Last spring we had a full day of amazing mini photo sessions around downtown Tacoma and since then we’ve been asked so many times when we’re going to do them again. I think spring is the perfect time, so I’ve picked out the day and we’re going to shoot from sun up to sun down! We’re hoping for sunny skies, but we aren’t afraid of a little rain, so this event is rain or shine.
Based on the interest I fully expect all of the spaces to sell out, so if you’re interested in being part of the mini session day with us, please contact us as soon as possible.
The Scoop:
When: May 14th, 2011
Where: Downtown Tacoma! We’ll meet at our loft, which is right by UWT and from there will run around together and document your awesome family
The Goods: After our mini session we’ll edit 20-30 of our favorite photographs and post them in an online gallery for you to fall in love with. Shortly after that we’ll meet back at our loft (or you’ll view your photos online) and you get to pick out your favorite image as a beautiful 12×18″ print. You also get 30% off of any other prints + products your heart desires.
Investment: Only $125! ($100 for our amazing past clients)
Why: Because your family is amazing and you want to remember that forever.
Who: Me! Sara! And that cute+hilarious boy, Scott.
How: email me at sara@saramontour.com to let me know that you’re interested. We’ll pick a time that works best for you and you’ll pay your mini session fee, then we’re set!
If you know of someone that might be interested in a mini session of their own, please share this blog post with them or click here to forward our email to them.
Thank you!

I attempted to grow some sweet potato vines from these sweet potatoes but, despite changing the water every day, they completely molded and rotted, so they’re now in the compost bin. I think the problem was just that I started with really old sweet potatoes anyway (which is why I decided to grow them instead of eat them). I’ll try again with fresher ones.
They look good, though, right? My fire escape/future rooftop garden spot is becoming the perfect little photo location.

In Tacoma we had a small closet next to the kitchen that we decided to turn into a little garden. Normal people would’ve chosen to grow lettuces and herbs and things that make sense in an indoor small space. Me? I opted for Mandarin Oranges and Mangos and all other things ridiculous.
It all started with an avocado seed just like the one above that I started a couple days ago. Tropical Plant Growing Attempt: Minneapolis Edition could be right around the corner.

This year has been one of continual change, which I actually don’t mind and in most cases tend to prefer (sometimes to a fault). At the beginning of December I moved into a new apartment and to say it’s been good for me would be a giant understatement. As the world is flying by and all of the other details of my life are a total whirlwind it’s been so helpful for me to be able to walk into my apartment where everything is exactly as I left it, be able to breathe, and find a little bit of sanity and calmness.
Because of that I’ve been excited about making my apartment a reflection of who I am and filling it with things that I adore. With this spring-like weather (that’s pretty much lasted all winter) I’ve been getting excited about doing some urban gardening and have been planning for an awesome rooftop container garden this summer. I started some seeds, which I’ll post more about later, but to fulfill my MUST HAVE MORE PLANTS NOW mood lately I planted some succulents into a container that I was just gifted.
I bought one desert rose, two living rocks, and one “assorted succulent” (the jig is up, Bachman’s… that’s just aloe).




After going a little overboard photographing each plant I finally got to work. I separated the aloe vera into four separate sections and finally settled on an arrangement in the planter.

Loving it! It looks adorable on my window sill and makes me smile ever time I walk in. Mission. Accomplished.
