Who knew trashing your dress could be so hot?
So. I am going to give you guys a little teaser because I just can't wait. As you can probably see, its two thirty in the morning, and instead of sleeping I'm sitting here editing photos from Melissa and Rachel's trash the dress session. I seriously cannot describe to you all how much fun I had, and I know the girls had fun too! They are both gorgeous and did such a great job modeling for me! I hope you former brides out there feel inspired to book your own trash-the-dress session!

Trash the Dress
I have so much fun stuff coming up for you guys this week!
This morning I photographed my friend from high school, Melissa and her sister in law Rachel. First of all, I can't believe it's been six years since high school... time flies. Second of all, I had SO MUCH FUN! They showed up at my apartment at eight this morning, changed into their wedding dresses, and we headed out all over the place to do their session. Can I just say that I think that the Trash the Dress sessions have possibly become my favorite? I got some great images, and they were such great models... so I can't wait to post the photos.
I will hopefully have them up sometime in the next week because I think you guys will like them as much as I do. I really encourage all your former brides out there, if you have your dress just hanging around in the closet and want to get one last hurrah out of them, drop me a line and book your own Trash the Dress session. It really is a blast, and you get a couple of hours of just you and your dress that you probably could not fit in on your wedding day. Not only that, but I bet you were worried about getting it dirty!
Soooooo. I will try to post those soon, I'm just super excited about them because I had such a great time! Thanks Melissa and Rachel! You guys were fabulous models. Your husbands are going to be stunned at how gorgeous you look!

peace, love, and lots of silly costumes
ok. I'm going backwards here. I should be posting pictures from my two vacations, but I'm not. Out with conventionality (or you could also say, in with procrastination!)... I'm going to post the last group of photos I have taken!
You have all seen Alex on here before. She is my amazingly photogenic wonderful friend, and she just turned 17! Alex never really got a sweet 16 party, so her mom and I decided to throw her a totally cool 17th birthday party. The theme (because I think that a theme is an easy and fun way to make any party great) was the 1960's and the hippie era. Everyone was told to come dressed up like hippies, mods, beatniks, whatever floated their boats. And it was a blast! Of course, how could I resist the urge to snap some great black-mail shots... I mean party shots!? I've got some here for you. Maybe I will post more later.
the other adorable girl in these photos is Alex's friend JoJo! I think we should all dress like hippies again

itunes
Its been toooo long. Sorry folks! =)
A lot has been going on in my life, some awesome, some not-so-awesome, some unsure... I'll tell you about the awesome stuff. I don't have any photos to post, but I will soon!
Nick, my husband has a new cd out. I wrote about that earlier this month. Well... drumroll please! You can buy his album now on itunes! Just search for Nick Siegel, and click on his album "We Make Our Beds in the Sea". It is really a phenomenal album. He is so incredibly creative and talented, AND I sing on the album with him! So an added bonus for you all, and yet another reason to go buy it!
So yeah! I've been off camping this last week, I'll have some photographs to show of it later. Also, my husband and I are going to Door County Wisconsin in a couple of days for our one year wedding anniversary! I'm totally looking forward to that because I hear that Door County is a beautiful place. So don't dismay, there will be pictures soon, just be patient! =)
Have a lovely day!

Nick Siegel's new musical masterpiece....
Hey there lovely people! I just wanted to announce something awesome.
My husband Nick has a new cd out called "We Make Our Beds in the Sea." He has just released it and it is so good (of course I am not even remotely biased, either! really, I'm not!). If you like piano-rock, Sufjan Stevens, indie music, and the like, you will love Nick's stuff. The music should be released on itunes the first week of August, so check on that soon.
www.nicksiegelmusic.com is under construction, but in the mean time you can check him out on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nick-Siegel/16277858321 and you can find him on myspace.
So, support my handsome hubby and buy a cd! if you would like a hard copy, you can feel free to leave me a comment with your email and I will let you know how to get your hands on one, they are only $12.
Well.... that's all for now, I will keep you updated about Nick's music as new and amazing things happen!

Babies Babies Babies
I just had to say Congratulations! to my brother and sister in law who just found out that baby number 2 is a girl!
I can't tell you all how excited I am to have a second niece. When they had my first niece, Adeia, they were in New Mexico so I didn't get to see her until she was four months old when they came back to Chicago for my wedding. I am so excited to be able to be there from day one with this new little princess!
So Congratulations Refe & Susan! Nick and I couldn't be happier for you.
*******interesting side note- Refe is my younger brother. The only boy out of five children. We'll see how far they carry on the "Tuma Tradition" of lots and lots of girls!
And, just so you know what kind of cuteness awaits this world, here is a picture of the new baby's big sister Addie
