I am excited to share with you a few of my Holiday Cards! Finally!

These are not your average holiday cards - these are show stoppers! They are completely custom and printed on heavyweight professional paper with a beautiful linen finish. Your friends and family will be thrilled to get these in the mail!

This is just a sneak peak -more to come!

Vacation was fabulous. I did nothing besides sit on the beach and devour books. I didn’t even take that many pictures! I was too busy doing nothing to get my camera out. I will share a few snaps, though.

This was the view from our deck. I miss this view

Look who decided to play shutterbug?

Looking for some beach reads? Here are a few books I really enjoyed.

Tan Lines by JJ Salem ( Trashiest book I have EVER read. It is Valley of the Dolls meets Sex and the City. I loved it. But it is baaaaaaad. So this comes with a disclaimer - not for the faint of heart!)

All We Ever Wanted Was Everything by Janelle Brown

Chasing Harry Winston by Laura Weisberger

When You’re Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris

Girls in Trucks by Katie Crouch

Now, back to editing! Lots of galleries to get up!

That was a lot of bloggin’! With that flurry of promised sneak peaks posted (say that 5 times fast!) I am off to beautiful Seaside, FL for vacay!

I will respond to any emails when I return, and those of you waiting on galleries can expect them up next week. Thanks so much for your patience! I’ll be back soon with fun beach pictures!

Carter and Ava are the yin to each other’s yang. Carter is super spunky and full of energy, and little Ava is the most mellow baby I have ever seen. They are a perfect pair.

Just wanted to share a few of Riley. How pretty are her eyes? And does she not have the most perfect hair do? I just love it!

Here is a super quick sneak peak of my session with Mr. Mason.

These are a few of my favorite things.  I thought this order looked especially cute so I snapped a quick pic before sending it out the door.

This is the perfect chance to get a few updated photos of your family for Holiday cards and gifts. A very limited number of sessions are available, so please go ahead and get on the schedule.

Later this week I will also share the fabulous Holiday Card line I am offering!

A bit of housekeeping - I have less than 10 sessions available for the rest of the year, and once it’s booked, it’s booked! If you have been thinking about scheduling a session this year, now is the time.

An important note - if you would like your cards or images delivered before the holidays, your session must be completed prior to November 1st, and your order must be placed by November 10th.

I just love this little guy, and I cannot believe how quickly the last year has flown by.  On July 11 of last year, I got a call from Finn’s mom. First, she wished me a happy birthday, then she told me that Finn had arrived!  Nothing makes you realize the passage of time like watching baby grow. And that point is especially driven home when you share a birthday with said baby. “Aww… time for Finn’s 6 month session.  Wait… that means I’m six months older too….”

Well Finn, it has been so much fun watching you grow, and learn and become a little boy over the past year. I think we should start planning a joint party for next year. Maybe at a skating rink? Or maybe we can rent the Fur Bus and hit up some clubs? Or maybe Monkey Joe’s would be more appropriate…

Here are a few of my favorites from our recent one year session.

It’s been a while!  Todays’ Friday Favorites are doggy related.

1. Scented Doggie Waste bags from www.doggiewalkbags.com  Seriously - stick with me here. These things really do make picking up after your dog a bit more pleasant. I am much happier walking around with bag of nastiness if it is lavendar scented! Or if it smells like the ocean, or even a rainforest!  If you have a dog, you need these. Trust me.

2. LicksaLots are yummy frozen treats for dogs. They are all natural using really quality ingredients. They come in single serving cups and my dogs LOVE them.  They get LicksaLots for special treats, or when they are boarding we have “room service” deliver one at night.

3. You can get the magical scented bags and the LickaLots at Wag-A-Lot which is #3! The secret is out about Wag-A-Lot, but in case you haven’t heard about it, it the best place in ATL for day care, grooming, and boarding. We take out dogs every Friday and we always board them there when needed. The staff is awesome and I know my pups are well taken care of there. Not to mention they have the best time! (I know becuase I watch them on the Wag-Cam!).  They also have a wide selection of good foods, toys, and goodies. Check them out if you haven’t already!

4.  I love the cute collars from this Etsy seller, BiceDesigns. 

5. This Hammock Car Seat cover makes road trips with the pups much more enjoyable. Not only does it protect your seats, but it keeps anyone from climbing into the front seat!

And since today’s post is doggy related - here are my guys. Emma and Wallace.
