David Jay and Allie

Those of you who know me personally, know that I just love this guy and his girlfriend Allie. He's been on a 28 city Free To Succeed tour around the U.S. with Adobe and Couture Book, and his own company SHOWIT, traveling on this incredible tour bus! After the show, they invited me to have dinner and hang out with them on the bus. It was great to visit with him and Allie and meet the rest of the crew.

Good Luck to the MacKenzie Family

All the best to the MacKenzie Family as they get settled into their new jobs and home in California. Here's a few quick photos we did the night before they started their journey across the country. Unfortunately, their moving company(with all their belongings) decided not to make the same trip...

Best Friends

Finally the rain has stopped and we were able to get back to school and get on with things. Kim and I took the girls over to the Baughman Center and Lake Alice for a little photo session. We wanted to take some pictures out by the lake, but as soon as we walked over, we spotted an alligator very close to land so we turned ourselves right around.

Linda Holloway

October 19, 1944 - July 25, 2008

I remember the first time I met Linda. Our friends Bobby and Paula had just brought home their newborn, and Ron and I went over to say hello and welcome the new baby. Linda was the proud new grandmother …and oh was she proud. I'm trying to think how best describes Linda, and the word CHIHUAHUA comes to mind; small, FEISTY, loyal, protective of her own, did I say FEISTY yet? :) I absolutely loved being around her and her family. She and her husband Raymond perfected the ever-so-normal husband and wife kidding and friendly bickering with each other. They were hilarious! And I can't think of a better time I've ever had than the time we all played the board games Scategories and Taboo together many years ago. Oh My Gosh!! I can't even tell you how hard I laughed...(and those of you who know me, know what this means). As you can see from the pictures below, there was always a lot of laughter.

Linda and her husband Raymond lived in the town of Sneads their entire lives. She and her best friend Barbara "ran the town" from city hall for over 30 years. They lived very close to each other, worked together, retired together, and sadly passed away within just a couple of months of each other.

Linda, we will miss you. Thank you for always treating my family like a part of yours.

Linda's friend and fellow church member, Melissa Craven, sang this song so beautifully at Linda's funeral service.

A special day...July 22, 1987

There's something a little special about the first baby born into a family. I remember driving 100 miles round trip sometimes on my day off just to see her...even if I only had a few minutes to stay. And even though I didn't give birth to her, I feel like she belongs to me. She's a very special girl. Happy Birthday Lynsey. I love you dearly!

HAPPY MONDAY!

Happy Birthday Steve

Ron and I met Steve 25 years ago while working at Publix during our college years. Years later, he and his wife Kim bought the house directly across the street from ours and she and I quickly became friends. Our daughters, born just a few months apart, strengthened our friendship even further. They were and still are inseparable. In June 2004, Steve was diagnosed with a form of ALS-Lou Gehrig's Disease. His health rapidly declined and he passed away last March. Steve was the nicest, most generous person I have ever met. His smile was automatic... something he passed on to his daughter. We miss him terribly. Today would have been his 49th birthday. We love you Steve...Go Gators!!

This little baby is coming my way!!!

For those of you who couldn't care less about photography equipment, this blog post will mean nothing to you. But for me...OMG, you have no idea!!! I am SO excited to be getting this. One of my clients (who is NOW MY BEST FRIEND!!) is giving me this lense. I've been drooling over it for some time now and just found out today that I'm getting it.

Brittany and Kyle

These two are HILARIOUS!!
