A couple weekends ago, a few of us got together to do a photo shoot for some of the lovely cards and handkerchiefs Allie designed and has for sale at
AllieRuth.
What could be any more fun than a bunch of friends getting together on a Saturday morning for a fun photo shoot? There's not much, especially when there are polka dot scarves, lace shorts, high heels, pretty yellow dresses and makeovers involved.
Misti Fraser was our lovely photographer and she was awesome! We not only loved her as a photographer, but we also fell in love with her beautiful house. It provided the perfect setting for an Allieruth photo shoot!
If you are looking for a local Evansville area photographer, we definitely recommend Misti. Checkout her Facebook page here.
Oh, and did I mention the freaking adorable props? This cozy arrangement looked like the perfect place to ask someone special to be a part of your big day!
Shonna and I were the lucky models for the day. Shonna acted as the bride asking me to be her Matron of Honor using one of the AllieRuth cards or handkerchiefs. It was fun, but also a lot of work. Modeling is definitely not as easy as it looks!
You would think April would be warm enough to do a spring theme...but somehow we ended up having the photo shoot when it was pretty cold out!
In spite of the chattering teeth, goosebumps and red noses, we still had a blast with lots of laughs and great memories.

Now, I'm sure you are just as excited as I was to see how the photos turned out, so here's a sneak peek at what will be up on the
AllieRuth website soon...
One of the laughs from the day was that we weren't really drinking coffee! We realized at the last minute that the empty cups were kind of tacky so we had to use whatever we could find.
Diet coke it is!
Such a mean trick, especially when it's cold outside and you would love some hot coffee!
Shonna and I didn't know each other real well when we started the photo shoot, but after a few hours of looking into each other's eyes, smiling at each other, endless laughing, handing the card back and forth, and sharing a coat to warm up, we became pretty good friends!
I smiled at this card so much, I think we may have started a relationship!
But seriously, wouldn't you LOVE receiving a card like that, or better yet being the one to give it?
As we've mentioned in previous posts, there is so much going on at AllieRuth and we are excited to share some big news with you soon. Meanwhile, checkout the new AllieRuth team!

Of course there's more, but what fun would it be if we let you see everything? Now you have something to look forward to! Stay tuned to the AllieRuth website to see the new updates!
