A little pretty packaging I did for a few gifts I made for my friend.  She's visiting next weekend from Austin.  I always leave something special for our house guests.  Just a small thank you for spending time with us.

Junghwa by Amy Stewart

Not enough hours in the day...

I have been so busy!  Busy is good but there are just not enough hours in the day for me to get everything done! 

{ n e w . w e b s i t e }

I have my own website now!!  Very exciting... junghwabyamystewart.com

Its only a splash page at the moment but I just wrapped up my first official photo shoot last week, so when I get those photographs back I should have a little more website to share. 

Behind-the-scenes at the shoot.  Just a little sneak peek at what's to come. 

I took this photo of my favorite style from the shoot. 

So excited to see the official photos!!

I'll post more information about the shoot in a few weeks when I get the photographs back from my photographer.  There's lots to share!  But a quick thank you to my amazing photographer Jenn, model Lavenda, makeup & hair stylist Madeline, and my sister Myra.  I felt very fortunate to be around such talent!

This had nothing to do with my shoot but I couldn't resist snapping a few shots of

Gavin while the lighting was so perfect...

So, other news... I just got my new Canon Lens 50mm 1.4 and its awesome!  Definitely worth the investment.  I think it adds a depth to my photographs that I just couldn't get with my stock lens.  I'm very happy with it.  I just got it this morning so I haven't had much time to play around with it but here are two photos I think show how much fun you can have with it. 

Incase you're wondering, Gavin is 14 months now.  They grow so fast don't they?  I just love him so much!!!!  I hope you all have been doing well.  I hope to find more time to keep up new posts.  I miss everyone!

I love him...

WildPeace Organics Review & GIVEAWAY!!!

I have had the pleasure of working with Ying of WildPeace Organics and when I saw this herringbone wool clutch I just had to have it!  Ying very generously offered me one for a review and I absolutely love it.  It is so well crafted and designed.  Her attention to detail is truly obvious.  I am really excited to start using it this fall & winter.  I'm planning on pairing it with some cognac leather boots, skinny jeans, and a cozy sweater.  I just adore wool this time of year... don't you?! 

She also makes an indigo stripe clutch that I think is just darling and perfect for spring & summer.  I think it would be cute with a breezy top, linen pants and brown leather sandals.  Never too early to think about summer!!

gavin being so good and patient holding the clutch so mommy could photograph it.

From the artist herself...Ying...
"I'm a full time teacher by day, and WildPeace Organics is my inspiration, my craft, and my therapy. For me, it's really a state of mind where I can create for the pure pleasure of it. And I'm so thrilled that the Etsy community has responded so positively to my work. I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband Kyle (also a teacher and furniture builder/ ceramics artist)."

Infusion on Etsy. Good find.

I found this fantastically wonderful seller by chance on Etsy. Infusion.  I just love how she mixes materials like wool and leather.  Just my style.  I love mixing different materials.  It adds a little something special I think... don't you?  I requested a custom size so that I could use it as a clutch instead of a pencil pouch.  So excited to get it!!

Also loving these bags as well.  They would be so perfect for a weekend trip or carry on.  I just love everything in Abby's shop.  Clean, simple, excellent.

I love my family

We had a family session last month when Gavin was 9 months.  The weather here is unpredictable so our shoot was rescheduled several times.  Finally, on the last day we could shoot... the clouds parted and the sun came out.  Jenn of Out Came the Sun Photography did an amazing job.  We love how they turned out.  Here are a few shots from the day...
