Vendor Spotlight: Petal Pusher Moves Downtown



I cannot say enough for the creativity and talent that Nichole and her staff at Petal Pusher bring to the area with their unique arrangements, bouquets, and talent for building on the ideas of others.  Being a downtowner myself, I was more than thrilled to hear that Petal Pusher would be moving to the Broadway district!  Nichole, Joplin (the cute shop kitty pictured above) and staff are settled in with full decor, a new walk-in cooler, intimate consultation area, and extensive retail that will make you want to pamper yourself and others. (Thinking about mother’s day? How about homemade salsa, aromatherapy bath salts, or home accents?  Oh yeah, and flowers!)

Nichole was the florist we worked with for our own wedding and she made it a wonderful experience with her knowledge and attention to detail.  We recommend Petal Pusher to anyone, and we are looking forward to the weddings we share this summer!  Stop in at their new space to shop around, or just give Joplin a little love - he will be waiting in the window. ;)

Waiting for Baby Hazel: Danielle’s Maternity Session



Outdoor maternity sessions have such a relaxed, natural quality to them. They are the perfect way to document the special time waiting for baby. We traveled out to Merrill, Wisconsin for Danielle’s maternity session where I got the opportunity to help her select outfits and accessories as we prepared for the afternoon session.  It was a gorgeous spring day (even with 18 inches of snow to contend with) and we had beautiful, bright light for our downtown locations.

Baby Hazel is expected memorial day weekend, which is an incredible blessing with both Danielle and Reggie being teachers.  They will have a whole wonderful summer to spend just the three of them creating their own little family, and starting summer traditions to build on in the years to come.  Congratulations to you both; I can’t wait to meet baby Hazel!
