Tag, Your it!

Well before I can post the rest of Synda & Alex's portraits seems I've been tagged by my two photographer friends Jill Higgins and Amy Martin . From what I've been told I have to tell at least eight things you may not know about me and then tag other bloggers to do the same.

#8 I love chocolate
But really who doesn't and if you don't why not?

#7 I wanted to be a jockey
I went to college as a pre-vet student. I worked and lived on a horse farm while there. I loved horses and still do, even though one broke my foot last year. I thought I wanted to be smart and heal animals but found out having a good time was just way more fun than studying. Now I'm happy just living here on our farm watching the cows graze and my doggies chase the Fed Ex man.

#6 Film
I love old cameras. And I still like to shoot film on occasion

#5 Stormy Weather
When a storm is a comin your more likely to find me sitting on my front porch watching the lighting. But only after I have safely unplugged every electrical thing in my house.

#4 Gotta Brusha Brusha Brusha!
In college my dentist told me to stop brushing my teeth. So I can get a little obsessive with brushing my teeth. I love to brush and have at times brushed them over eight times a day. But I wouldn't exactly call that over board. :)

#3 I'm a salty dog at heart
In other words I really love the ocean and the especially the salt marshes of SC and GA. Some of my happiest memories are of me and Todd cruising the marsh in our Key West boat headed to our favorite "shrimping hole". And yes we actually cast a huge net and catch enough shrimp for supper even though some times it might be a shrimp cocktail.

#2 I'm a twin
I have a twin sister. We don't look that much a like but it still amazes us that people get us confused.

#1 Canoeing in little blue
My husband and I love to canoe so as a surprise last year he bought us a blue canoe. Blue is my favorite color so it was only fitting to do one of my favorite things, canoeing in a blue canoe!

Two new sites!!

Well they are finally here! After lots of promising I've finally got the new wedding and portrait site up and running. Now I still have tons of images to add to them both, but the excitement of getting them live was much to strong. So go check them out, I'd love to hear what you think of them. Hey and keep an eye out on them, as I said I still have lots of pictures to add. By the way have you noticed along with the new sites I've got a new logo. You've probably seen it popping up here on the blog along with the whole new color scheme. I hired a great graphic designer, Lindsay Powell with Stump Powell Design to help me with the whole new look.

Taking care of Tumor

If you saw my post back before Christmas you saw the family portrait of Todd and I with our three boys (our dogs) Chaw, Tumor and Joe.
Well While we were away skiing at Christmas, Tumor some how met up with a vehicle and found they can do damage to little dogs.
So Tumor now has cast on his leg, which he managed to yank off last night. Much to Tumor's dismay, this morning I carted him off first thing to visit Dr. Orr.
Now we're home with a new cast and an unhappy puppy :)

He finally broke my heart so I took the Halo off but he still has the pity part down. I just love the sunny disposition of the smiley faces on his cast.

Cabo San lucas

It has been a long time since my husband and I took a break from work and life in general and just took a vacation. So we took a week off and headed to Cabo San Lucas for a little R&R. While there I got the chance to photograph my awesome brother, Dan and his amazing wife, Denise. We had a blast to walking around the Hacienda Del Mar resort finding little venues to take pictures. Here are just a few of my favorites!
