This weekend we eloped; we being the whole entire family of me, Jordan, the kids, and the two fur kids. Our elopement was marked by flip-flops, sandy hair, shaggy sweaters, and two overly excited dogs. The Atlantic Ocean was our music and the menu was salt water and jelly fish.
Read MoreTis a family past time of our to venture to the nether regions of the county to go to a small all-American town by the name of Belmont. In that small little town is a Main Street where there is a park, a coffee shop, a bakery, a general store and the Belmont Soda Fountain. The floors are pristine hardwoods with original hardware unique to the original drugstore that formerly took residence. The Belmont Soda Fountain is family owned and passes that same atmosphere onto it's local and faithful clientele. Recently, I had the opportunity to host one of my engagement shoots at this store. True to nature, they worked with me to accommodate the needs of my client letting us enter the store 30 minutes early and even making an amazing Belmont Soda Fountain Banana Split as a great prop for the experience.
I am sincerely thankful for the work that I do and the opportunity to work with creativity and business that foster creativity.
As many of you know, I am a huge supporter of buy local and support local. These businesses rely on vendors like us to make them reach far beyond their community.
It's a beautiful thing.

“I’m dying to tell someone about my trip!”
I wish I could say that as I was responsible for all the wonderful travels that grace the pages of Blue Arden photo. Unfortunately, I am not. However, I am blessed to have friends who travel the world who share their adventures with me and continue to inspire me. In the next few months, I will be visiting June to catch up on much needed friend time. Until then, she continues to send me appetizing pictures of her musings and misadventures (to entice me to move my ticket date up more).
Who is June?
June is my dearest (xoxo) friend I met while on one of many journeys around the US in my quest to learn everything about everything. June just so happens to be my artistic kindred spirit who is, too, in search of something great worth learning on this amazing Earth. She just so happens to be my one and only and first travel correspondent for Blue Arden ;)
Why Prague?
Why not?
What is there to see in Prague?
Lots and lots of frothy golden brew, the astronomical face clock (refer below to June pics), the art movement (contemporary art movement worth screaming for), medieval warrens and saints (actors dressed up as so of course), and much more. June, went to a symphony, museum, and toured one of the oldest cities in Europe!
This past weekend, June went to the beautiful and historic city of Prague (grrrr..shaking in my boots with jealousy). Follow her journey through these awesome pictures:
