Friends are important.

We surround ourselves with people who inspire and motivate us. You know the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child?" Well, we feel like this site is our baby and all of our friends have helped us along the way. Here are a few friends we want to thank. Be sure to check them out; these are the ladies to know.

Photographer extraordinaire with projects ranging from creating corporate photo libraries, to documenting a newborn’s first moments at home, to photographing the intricacies of sausage making. Her wedding work has been featured in the Oregon Bride Magazine, BridalHood and on Wedding Chicks. (We think Lisa is our Lila doll.)

Becki Singer, Shopping's My Cardio

Editor of a shopping blog that you can’t miss. Becki’s finds range from stylish wardrobe essentials to covet, to hot tips on home design, the latest in beauty products, art we think is amazing, and books you just have to read. (She’s a Bree doll, to be sure!)

Kirsten Nieman, Restored Style

Have you ever wondered how to tackle all those house projects that you’ve seen on HGTV or pinned on Pinterest? Well Kirsten is the girl who not only tackles it but also breaks it down and tells us how we too can do it ourselves – with confidence! Kirsten’s blog, Restored Style, is the ultimate home décor and design online resource. She features DIY home renovation projects, vibrant paint colors and fabrics, brilliantly restored furniture, fun house items, great deals, transformed spaces and inspiration for all design styles.

Melissa Tomeoni, Soul Mates Photo

Melissa is an uber creative photographer that has a keen eye for capturing some of life’s most outstanding moments.
