A week off! (sort of)

We all know that I'm a workaholic (I'm trying to get better). But Brent's family was in town this week staying with me so I really tried to work as little as possible. We had SUCH an amazing week, and we got some really great pics.
This day we went to the park. They came from a snow storm in NC, and we were hoping for some warm Florida weather... Didn't really happen. Bet we still went down to the park even though it was 40 below.

Kristy and the kiddos.

We took some pictures for Myah's 1 year shots.  She is so precious.

We went to Disney for Michael's 4th birthday.  I have a ton of pics I would love to post.  They are all on my fb so add on in to see.  Here's one of my favs from the fireworks show.

 

Live Oak for the weekend. "Way down upon the Suwannee River!"

Mom begs me to come home for the weekend here and there, but of course I spend my weekends at weddings and sessions. I was able to move some things around (thanks to one of my awesome brides that was totally cool in letting us push an E-sesh to next weekend...seriously, I have THE best couples!) We took a drive to see how high the river is there, so I had to get a few shots of an old bridge.

Here is B and Alex making faces.  Alex is my nephew.  Some of you may recognize him b/c he spends his summers and holidays over here with me.  My two favorite boys!

Christa and Kyle's Engagement Session - Guana River State Park

Christa and Kyle are so fun. Christa is a nurse, and she had just worked 4 twelve our shifts back to back. She had gotten about 3 hours sleep before this shoot, but she is such a great sport. Kyle is a goof ball and together they are just so cute and fun. We had all heard that "tick tock on the clock, but the party don't stop" song so it was stuck in our heads. So, Kyle would take it away with the "oh, oh oh, oh, oh!" in that high pitched girl singing sound. Oh my gosh, we died laughing at him!

Check out what I did for B!

I took some pictures of Brent surfing when Hurrican Bill came through over the summer.  He made mention that he loved one of the pics and wished he could have a bigger version of it (I think he meant like an 8x10 or so).  I had this 24x36 mat board picture done for him which he LOVED!

Michelle and Derek were married at Queen's Harbour yacht and country club Jacksonville Florida!

So, I'm a little late in posting this.  These two were married Thanksgiving weekend, but I was so slammed...it was hard to post everything.  So here they are...better late than never I say! =)
Michelle is one of my sweetest brides.  All of the staff at QH even commented on what a joy it was to work with her.  It was such a moving day filled with lots of tears of joy and of course lots of love.

For the last dance, the dj cleared the room for them to have a dance all to themself. It was such a magical moment.

If you're debating big sparklers for your exit...DON'T DO IT! LOL 

Alchohol and sparklers never mix well.

Also, a special thanks goes out to my friends at

InMotionVideoProductions.com

They are so fun to work with.  If you're looking for a videographer, definitely check them out.

Beaches ELEVEN22 Band Recording - Jacksonville Beach Florida

How about a guest book album of your engagement session?

Out with the old, in with the new...

These photo guest books are so fun. Your guests get to see your engagement photos (which they love! I hear their feedback at every wedding!) AND they get to leave you little notes. It's a great, little book to leave on your coffee table even long after the wedding is over.

Ultimate Bridal Fantasy Show was a HUGE HIT!!!

Yesterday could not have been more fun and exciting.  Hopefully by now, you've slightly recovered from the bridal buzz and overwhelming nature of a a bridal show.  Thanks to everyone that stopped in our booth.  We loved meeting all of you and had such a great time!  I have a ton of pics on my facebook.  Add me!

Don't do bootcamp! One of my friends is way cooler...and better at getting you into shape!

Here's a pic of her I snapped when we were out one day.  She picked up Jax's Running Mag, and there she was on the cover!   Can't get better than that...
