The BFF
Friday, August 06, 2010 | Main

Okay blog readers, I will be employed again soon. I know you might like to see photos of something other than my precious little boy (although I can't imagine why) ha.
Hang in there - I have a few portrait sessions scheduled for late August, and then I'll be heading to some warm and fabulous locations in September and October to photograph a couple of weddings.
In the meantime...here is a pic of my BFF and me.
Okay, so the picture is a couple of years old, but we were looking pretty cute, right? Ha - kidding. Sort of. :) What can I say? I just don't get really dressed up much anymore.
Anyway...I miss my BFF now that I have moved and it looks like I will have to do something drastic to get together with her. We had a fun trip to NYC all planned (complete with a checklist of CRAZY things to do while there), but my sweet little surprise (a.k.a. baby Cole) put that trip on the back burner for a while.
Well as I was reading some Jen Lancaster on my Kindle while Cole was napping on my belly earlier, I decided to check out Jen's blog. Well guess what I found? A contest for BFFs! I love contests for BFFs, and we recently had one ourselves over at Peach and Love - for two BFFs to win a trip to St. Simons Island.
This is my desperate attempt to get another entry into the contest. My new hometown is NOT the most exciting place in the planet so you can't really blame me can you?
Head on over to Stacey Ballis' blog and pick up a copy of her new book: GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT. The book sounds great, PLUS it has a terrific cover. :)

***Personal photos below. If you are here to see portfolio work, please choose from the categories option above.*****
July has flown by - and what a crazy, hectic month it has been. Cole "lived" in six places during his first eleven weeks. Of course he seemed totally cool with it. As long as he gets his bottle, a little play time, and some sleep he is good to go.
We started off the month by going to Charleston to photograph Anissa and Bill's wedding. While we were there Cole finally got to meet his friend-to-be Sanden. They hit the beach for a little play time in the sand. This picture of Brian trying to wrangle them together for a shot makes me laugh.
Cole's DeeDee came to visit so he was extra spoiled for a while. Believe it or not, he really does like to have books read to him. She is reading The Rainbow Fish to him - I sure hope Neal Boortz doesn't stop by my blog. ha
Brian had to go to San Antonio for work for two weeks, so Cole and I tagged along with him. I'm not sure why our trips always seem to revolve around food. :) I guess we watch too much Food Network. We had to go to Big Lou's (as seen on Man Vs. Food) for some pizza, and I am happy to report that it was delish. Because we were not successful on our first trip, we learned that the secret to getting in is arriving EARLY (4:15 pm early).
Of course we had to visit the Alamo while in town.
I had a little play time with Cole modeling one of his cute onesies and hats that we purchased from the Folly Island booth when we were at the gift mart last year.
Cole may look cute and sweet, but he has a tough side too. ha
Cole hanging out with his daddy who was "home" for a lunch break...
A few of Cole's favorite things he has enjoyed during his second month...
-bathtime
-Black & White book - LOVES it.
-loves his touch and feel books
-gotta have the paci
-the only rattle that he really likes - we call it the caterpillar
-toddler jukebox app
-sitting in my lap while I read to him
-touching his feet now that he has a little control over his hands
-his bottle, of course!
That's it for now. It will probably be a few weeks before I post again. We moved into our new house in South Carolina, and it is a WRECK. I have a million things to unpack and organize. Of course I also want to be free to spend time with sweet baby Cole when I'm not getting the house together. So...it will probably be late August before I do more photo sessions. The next wedding on the books will be in the Bahamas in September.

Texas

I am in Texas for two weeks - relaxing and having a little vacation after a busy move. We are staying in San Antonio, and I am mostly enjoying doing nothing - which is something I NEVER do.
I did venture out to Austin one day and hit up South Congress Street for a little bit of shopping and lunch. We went to Fredericksburg one day - GREAT town - I would love to go back. And last but not least, we stopped by Luckenback, TX (sp?). You can't exactly be within driving distance and not stop by just to say you've been there, right?

Anissa and Bill: Charleston, SC
|
|
In case you are not familiar with them, The Cottages on Charleston Harbor are quaint and cozy, yet spacious. Their full complement of services and amenities include a personal concierge and pre-arrival grocery shopping. The waterfront location on historic Patriots is made even more spectacular with the view of Fort Sumter and downtown Charleston across the harbor.
Anissa and Bill had a sweet, intimate wedding in front of their cottage with just a small handful of friends and family.
Doesn't this make you want to spend some time on this front porch with a warm, salty breeze and harbor view?
A few details...
The cottage has a library of books by local authors, so I grabbed one of the books for a ring shot.
Anissa and Bill wanted to do photos together before the ceremony. This photo shows Anissa peeking around the corner as she came out of her room to see Bill.
They had lots of delicious treats around the cottage. Who can resist strawberry starbursts?
Their new family Bible...
We went outside for some photos of the beautiful couple. It was a super sunny day, so thankfully we had some nice shade to work with for photos.
Can you believe Anissa told me she is not photogenic? Yeah, right! :) She looks fabulous, huh?
Down the front porch steps to the ceremony site...
Here comes the bride...
Their minister did a great job!
Anissa's sister and her husband watch...
So funny...Bill's ring was a little tight! :)
The ceremony ended with a sweet prayer, and I loved this shot that shows their friend praying for them.
It was so great to meet you Anissa and Bill. Your ceremony was perfect. :)
