ellie & carlotta || a vlog

5.25.2012

Over the past few days, I was blessed enough to be able to start calling Ellie my friend in real life. We met last year through our blogs and this week she swung by my house for a two day visit. I cannot tell you how amazing it is to meet close friends made through the internet for the first time. It's indescribable. Unfortunately, Ellie had to head back home yesterday morning, but we had the best of times together, involving adventures downtown, long chats, walking along the river at sunset, lots of laughs and looots of photos. I can't wait to share more from her stay! And Ellie...hurry back soon. We already miss you!

Both Ellie and I have received a multiple requests for a vlog over the past few weeks. Today would normally be the May edition of everyday moments, but we thought we'd do a special video edition instead--because two is better than one, right? We'll be talking a little bit about branding yourself, your business, and your photography...enjoy!

(and let's just ignore my awkardness and focus on ellie's cuteness, okay?)



Be sure to stop by Ellie's blog as well to view her special everyday moments post!
