Brian & Marjorianna Douglas

Brian and Marjorianna got married last year. I jumped at the opportunity to take their pictures because Marj is just so beautiful! Then she showed up looking just like Marilyn Monroe- and I think that Brian secretly models on the side... Needless to say, this was a very fun shoot! Thank you for letting me take your pictures!!

Oh, what fun!

The Future Douglas'

Matt and Rae are getting married on September 19, 2009. I loved when she asked me to take her wedding pictures! Rae and my sister have been best friends since High School, so this one was particularly important to me. They made this shoot so much fun and I had oodles upon oodles of images to choose from! If they do even half as well on their wedding day as they did on this day, I am in for some LONG hours ahead of me ;) I can not wait to take their wedding pictures! 

...And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

Tony and Daphne Allred

May 23, 2009

This wedding was particularly special to me. I have known Daphne for over 15 years, since 6th grade to be exact. When she asked me to be her photographer, I was so excited. They declared their vows at the gorgeous Bethlehem United Methodist Church in Bethlehem, GA. She had one of the most gorgeous gowns I have ever seen! It was hard to capture the moments with my camera through my tears during the ceremony. Thank you Daphne for allowing me to be apart of your beautiful wedding day!

yummy, yummy in my tummy.

Oh how tasty a diet can be when you have wonderful sushi!! I really and truly could eat this nonstop and NEVER get old! *sigh* I need to learn how to make sushi, so that it can be cheaper! Anyone a sushi chef that cares to teach me?? :) 

& let the games begin...

I LOVE summer! BUT with summer time comes bathing suits. With bathing suits come pools and beaches. With pool and beaches come actually wearing said bathing suit. 

Crap. 

This is even more frustrating for me personally, because the end of the summer last year, I reached my goal weight all thanks to Weight Watchers. Well, then I lost my job yet again at the beginning of the year. Money was incredibly tight. Tight money = 0.99 cent cheeseburgers and fries. Thus resulting in me gaining every pound of my weight back. 

Well, I did it once I can do it again! Right? The only difference is last time I had a goal I was working very quickly towards.... my best friend was getting married. I had bought a dress two sizes to small. I HAD to loose the weight. I realize I need a push, a shove, a freakin toss off the cliff!

So, me and one of my best friends, Joni, decided to step it up a notch. Why not compete with each other? Now, if you know me, you know I am not a competitive person. But-- I need this! And if someone keeps pushing and challenging me, I will step up! That's when I hate to loose!

Here's the deal. September 15th is the first deadline. Whoever looses the most inches wins round one. Prize? The loser buys the winner a one hour massage. Mmmmm. I wanna win! Free massage! The rules are simple, no cheating- as in we have to eat. 

Here I go. May the biggest loser win? Isn't that what they say on those TV shows? Anyway, I AM going to win.
