Our Wedding Planning, Part Two: The Photographer; Photos by Mary, Photographer in Philadelphia Area

If you haven't seen my part one post about wedding planning, the exciting news is, my daughter is getting married! I get to experience wedding planning on a whole new level as Mother of the Bride!!!

 We've gotten the venue squared away for our September 2021 wedding. It's The Washington at Historic Yellow Springs. It's a gorgeous historic venue! Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a garden wedding with a rustic elegant feel. I'm very excited about it!

 Now we have our photographer booked! 

 Since I do bridal makeup professionally, I get to meet many photographers and see lots of different creative styles of photography.

 There is the tradition style with very classic looking photos. There is a dramatic style that has a shadowy moodiness about it. There is a whimsical fairytale style. 

 One of my bride's engagement and wedding photos had a fairytale quality to them. Emily literally looked like a princess in her engagement photo session! Here she is. I had the honor of doing her makeup for her engagement pics as well as on her wedding day.

 Whatever the style, I feel the photos should capture not only the beauty of the wedding day but the deep emotion that goes along with it. For me, the emotion feeling in a photograph is what makes a photograph exceptional.

My daughter wants her wedding photos to have a beautiful, light, bright, airy quality. She doesn't seemed to be worried about the photos capturing emotion. That's all me. She will appreciate seeing the emotion when she looks back on her wedding photos one day, though.
We found Mary Blank, from Photos by Mary!!! She has since branched out into commercial photography and does weddings by referral only. Windborne co


Mary creates the beautiful, light, airy photos that my daughter is looking for and also captures the emotion that I'm looking for, so both of us will be happy! She is a nature lover and has the ability to showcase it beautifully in her photography.

 Mary based in Lancaster, Pa serving the Northeastern United States: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware. She also loves to travel and does destination weddings. Her prices fit right in our budget, too. She is lovely! We looking forward to working with her.

 Here is some of her beautiful work.

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps.  They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out. Read more about blackhead, whiteheads and blind pimples This is a common problem for the under-eye area. It is a dry, delicate area of the skin. I see it a lot on my clients. Heavy products

Dermatofibromas

This post is all about dermatofibromas and some remedies to help make them look better and ways hide them. It includes my Amazon Affiliate Links to help you find the products I talk about. Q. I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j

Dermatofibroma on Leg

A Dermatofibroma is an unsightly brown or red bump that is very common on the legs. They are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas and are more common in women than men. They can hurt, itch and become inflamed easily. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  I have tried lots of home remedies on my dermatofibroma. Some help it look better than others but the ugly thing is still there! Read more about dermatofibroma remedies. There is only one way to remove it for good...surgery. It must be surgically excised out. A dermatofibroma goes deep into the skin. It will only grow back if it is cut off of the skin at surface level. The problem with the removal is it leaves a long scar that is about 2 inches or so long. It has to be done that way to be able to sew the skin back together so it is smooth and not puckery. Here is a picture of a scar from the removal of a dermatofibroma. This scar was also treated with a laser to imp
