DIY | Mulled Spice Favors

Looking for a fun and festive Fall or holiday favor that is sure to make your loved ones smile? Mulled Spice bags are such a creative yet simple favor, anyone can make them! These little bags of Fall goodness smell like heaven and are the yummiest flavor punch you can imagine. Stick one of these bags into a pot of apple cider and I guarantee everyone will want seconds (or thirds!).

Now, here's what you'll need:
- cheese cloth
- scissors
- tags
- twine/jute
- oranges
- spices
- stamps + ink

Ingredients:

- whole cloves

- dried orange peels

- whole allspice

- cinnamon sticks

When filling the pouches I used approximately 5 to 6 small pieces of orange peel, 5 cloves, 5 allspice seeds and 1.5 cinnamon sticks. Feel free to add other ingredients or fill yours to the amount you desire.

And. . .  here's my "Shauna's Secret Apple Cider Spice Pouch." Isn't it darling? I have an upcoming photography event with "apples + apple cider" as the theme so I think these are the perfect favor for the occasion.  I stamped the apple and SVP on my tags but the possibilities are endless with ways you can decorate these little cuties. I can also see these being an adorable personalized touch for your guests at Thanksgiving. Wouldn't they look great on the plates so everyone knows where to sit? I can't wait to see what you guys do with yours! Please do share. :)

Matt + Amanda | Vintage Picnic Engagement Session

After months of dreaming about it, we finally made Matt + Amanda's "vintage picnic" engagement shoot come to life. As you will see, Matt and Amanda have a very unique look: Matt with his thick black beard and Amanda with her adorable frames and auburn hair. When thinking about their engagement session I knew we had to so something a little different. 

When dreaming up the session I knew I wanted to capture them going on an adventure. I love a session that tells a story. I envisioned them traveling to their picnic in the late evening and playfully flirting into the night. If you know Matt and Amanda, you know that their session had to be fun! 

Unlike most of my work, I wanted this session to reflect a darker more vintage feel. After securing an old truck (thanks Georgia!) the rest was a breeze. I love this session so very much and am honored I was able to photograph two of our very favorite people as they celebrate their love.

Now, take a journey with them down this dusty dirt road...

Adam + Amber | Atlanta Braves Turner Field Engagement

When Adam asked Amber to marry him at a Braves home game at Turner Field the answer was YES! 

I just can't tell you guys how excited I was when Amber told me that she and Adam had reserved the Altanta Braves' stadium for their actual engagement session. I'm certain I squealed like a little girl. Not only is my family HUGE Braves fans but Turner Field is so dynamic and unique as a photo backdrop I knew we would get some really neat shots. Apparently, the stadium only allows a hand full of people to do this and the reservations have to be made several months in advance. Because my beautiful clients are creative and out-of-the-box planners we got to do something a little different. Not only did I get to take my shoes off and run across the field like a 12 year old but I also got to capture some truly amazing moments of Adam and Amber as they celebrate this special season of their lives. 

Adam + Amber : Thank you for such a fun session. This one gets a check on my "Photography Bucket List" and for that I am grateful. You guys are AWESOME. 

And for a couple fun shots from behind the scenes :)
