The 20 Something Society

I know you guys are wondering where that last post disappeared to.  You know, the one with all the beautiful new babies?  My new boss told me it was alright to post those and then she decided it wasn’t such a great idea so I took them down, sorry.  But if you’re interested in learning more about what I’m doing you can go to the website – Bella Baby Photography .  Since I can’t post a me for Bella Baby photo I’ll just post a me for Jacquelyn Jackson Photography baby photo!

We planted many peppers in our little garden bed this year.  Jalapenos, sweet banana peppers, hot banana peppers, cayenne peppers, and bell peppers.  We have so many that we can’t eat them all right now!  We, and when I say we I mean The Husband, have been spending the day pickeling them!  I can’t really tell you the steps…because I didn’t do it.  But it smells bad, involves sterilizing mason jars, boiling water, a big pot, some jar tongs, and mustard seed.

Panini here I come!

Yeah you know me!

Between editing pictures and….editing pictures, I have been putting together a new pricing guide for clients…..I thought I’d share the cover with you guys.  Just a little peek.

I am not usually a Hibiscus fan, but when I saw this one today I thought it was the loveliest shades of light pink and deep red, and the not quite all the way open round shape is so pretty…

We went on a little trip this past weekend.  We (Jacquelyn Jackson Photography) had a wedding to shoot in Gulf Shores, Alabama.  We left friday so we could be there for the rehearsal.  I prefer to be there just so I can be extra prepared on the wedding day.  My mom and step dad live in Gulf Shores so we didn’t have to pay for a hotel or condo – we just stayed with them!  Klaus loves to stay with them so he can play with their dog, Bailey.  The car ride there didn’t seem too bad.  When we go on road trips we have this little deal.  We listen to my music half the trip and for the other half we listen to podcasts of Lex and Terrys radio morning show.  We used to get them in our hometown, but they aren’t in our current town so The Husband downloads all of their shows and listens to them.  They are hysterical and the only morning radio show I would ever listen to.

And yes people, there was oil on the beaches and you could smell it in the air.  It smelled like someone was burning tires.  Here is my mom trying to “catch” oil.

I stole these pictures from a friend of mine who was also staying in Gulf Shores this past weekend.

Due to the oil and rain the on the beach wedding ended up having to be moved to an indoor plan B venue.  I so wanted to shoot some white sand!

In between editing pictures from our last wedding and getting ready for this weekends wedding we HAD to get some good eats in right?

For lunch?   DOCS!  Its where the locals go…so much better than some touristy place.

My favorite thing on the menu?  Fried stuffed crab, grilled shrimp, and hushpuppies of course!

On to the wedding…

And after the wedding?  Late night pizza dinner from Papa Roccos!  My uncle D used to work there many a moon ago.

Alas, the trip/visit was over.  We were on our way back home.  We did make a stop to pick up the sister in law.  Shes going to stay with us for a couple of weeks.  The Husband starts is prelims today for entry into the PHD program, so he was studying the whole weekend..and even the car ride home.  He was glad his sister was there in the car to go over flash cards with him – she knows the math jargon.  Me…not so much.

And that concludes our broadcast this morning.

Hi-Fi Weddings is putting together a wedding fair!  WOOT.

Here are a couple of Alec Vanderboom favorites just for good measure.

So, one photoblog that I follow is Alec Vanderboom photographys.  His is one of my favorites!  He posted about a skateboarder named Cameron recently and I found it to be quite interesting.  Cameron boards, which is stinkin hard!  Believe me I had a board when I was younger and couldn’t stay on the dang thing.  I guess that might have something to do with what the wii fit told me….that my balance is horrible and I rest all of my weight on my heels.  I dont know.

Anyway, Cameron caught my attention because he is also blind.  Alec Vanderboom posted “Although he doesn’t really need the cane while skateboarding, he more so uses it to notify the folks around him that he is in fact blind. Before skating an area he’s not familiar with, Cameron will map out the environment with his mind and then skate it by memory.”

Here are some of his images:

Whats up dudes? I am about to go to bed but I wanted to share one thing with you guys first. We are offering a new product over at Jacquelyn Jackson Photography.  And I got one for myself!  I love it and I’m excited about it and it is a customized iPhone case.

I used this image of the husband, pup, and I….

And it turned out like this. …..Awesomesauce.

I can show off/have the boys with me at all times.

More from my newest obsession.  I love this one which was posted by @iampeter.

Magical.  Its like fish in the sea.

And one from me.
