This nursery takes geeky decor to a whole new level and beyond. Check it out, those 8-bit characters were actually painted on the walls by the mama herself!

Want more 8-bit goodness? Baby Blooze featured this nursery not too long ago, so if you want to see more photos (wait until you see what they painted above her crib!), hop on over.

…Why, whatever do you mean?!

Thanks to three little cupcakes for submitting this to the Offbeat Mama pool!

Heather admits that her focus has been on weddings, and the bulk of her portfolio is gorgeous wedding pictures, but I think it's clear her eye is not confined to a single genre.

Here are some more of One Love Photo's recent favorites:
