I have to take a minute today to spread some holiday cheer about my friend and new favorite photographer, Chelsea Green.

Our family spent a fun and relaxing hour or two with Chelsea during our photo session last month, resulting in some amazing shots and a ton of great memories!  We met up at the Heritage Farmstead in Plano – just off of 15th and Custer.  It was the PERFECT place for a rustic, festive photo shoot (and was less than 15 minutes from our front door!)

Check out our Christmas card and some of our favorite shots from the session:

Interested in booking Chelsea for your next family photo shoot?  If you’re lucky enough to live in the Dallas area, she just may be your new favorite photographer, too.  Check out her website and shoot her an email.  I know she would love to hear from you.

Also, read the blog post I wrote about Chelsea recently on the Dallas Advocate blog as part of my “How It’s Done” series.  Chelsea does a great job of balancing working from home, caring for her sweet family and mentoring local high school girls through Young Life Richardson.

Merry Christmas from the Pollard Family!  Thanks again, Chelsea!

Here’s some sweet inspiration for you as we enter Valentine’s week!

Last fall, a friend and I met a terrific pair of up and coming designers at the Etsy Dallas craft show.  Alyssa Krismer and Joslyn Krismer  not only have a great story (they are former college-roommates, turned sisters-in-law – now married to twins!)  They are also the co-creators and co-owners of  Jane Joss a new Texas-based creative crafting company that is home to the Sweet Leaves™line of fabric plants, now available on Chalkydoodles.com.

Joslyn and Alyssa have a refreshingly-different eye for design, and have created a line of home decor that is unique, natural and sustainable – Sweet Leaves™ fabric plants.  Perfect for those of us with less than a green thumb, Sweet Leaves™ look great season after season and never require the proper amount of sunlight or watering! 

Made from a wide selection of designer and vintage fabrics in tons of different shapes and sizes, these creations by Jane Joss are the perfect addition to any decor.  From potted plants to adorn your kitchen window sill to dainty branches perfect for your home or office, you’re certain to find an empty corner that would make the perfect home for these sweet creations.

Sweet Leaves™ also make the perfect, everlasting Valentine’s Day gift!  Give them today, enjoy them for years to come!
