one more, can you believe she is only ten?

Nice socks, she must get that from me.

Light

One of the most important things to me when i am photographing is the light, sure you can do a bunch of fancy things with Photoshop and people do in my opinion over photoshop and you tend to notice that before the photograph. Film is a great thing because you had to learn how to make a great image without Photoshop making it look better. I look at light all the time, walking down the street, swimming in the pool. It fascinates me what light can do. Here are a few from last night, I could have photographed them all day! THe light was beautiful last night.

Being Thankful

Tonight I am feeling a little sappy and I often like to read zenhabits and he has a recent post about being thankful. I like his blog because it makes lists, it is straight and to the point and talks about all these ideas about living more simple. Anyhow back to my original reason for this post.

I am thankful for Scott and my daughter Alexa, Scott for his thoughtfulness his laugh and him making me feel beautiful everyday. For Alexa for making me slow down a little and reminding me what is really important, success is great, but without the two of them it would be nothing.

I am thankful for Ruby (Scotts grandma) who on our last visit told me how little material things really mean and it is really the memories that matter. Not that I needed much reminding but you know I will go to Atlanta and see something that I must have, and what I saw in Ruby is it really does not matter, these things. , I looked around and there are things in her house that have not moved since my husband was a baby. There are photos with stuff in the same place thirty something years ago, like time froze.

I am thankful for my parents and my brother and my husbands family

I am thankful for being able to do a job I love and remind myself when I get tired or grouchy that I am very lucky.

I am thankful to all of my clients for letting me into their lives and making me feel like a part of their family and I am thankful for all of my employees that believe in my business and smile everyday, ok almost everyday!

This time of year is my busiest, I am always a roller coaster of emotions. I love this time of year because I can set out to be a better person next year, in business and personally. Well I could write alot more but Alexa wants to play

Callie + Wynn

Callie and Wynn were married at Christ Church Saturday with a great reception at the Telfair. I will have more to post later but back to Christmas cards! I love these photos!

Whitney + Casey

Whitney and Casey were married Saturday and she made branding look easy. Her wedding had a theme based on the beautiful gates in Savannah and she had planned every detail. I heard from her sister in law that she aka Martha Stewart, so there you go. Whitney was the kindest bride ever, she is just a genuine sweet person and cheers me up everytime I talk to her. You can see what she sees in Casey as well, very thoughtful and kind. I had a great time at there wedding which was catered by the famous Susan Mason and cake of course by no other then Minet Rushing of Savannah Custom Cakes. Have fun in Rome!

I was having fun throwing the leaves today, two sweet families that I have seen grow up! The six year boy was coaxed by making me do whatever he wanted and taking a photo of me, I would have put on some make up if I knew it was going to be reversed!



Dr. Dudley

I mentioned him before but he is the best pediatrician ever. I love him and his wife, you feel like you are going back in time when the doctors came to visit you at your house,(he does not do that, he has an office) but it is a nice family feel he has, even when Alexa was not so nice to him! (she hates shots!) But I highly recommend Dr. Stone, you will love him too! And here is his new addition to his family, I know everyone is dying to see what he looks like!

It was freezing the day we took these photos, also a little stinky where I chose to take the photos which the oldest was not happy with! who can blame her, but what a great location it is, even if it smells a little. I ran into the parents last night and had such a good time getting to know them better.
