The Last Image

I just got finished uploading and backing up the wedding I photographed this past Saturday. I loved this wedding because it wasn't about how extravagant they could make it. It was about the basics: two people, in love, and so excited to share their lives with one another. This image was the very last image I took that day and I'm in love with it. To me this represents not only love, but contentment and happiness!



Lauren & Brandon, I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon! I'll be sharing more images later!

Take it or Leave it Tuesday

Wow, it's been a while since I posted one of these. Things are busy around here keeping up with a one year old that is on the verge of walking and has mastered the art of crawling. Quickly.



And this week's LEAVE IT's:

*Root Beer*: Sorry I'm just not a fan.

*Clutter*: Seems like clutter has taken over these days. I try to be very organized really, but the clutter just keeps piling up. I hope to show it who's boss this week!



And this week's TAKE IT's:


Seasons Finale's: The past few weeks have been full of season finales. Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy were awesome finale's. Grey's blew me away. The Season Finale of 24 was last night but my TV decided it didn't want to cooperate, so I haven't seen it yet. Crossing that my DVR atleast worked, so 24 is on the agenda for tonight. I'm excited. And although I've never watched it, I heard the LOST finale was pretty awesome. This week is also the season finale of Dancing with the Stars and American Idol for any fans out there.

*Birthdays*: Today is Scott's Birthday! I'm extremely thankful for him!

*Sunsets*: What can I say? I was blessed to grow up on the water. All I had to do was look out of my front door and see a beautiful sunset over the water. This past Sunday a thunderstorm with LOTS of rain blew through. It left us just in time to catch the sun peeking down under the clouds as it was setting. The sky was a lovely purple which reflected onto the water, making the water purple too. Take a look....


*Weddings*: I had the opportunity to photograph two weddings so far this month. It's so wonderful seeing two people joining together to start a new life together. Stay tuned for images from these weddings and much more!

#74: Try deep sea fishing again



About 5 years ago, I went on my first deep sea fishing trip. Not only did we not catch any fish, but I was sick. I did get to enjoy the ride out to the blue water, but once we slowed down it was down hill from there. I had even taken motion sickness medicine and it didn't help any. I was miserable. So I told myself I probably wouldn't go again.



Then when I was making my 101 list I decided that this would be a good thing to add back to my list to see if I'd have a different experience. The day came last November; some family & friends of mine got together and met at the boat out of Oregon Inlet around 5:30am and headed out for a day of fishing, and it was a good one. Once we'd get one on the line- we'd have another - sometimes three. At times there were 3 of us reeling in fish at the same time.



That's me above. I wore one of those motion sickness patches behind my ear. Although I did get sick, it was only once and then I was good to go. I'd definitely love to go again.

Evie is the little sister of this handsome fella in the green. He sure seemed to be smitten with his little sister.

#71: Climb Jockey's Ridge



On February 20, 2010 my friend Sandi and I took our 4Hers down to the beach to play laser tag and to climb Jockey's Ridge. I didn't think about it in the planning process, but realized once I was there that this was on my 101 things list. So I trecked up the hill with my 4Hers and made it to the top! Here are a few pictures I took while they were having a ball playing.







As I was preparing this post I was looking through my list and realized that I had done a lot more on my list that I haven't blogged about. Hopefully I can post some more of those things soon!
