Lyndsay and Heath

Last night Melissa and I had the pleasure and FUN photographing Lyndsay and Heath's E-Session. We made this a family session for their three handsome boys were present. Such sports were they, never once was there a peep of complaint from these fellas.

I had so much fun for I was truly entertained by Heath's terrific sense of humor! It really is obvious how much he just adores Lyndsay and sees her as his queen! I always love seeing a couple really in love!

This family is just precious! I truly loved this crazy gang (ha ha). They are a blast. I can't wait to do their wedding on April 27th.

We centered their engagement session in Downtown Jacksonville then ended the fun at Friendship Fountain where Heath proposed to Lyndsay with her parents hiding behind trees! Lyndsay was really surprised!

Here are some highlights from their session tonight ..... to see all of their photos click on their names above and type in password: 9168

My Favorite Item I Just Purchased!

Today I visited a very FUN children's boutique called
Sweet Child of Mine. Since I was a big time Guns N Roses fan, ok still am, I had to check out this VERY SWEET boutique. As I walked in besides feeling like I had stepped into wonder land and my heart felt all giddy looking at the beautifully vibrant and exhilarating clothing, jewelry, furniture and more, something magical happened to me. Ok, well at least it felt magical to me. Something called me out and said I am for YOU! Even though there are just a ton of fun stuff to look at (and yes to buy - ha ha), something immediately caught my attention! I had to buy it, it was perfect for how I have been feeling lately. Perfect for being reminded of how important the self is!

Ever doubt yourself? Ever wonder if you are just flat out weird? Ever feel like you are not sure if what you are doing is right or if being YOU is good enough? I think just about every woman (um um, men too!) have felt this before, maybe multiple times.

I love this quote so much that I hung it on my desk to constantly be reminded of how important the "real me" is.



"Behind every successful woman is herself"

I hope this quote encourages you as much as it does me!

Love to you all!

Bowl of America

My in-laws are in town...which means VACATION time for not only them but me too! One of the nice benefits to having visitors is that they make you stop, slow down, and take time for the more fun things in life like - BOWLING! I am not a bowler, but every time I bowl, I always want to play another game. It's fun making that ball swoop down the lane as fast as you can make it go!

So here is something really funny, when we were on our way there Jan, Noel's mother, was talking about how much time has changed things in the way we live and the kind of things we have nowadays. So after walking down memory lane for when our phones were attached to the walls with long cords and the big walkmans verses the tiny i-pods out there, something hilarious happened when we were bowling.

As we sat in Lane 16, the first thing that came out of Jan's mouth was her shock and confusion at the above computer screens tracking the players scores! She asked me in total surprise, "So, we don't write down our on scores? This computer does that for us?" Talk about time going by! I didn't say anything because I didn't know if she was for real at first. Then it occurred to me that it had been THAT long since she last bowled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were laughing so hard at this!

Forgive me for the poor quality of photos, I had to use my point-n-shoot this time! I know, someone slap me over the head.
