Last week I had the pleasure of attending a one year anniversary party for AroundMainLine! While I was there my mouth started watering as I stumbled across Maryellen’s dessert table! Maryellen is an exquisite baker and chocolatier that works out of West Chester! The best part about her yummy business (besides the tasty treats) is that they hand deliver anything you order whether it’s a dozen of mini cupcakes or an extravagant wedding cake (find her here)! Oh, geez you have been warned: you’re about to start salivating!





Tehehe.. that last one was my little goodie bag that I took home to mama
They were soooo good. Seriously!! Check her out, she’s so awesome.
Always,
Vida

So right now as I’m typing this I should be writing an English paper and studying for a Psychology test but in the midst of my manic Monday I had to take a moment a write this thought down. I *loooove* my job as a photographer. I loooove being around gorgeous, happy, loving couples and sharing in part of their new journey together. I loooove their smiley faces on their wedding day and I absolutely love their love. I hope that you all have something that you love as much as I love being a photographer.. it’s truly a gift from God to be able to do something you love so much.

Have a lovely Monday and an incredible week! And do me a favor… don’t work too hard, okay?
Always,
VIda

I realize that the last time I posted a blog was forreverrrr ago and I apologize about that! Eek but things have been busy over here! Lots of portrait sessions, college classes, my new beau and just enjoying life so please forgive me
I’ll have a bunch of new things posted on the blog in the next week or so but for now I’ll leave you with one of my recent sessions.
World, meet Katie Reim! Find her here – no seriously! Go go go! She is an awesome Etsian and I can’t wait to use her hair pieces for an upcoming shoot


That would be the lovely Philadelphia in the background
Geez, I love my city! So beautiful.

Rewind back to Tuesday evening.. before I had this wicked cold. I met up with Sarah Lockard fromĀ Around Main Line (awesome Philadelphia online magazine!) and Krista Peel (amazing Etsian) for dinner and drinks at Memphis Taproom. AML is going to be doing a feature of local Etsians in the Philadelphia area and Krista is one of them! Krista’s jewelry is handmade with semi-precious stones like gemstones, crystals, glass, ceramic etc. Seriously, check her out!! They’re to die for. I had so much fun chit chatting with these ladies – not to mention our yummy snacks! Sarah and Krista shared Memphis Taproom’s famous fried dill and I had de. lic. ious. hummus! Mmm
I can’t wait to see you girlies again!
