Maternity Shoot:: Sugar Photography.

My dear friend Jen, of Sugar Photography, graciously did a little maternity shoot before she moved from Tallahassee to Ft. Collins.
I kept wanting to cancel it, because in pregnancy I am doing my best to avoid all photos. I was thinking of excuses like:

"Tony can't be here", which she replied, "that's okay, we don't need him here."
or
"Oh, well um, I have a lot of appointments at work this week", which she shot down and said "Well pick a day I can come."

She saw right through my insecurities and said very wise words, like:
One day you will want to have these photos and you will be glad you have them.
You are only going to get bigger in this pregnancy.
Your next pregnancy you will look at these and say, look at how small I was.

So we hung out for our final time in Tallahassee, and she snapped away. She was right, I am so happy I did these. Now I just need little Reid to arrive...5 weeks to go!

Par-tay!

From the moment I received my invite, I knew this birthday party was going to be full of style. My friend's daughter turned one and we celebrated with art + origami projects and a delicious brunch.

Canine Image Enhancement.

In my opinion, dogs are the best props for a photo shoot. It adds another focal point and gives personality to a picture.

I am wondering what to do this year for Christmas cards. Last year we used Buster all strung up with lights...

Special!

Do you realize Christmas is a mere 51 days away?

Does that statement stress you out a little bit?

Did you want to get your loved ones all dolled up for a family photo shoot? Or maybe you don't want to be in front of the camera but you sure want to show off your kids (or pets). I'll make that simple for you and help you get your act together by introducing you to Sugar Photography.

The creative force behind Sugar Photography is Jennifer Little and she is making family photos so easy this year by offering a quick, painless photo session on November 20 in the downtown chain of parks (in Tallahassee).

Book quickly, spots are filling up fast.

Frolic!

Images like this makes me want to spend all extra time outdoors.

Beauty Captured.

I stumbled upon a wonderful photographer, William Waldron. It looks like he's Elle Decor's go to man for the job. Here are some images from his dazzling portfolio.

Check it out.

Some of you already know Rebekah Hood, the brilliant force behind Kallima Photograhy. To any potential brides or families looking to make an investment in your family photos, I could not give her a bigger thumbs up. She's amazing and you will be delighted.

Well, she has another blog: imaradmom. A mommy blog full of her inspiration, photos, thoughts, interviews and just life. I had the pleasure of joining her series of rad mom interviews. Obviously I am not a mom, it's more of a woman-to-woman interview. If you live under a rock and have not seen her professional work before, check it out here and read the interview here.

Thanks for having me Rebekah!

Here's one she shot of our family last year.

Monday, Monday.

I had a busy weekend. Tony and I were invited to attend the TPC at Sawgrass. Who knew golf could be so exhausting? I've always wanted to attend a golf tournament and I'm glad we had the opportunity this weekend. (thanks Wilsons!)

It was so hot and they run a tight ship at the TPC. No cameras, no phones and no large purses. The only way I can prove we attended is my extreme farmers tan. It's not cute.

I hope you have a great start to your week. Here are some of my new favorite images from IS Photography. They give me the itch to travel.

Happy Friday.

This is the most I can muster up.
