I am TRULY BLESSED...

I always feel like I get to meet so many neat people and this family is NO EXCEPTION! They were so sweet, doggers an all! I just love when families start to relax and play together so I can capture those special moments...I love my job!

MY PERSONAL QUEST TO BLOG MORE!!!

As I said yesterday my husband went with me to my photography conference last week and the way I bribed him to go was to make a vacation out of it. We flew to Nashville which was so fun! Both he and I love to go to different venues and listen to live music, believe me we saw some talented singers and songwriters one of which I bought his CD and can't put it down, he has such a great voice. We also went to the Grand Ole Opry and saw Jewell, Darrius Rucker and Charlie Daniels just to name a few. If any of you have been to Nashville you know you have to stop by Tootsies, and the Country Music Hall of Fame it was very cool. Here's a couple pics from there...

Although we did not stop there we drove to Franklin TN which was a charming, quaint small town where Keith Urban and Tim McGraw both reside with their beautiful families AND we went to Lynchburg TN to tour the Jack Daniels Distillery (because my husband is a big Jack Daniells fan) which honestly I wasn't to excited about but it ended up being very interesting and i got some great photos.

THANK YOU HEATHER!

Last week I got back from a photography conference in Huntsville AL. with the AMAZING Heather Bookout! She is so creative and inspiring and actually taught me how to work smarter and faster so THANK YOU for giving me my life back:) I LOVE and APPRECIATE the tips and tricks she taught us and can't thank her enough. Her studio is FAB! We even got to watch her in action and shot along with her as well. Good Times! Another added bonus was my sweet husband came along with me and we turned it into a little vacation, i"ll post more pics from that later:) She even inspired me to try to keep up with my blog......I promise to give it a shot.

She couldn't of taken a bad picture!

I shot this beautiful senior the other day and I swear she "COULDN'T OF TAKEN A BAD PICTURE!" We had a lot of fun, she pretty much brought her WHOLE closet, which I LOVED because we had soooo many options and with each outfit she was fully accessorized which was even better! I couldn't wait to work on her pictures so I had to give a sneak peak! Mom and Dad you'll definately need to bring your checkbook when you come for her show! I can't wait for you to see them.
