At last year’s Get Hitched, Give Hope Brandie bid on–and won!–a nail party with manis and pedis for her and her mom and bridesmaids at Julep Nail Parlor downtown. It was so much fun. And it wasn’t just a fun afternoon with the girls–it was one that felt great, because the money spent on the day all went to the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation.


There was champagne and pampering and general fun…


And some awesome bright toe colors…

Just a few days later I had a blast photographing Brandie’s wedding…you can see how much fun she is…

Brandie treated me to a pedi–how sweet! That’s me with the orange toes…

What a great way to have fun…all while giving back. Thanks to Julep for the incredibly generous donation and thanks to Brandie, for helping us raise $30,000 last year!
