Whirlwind and Relaxation

Photobucket


Well, this is my busy season. I am enjoying every minute of all of my wonderful clients. I feel so blessed to be doing what I really love and feel passionate about. So, the above pic represents the month of November for me. A total whirlwind. I am tired, but I love it! I've been feeling a little like good old Brutus below. I think my bags have been that big too.....

Hubs insisted we take a break. I reluctantly agreed and moved some things around and we made it happen. And oh, I am soooo glad we did. So, I am now relaxing here until Saturday and enjoying the most beautiful fall foliage you have every seen. (Chanticleer Inn)



So, I have limited internet this week. I will return messages, just slower than normal! I'll come back refreshed and full of creativity to finish out the month!

Life 'Round Here....

Saturday around our home totally rocked. We hit up Country Pumpkins, we haven't had time to go yet. If you aren't familiar with Country Pumpkins, it's only the best pumpkin patch in the state and it happens to be 5 miles from my front door. Oh yes, over spendage on pumpkins every year! Oh yeah, if you are curious about this adorable T-shirt, go over and check out Darby and Honey Bee Tees (click here).
**side note: the t's are excellent quality. Little man is in a 4T and I bought a 6. It should last all season if I don't dry it.

Then we hit up Bloomers (click here for site), the best nursery in these parts. Love, love, love me some Bloomers. 5 miles yet again from our hizouse...more overspendage. Mrs. Debbie and Mrs. Gloria know more about plants than wikapedia!

GiGi went with us! She corralled the little man and oversaw his master plan for picking mama "all the pwetty flowers" he saw...thankfully Mrs. Debbie knows us well enough not to enforce the "you break it you buy it" philosophy!

Then we hit the road home...oh what a beautimous road it is this time of year!

Lovely

This is just a sneak peek of this lovely couple. There are many more to come. I enjoyed meeting Mr. and Mrs. R today. They've been married 3 years and the way that they look at each other, you would think it was 3 weeks! Enjoyed getting to know them. I remember that stage, married before kids. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade my kiddo for anything, but I do remember when every Friday night was date night...so guys, enjoy it. Every stage of marriage is a season and every season gets better....

Super Kiddos!

I had a ball photographing these two. This photo shoot was so great. A friend from high school, that now lives in Birmingham, booked a session a while back. When setting a place, she said her grandparents lived down the road from us. When we moved last year I eyed a beautiful white farmhouse near us. Everyday I drive by it and think, wow, I would love to shoot there! Coincidence, it was her grandparents home. So, I had a ball, and it was a day for making memories that will last a lifetime! What a small world...

Fast and Furious!

We had fun this afternoon outrunning the RAIN! Yes it rained on us and I didn't even care. I actually wanted to dance out in it, but I was afraid my camera would get too wet. I hope fall is on its way  now, it sure is cooler and did we ever need that rain! These two cuties and I had so much fun with their mama. I have know them for a very long time and love photographing them! They are just growing up too fast though, an epidemic around our house too! This is just a sneak, so many more cute ones. It's amazing how quick you can snap with a thunderstorm looming over you..

Sweet Family

Christmas card shoots started this past week. I love them, it's twenty minutes of fun. I love them so much for families with toddlers because twenty minutes is their prime time. This is such a sweet family ! We finally got to meet face to face. I enjoyed them very much. We only spent thirty or so minutes together, but they are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. Thanks guys!

Turbo X 2 Part 2

Here are my other favorites from this family. So adorable. I think one of the most fun parts about my job is repeat families, it's like watching them grow up!

New Hope High School Senior 2010

Miss B was such a fun senior to shoot! Seniors are so full of life and hope for a future to come. I love to hear their  plans and aspirations for the future. Being a mom now, seniors make me a tad sad too. I know it means somebody's baby is leaving them for the big world. I love Miss B and her mama....I saw a few tears being shed out of the corner of my eye and I totally sympathized with them. I think they should be tears of pride though, for raising a beautiful young lady with a light that shines for the Lord. I hope I should be so proud one day! Good job Mrs. M and Mr. B!

Turbo X 2

These boys are so much fun! This is my second time to photograph this beautiful family! I love boys, I guess it's because I know what to expect...as my little man would say, "turbo mama". That's right, little boys have one speed and it's turbo! I love it though because I can do turbo. Give me tons of pink ruffles and I can do that too, but I have to admit, I'm a little lost. So here is my fav from today. So glad you guys made time to see me on your visit. Especially so I could snap these adorable faces!

Flying High

Ok, one more post of our beautiful week. I promise I will be back to posting client pics next week. I took a much needed vacation from shooting others this month and only shot us....In case you've noticed, I've re-worked my blog a bit. You will see it all here, our life, as well as my clients shoots. I hope it gives you some insight to the type of photographer I am...one that shoots real life all the time!  You will never hear my little one's names around here, just little man. We keep some stuff under wraps since this is a public site. Thanks for visiting and I hope you fly high this week!
