Walt Disney World Christmas Trip Preview

January 10, 2013 by Jensey 7 Comments

Oh, December. <3

For the past five years, Nate and I have tried to make a December Walt Disney World trip happen. Each year, either our schedule or budget got in the way, but we ended up celebrating our five year anniversary there. Aside from Nate catching a cold the day before we checked in, everything was absolutely perfect!

Favorite times a million.

A Magic Kingdom trip isn’t complete until we visit my old attractions!

Veronica + Jamison : Downtown Disney Engagement Session

January 8, 2013 by Jensey 4 Comments

I first met and worked with smiley Veronica on my Walt Disney World College Program. Though we often had reverse schedules and never got to become best friends, I did have a lot of friends in common with her and she was a favorite of mine to work with. :) We’ve been able to keep in touch via Facebook and Veronica has been such a supporter of Root Photography since we began! I very rarely squeal aloud when we get an inquiry but Veronica’s definitely warranted one. :)

I knew it was gonna be an easy shoot when the first photo I took of Veronica and Jamie was this one! <3

Veronica’s a total fashionista, and I loooooooved how she styled them for the session.

The Blog Calendar

January 7, 2013 by Jensey 12 Comments

My love of Sarah Pinto planners sprouted from a desperate search for a planner on Amazon. After clicking through what felt like thousands of pages of not-what-I-needed, I spotted a simple green spiral planner with a white elephant on front, and I was in love.

I’ve since been a loyal Sarah Pinto girl and look forward to her release of next year’s designs like a preteen anticipating her first Justin Bieber concert! This year Sarah Pinto didn’t disappoint, and after days of agonizing over which cover I wanted to stare at for the next 365 days, the winner was the 2013 Horseshoe Weekly Planner :

I know a lot of bloggers do this sort of thing with an online calendar, but I’m the same tactile, school-supply loving girl I was when I was 16. I plan out my Monday-Friday blog posts months in advance and highlight the date once my post is scheduled. Of course, there’s tons of erasing and re-writing when I get busy and skip some days, but that’s half the fun.

My favorite thing about Sarah Pinto Weekly Planners is that they’re a blank slate- I love filling up the pages with color using Japanese washi tape I get off Etsy.

While I keep the monthly pages in tact, I cover the weekly pages with paper and washi tape to use throughout the year- Queues for album designs, editing, blogging, and submissions. Just wanted to share how I keep my crazy in order! I’d love to hear what any other bloggers out there find useful. :)
