The Olsons: Part I
Kinfolk DInner: Chicago
For those of you who dont know who Kinfolk is, look here. I love their magazine and so should you.
Kinfolk hosts beautiful small gatherings all over the world. I am excited and honored to be shooting their Chicago dinner. Not only is it exciting for me to be shooting a Kinfolk dinner, but I get to do it with one of my Birch House counter parts, and dearest friends, Megan Daas.
The menu looks amazing, and there are so many amazing vendors involved. I also saw the space a few weeks back, and it is nothing short of perfect. I cant wait.
You can buy tickets, see the list of vendors, and preview the menu here.
And a Happy Birthday Shout out to Emily Davis! I still look up to you as much as I did when we were 8. Can't wait to have you here. Less then two weeks

More about our Birch House project coming soon!
On my mind.
1: Kinfolk Dinner // You can still get your Kinfolk Dinner tickets at Kinfolkmag.com
2: This Weekend // My Best Friend since 3rd grade gets in town tonight.
3: Christmas in Utah // We are coming to Utah for Christmas break! If you want to book a session, just send me a message. I will have the exact days I am available up shortly. Roughly the 22-Jan 3 with the exceptions of Holidays.
4: Offset printing // Learning a lot, and loving it. Getting ready for Birch House has been pretty exciting. If you know any good tips for offset printing- tell me.
5: Walls by Mur // Some of mine and Blake's friends started Walls by Mur, and Kristi (one of Blake's very best friends) designed them. Its funny because Blake mentioned that I should do triangles on the wall like Kristi does. Then they launched Walls by Mur and I am hooked! I cant wait to get mine. Because I dont have to go through the hassle of trying to paint perfect lines, they are removable adhesive. Genius.
6: My Husband // He is so busy with school. Law school can be pretty rough. The other day someone asked me if I was one of "Northwestern's Law Widows". I probably am. But with an amazing husband like Blake, I get time with him. He is so good about having dinner every night with me. And we try to go to bed together every night (This often means me waiting up pretty late for him or going to bed really early so he can get up ridiculously early). But its totally working for us. I am so grateful for him.
7: Annie // Sometimes I am surprised how pretty Annie is. We get compliments on what a pretty dog she is all the time. Why am I surprised? Because Blake and I would have taken home the mangiest mutt at the shelter and some how, we took home this very, very, pretty pup.
The wind comes tearing apart
a split second, I am convinced that its nice. But only for 1/10 of a second. Then we run inside.
Sparklers feel like summer. I posted this to help generate that feeling if even for 1/10 of a second.
A few more days until halloween, so here is another Dead Man's Bones song. Its beautiful.
