As a follow up to the last post….after I find myself feeling that I can be doing more (and still hope to do more), I edit a photograph like this and can’t help but hear voices saying “This is my favorite picture of my grandparents.” I know that the work I do is important to my clients, and it is fulfilling to know that when they are old and grey, they will look back to these photographs and smile thinking about their younger days.
This is what location scouting looks like:
An upcoming June session will be photographed here.
Just a couple of shots I took of the pretty going on in our fruit bowl. I thought it looked bright and warm.
My sister-in-law is staying at our place this weekend, so tonight we decided to light up the fire pit and roast some hot dogs and then smores for dessert. This is one of my absolute favorite things to do, Todd got me the fire pit for my birthday last year. I don’t care what hot dogs are made out of, they are one of my personal comfort junk foods. Growing up one of my uncles called me ‘Hot Dog’ as a nickname because that is all I ever wanted to eat. We had fun, sister-in-law had NEVER ROASTED A HOT DOG over an open flame before. I was like…what? She can say that no longer.
And here I am with the goofiest hobo hair ever. I’ll blame it on the wind blowing.
Klaus chilling at his Aunties feet, and then saying “UGH” because the smoke monster was coming for him.
Two of my favorites came up from the hometown to keep me company this weekend – Jenny and Maria! Well, really mostly Saturday! They arrived late Friday and left Sunday. So we jam packed our Saturday.
Went shopping and heard from Maria that we “weren’t making her very happy right now..”
We ate some yummy food including Marias first calamari!
Got in plenty of cuddle time with Klaus.
I took some mother/daughter portraits. We were supposed to do some during Christmas when we down but the weather was icky. So when we figured out they were coming up for a visit we wanted to take them then, and sure enough the weather was icky again! I wasnt goign to let that hold us back again – I picked a location that would work with rain and we went out and had some fun. I can’t wait to really dig into their images.
Watched scary movies and ate popcorn with chocolate for dinner.
No, Maria would not care for Fargo. It is out because I was watching it before they arrived Friday night!
After watching the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake I think Maria was little scared because she asked to watch a funny movie. After doing some Amazon Prime browsing we settled on dancing around to the Footloose remake.
Good times.
Here is a shot I took of the hometown…on a map. I thought it was pretty. We have this huge map of Alabama framed and hanging in our living room.
Our next home trip at this time is Moms in May. Beach time!
I think I’m ready for the change in seasons now.
I’ve been editing all afternoon/evening. I don’t get a weekend haha.
So, mainly I love to shoot weddings, and outdoors. BUT, if I had the chance to have THIS as my own personal studio, I think I might just die on the spot. This is PERFECTION for a natural light studio.
Wide open floor plan, beautifully worn floors, white walls AND ceiling, windows upon windows upon windows…..Need I go on?
I snapped these while location scouting recently. its kind of like a secret spot too I LOVE this area.
