This weekend I woke up super early for a saturday morning and went on a downtown walking tour of my new community, Fullerton. Alongside some of my best friends, we learned how the Amerige Brothers found this beautiful city amongst wild mustard fields in 1887 and began developing it in 1904. If you want to…

My mum is British and all my family on my mum’s side lives in England. And yes, I call my mom “mum.” It’s what British people do. And I also call my grandmother “nan” and my grandfather “grand dad.” I have been blessed to travel to jolly ole England many times, so many, I have…

“That which we elect to surround ourselves with becomes the museum of our soul and the archives of our experiences,” said by Thomas Jefferson. I found this quote somewhere on Apartment Therapy one day as I was perusing their fabulous website and it totally motivated me for the theme John and I are doing for…

I think you should add color!

Crap, I’m no help in this one. I love all the photos, thus want you to use ALL of them somehow on the wall. 🙂 I think if I had to pick, I’d pick the top photo arrangement though. And then somehow work in that rad colorful bus shot. 🙂

I personally like the blue/brown combo 🙂

I like the color approach
-
I like the top one best. The one with all the orange somehow bothers my eyes…its like it doesn’t mesh with the rest.
You know the best thing? If you don’t like it you can always change it again. Bored? Move the furniture around and change the pictures….LOL -
They both have a very different feel. On one hand I really like the calming feeling that the blues and browns have, and on the other the color that the warm tones gives really makes it pop. I think that if you want more of an impact, go with the colorful approach. While both are beautiful I think you’d have more people saying “WOW!” when they walk in your home.

Color! Color! Color!
But I would still put less on the wall and not go so low on the wall. -
I like the first arrangement! By the way, your house looks GORGEOUS!
-
Though the blue theme is more visually unified it’s bound to be taken over by sky and water shots. Careful arrangement will make the color approach work and make it easier to incorporate more images as you continue to travel!
1. If you won the lottery, how would you spend it? If I won the lottery right now, I would pay off my house and decorate the heck out it. My favorite furniture store is Room & Board, so I would rent a U-haul and load that puppy up with beautiful mid-century inspired furniture. I…

Love you Amber! I have to say, that you have won other things. Remember The WPPI Road Trip? Pictage? Ring any bells?
When we moved all our stuff from our little apartment into our new home I was given the opportunity to reminisce as I sorted through closets and old stuff. At the back of the closet and under a bunch of stuff was my high school yearbook, which I hadn’t opened in years. It made a…

Oh Amber, you are so beautiful! We all have our own crazy senior portrait story. I need to tell mine, because it was hilarious!!! Thanks for the idea.
-
oh. my. gosh. how. cute. were. you!
and still are! -
Holy crap girl. This is the perfect example of how DIFFERENT those photos are!! Your photos are stunning! 🙂
-
Wow such lovely photos! B&W will never stop being classic. I wish I had done something like that (class of 2001!). But it’s funny that the one my parents still have up is the “casual” look too. 🙂
-
the senior pix of you are beautiful! I was on yearbook staff my senior year of high school, so I have TONS of pix of me from all of our senior events, but no real “fun portraits” like this. such fun and all the more reason to celebrate unique senior photos! 🙂
-
This is probably the best story about why to hire a GOOD photographer to take your senior portraits that I have ever read.
And, yes, they do look good.
-
This is such a great post! My mom refused to let me wear what I wanted too, and she made me dye my hair a different color red just for the pictures.
-
These are so cute! You look so cute!
-
Aaaaahhhhhhhh! Awesome! Great testimonial too!
-
So seriously cute Amber! 🙂

I love it! Our city is magnifique!
