..and I have to say, I don’t hand out a guffaw like this very easily:

 

Please visit her blog for more of the shots we captured that day, along with more of her captivating work!

Paper Source’s complimentary wedding event/workshop is BACK and scheduled for Saturday, February 21 at all of their locations!!  I went to this  event last year at South Coast Plaza and had alot of fun, I highly recommend stopping by your local Paper Source and getting some wedding stationary inspiration!!

 

The schedule of events for the workshop is as follows:

11:30 am – Announcing the Big Day
12:45 pm – Inspired Invitations
2:00 pm – Tasteful Tabletop Décor

 You can also fill out this raffle ticket and bring it with you to the event to be included in their raffle!  No need to RSVP, just show up and enjoy!

 

Also, for those Marthas at heart, they have a smaller, more intensive workshop (class is limited to 15 people) where they will assist you in creating some samples of invites, favors, escort cards, etc.  The March 5 workshops have sold out at most Southern California locations (except Beverly Hills and Thousand Oaks), but they still have March 19 workshops available!  Click here to register for this $35 workshop….the $35 is worth it for the champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries alone!!
