trick or treat, give me something good to eat!

We don’t know about you, but we love Halloween!!! It’s fun to be creative and dress up, gorge in endless amounts of sweets and to be scared out of your wits (sometimes). 😛 Not only is Halloween fun but it also marks the string of anticipated holidays to come.
We love seeing all the different ideas that make the holidays a little more unique than they already are! Flipping through magazines and surfing the web, we were enthused to incorporate the things that inspired us into a few of our own Halloween displays for our trick-or-treaters to come!
R.I.P. rice krispie treats, “BOO” brownies, deadly drinks and more…

Freedom and Fashion
Most of the time we’re unaware of the affect our actions and decisions have on others, much less, others who may be thousands of miles away. As Americans, we become especially absorbed in the capitalistic, consumerist mentality of society. We barely ever stop to think about how what we purchase and where we spend our money directly affects the people involved in the production of these goods.
The reason we bring this up: On November 6, 2010, Freedom and Fashion will be having its 2nd Annual Fair-Trade Fashion Show, in Irvine, CA. Their mission:
“Freedom and Fashion is dedicated to educating society about the global social issues of modern-day slavery, sex trafficking, child labor, and human rights violations. FnF addresses these injustices through the purchasing power of conscious consumerism, by increasing the demand for socially responsible and ethically produced goods and ensuring they are readily available to consumers.”
“At the core of Freedom and Fashion’s values is God’s love. We believe in the call to action — to love the poor, the needy, and helpless, as exemplified in His word. At our events, we want to create an atmosphere that empowers guests to act, not out of hatred, but out of an understanding that power in the wrong hands can produce injustice. We want all attendees to become educated about their own purchasing power and how it can be used to make a statement beyond just fashion.”

One-Year Anniversary~!
Eddie and I had a Day After Shoot as part of our wedding photography package, which we never took because of our busy schedules. So, our Day After ended up becoming a one-year anniversary shoot instead (well, more like a one year and 6 months shoot)!!! 😛
Eddie and I met Mark and Candice at their home in Ladera Ranch where we finally got to meet baby Wyatt (soooo sweet) and see their new studio (sooooo cute)!
This is our third time getting our photos taken by Mark, so we felt pretty comfortable. It also helped that Christine and Erica joined us for the photo shoot to help me with outfit changes as well as providing a relaxed environment.
It took some tummy sucking to fit back into my wedding dress!
We took these photos in a field right behind Mark and Candice’s house!
Eddie is so cute! 🙂
Thanks to Christine and Erica for being my creative geniuses this day!!!
All the hairpieces (and Eddie’s matching boutonniere) made by our very own Christine {LOVEFORGRACE}
We ran out of lighting, so we took the rest of our shoot in Mark and Candice’s very own living room!
When Eddie and I got married, we decided not to get our TV set-up for at least one year…. this way, we wouldn’t always veg in front of the tube. 😛 Instead, we made a NY’s resolution to read at least one book a month. We brought along some of the books we’ve read and some of our all-time favorite books for the shoot! **For those that are wondering… we finally got cable TV installed about two months ago! Haha!
Thank you for the unconditional love, everlasting support and constant encouragement.
I love you, Eddie.
<3, Janet
