mommy + me

So here's a sneak peek from Baby Kate's one year photo shoot.

I was invited to shoot her 1st Birthday Party and I was beyond thrilled when I saw her "birthday suit". Since I am the mother of two boys, I relish any chance I get with a tutu.

I had to get a few shots of Baby Kate and Mommy ~ both beautiful girls!!

More to come...

my palmer

Oh Palmer, what can I say about my Palmer??

He is inquisitive and tender. Such a sweet spirit for a little boy of two years old. He wraps his arms around my neck every morning when he wakes up as if he hasn't seen me in ages. He is calling out for me as I type this at midnight ~ he talks in his sleep like his Daddy.

These pictures were taken on his 2nd birthday at Venice beach. Unlike Peyton, who hates to get dirty, Palmer delights in the feeling of sand between his toes (and in his hair, his belly button and numerous other crevices).

My squishy Palmer, don't ever grow up...

i love him.

Have I ever mentioned that I won the husband lottery??

Seriously, I don't think that I have done anything in my life to deserve such an incredible man. Not only is he an amazing husband, but he is the best father to our boys. He is loving yet firm, but mostly he is a big kid at heart. I love him for that.

He is going under the knife tomorrow and I am reminded just how much he means to me. I couldn't do any of this without his encouragement and support. My boys and I are blessed to have him every day. I love him ~ just sayin'.

*extra, extra*

...read all about it!!


This past weekend I participated in a Trunk Show for 'The Preppy Little Dress'. The Trunk Show was a promotion for Clothes for a Cause. For every dress that is bought, a dress is sent to a deserving little girl in Uganda, Africa. I was so thrilled to be a part of the event ~ and it was a great success!!

As you can see we were lucky enough to have a precious live mannequin on hand...


These clothes really are for a cause, the dresses are donated in the name of the little girl who will be wearing hers here in the states. What I wouldn't give to take some pictures in Uganda when the dresses arrive. Again, I feel so blessed to be a part of this special charity.


Here's a shot of my new display. YAY! I am so excited to finally have a display to use for Bridal Shows and events. My business cards match the displays, some are black and white and some are color. I can never decide which style I like best so I did both! :-)

I think the display does a good job of expressing my style and personality ~ plenty of pink!


My booth in action at the Tallahassee Bride show this past Sunday...


I had an amazing time at the Bridal Show meeting with prospective brides and chatting with other vendors. Wedding season here we come!!

ole miss.

Nothing says southern gentleman like a seersucker suit. Can you tell from the tie selection that these two are UM fans?? Blake and Amber made their way down from Mississippi to renew their vows in Orange Beach, AL. They were blessed with the most amazing sunset ceremony on the white sandy shores of the beach where they first met. Along for the ride was their precious baby boy Blake Adam.

I was in heaven with the beautiful beach and the beautiful children. I love the southern attire that you see on babies and little ones in the south. I swear, people from Alabama know how to do children.

Blake and Amber were so obviously in love it was a pleasure to photograph, but I didn't get many shots where they weren't kissing!

i heart baby boys

Little boys... can't get enough of them. I had the pleasure of doing a mini-session with this cutie. Carson is the youngest in the family and the only boy ~ his big sisters think they have a real live baby doll!

His Mom decorated the nursery in a circus theme and painted the cutest stripes on the wall. Actually, her close friends painted the nursery (myself included) during her "painting shower". What a cute idea for a baby shower 'huh?? Of course we had to get a few shots of the nursery - love it!!

me-yow!

Mabry was doing her best kitty-cat impression at Peyton's 4th birthday and I had to get some pictures. She was so striking with those piercing blue eyes and the brightly colored paint. Thanks to Klown Kapers for the amazing face paint artistry, be sure to call them for your next big event!!
