The Clouds are rolling in...

Its about 430 on Thursday, (my new favorite day, becuase usually I am in the office Friday and then its the weekend) and I am sitting in my "office" (enclosed porch in the back of my house)

and its about to rain! When it rains in the day it brings back one memory, college.

You might wonder why rain reminds me of college, but every time it would rain some how or another my two roommates (hope & beth) and I would always end up back in pink Lovey (the name we had for our triple room in adpi). We would lay in our very small but comfy twin beds and light candles while we laid in bed watching movies. Sleeping in the rain in the afternoon is one of the most peaceful things I know of. It reminds me of college and the great memories I have from FSU.

I am so lucky to have found my job almost a year ago now! Can you believe its almost been a year! Even though I whine about how crazy busy I am, I am now into summer!!!! Which means I work from home probably 4 out of 5 days! SO EXCITED about it! I am so lucky to have my office surronded by windows, and flowers. I have a cute white desk with pictures right in front of me. I will take pictures when there aren't a million papers on it! (I have a work mailbox at the UPS store and havent been to it in probably about 3 weeks! I was hoping if I just didn't go the packages and letters would stop coming....They didn't and now they are on my desk)

Anyways, I am very excited for the two hour greys anatomy season finale. (2 hours!!!) I am sad becuase i think Izzie will die tonight, it will be a tear jerker for sure!!

I hope you are in as peaceful of a spot as I am right now. I can feel the wind getting colder and the clouds are starting to get darker, it feels like Pink Lovey and it makes me happy but a bit sad because I wish everyday I could be back there.

Love you all Enjoy the Rain.......

By the way I have to say I am so proud of my Mammaw! Hi Mammaw!

Hope & David Tie the Knot!

One of my greatest friends Hope recently married David in an unbelievable ceremony in St. Augustine. I was so happy to be a part of their wedding and are so happy for the two of them.As you can already tell I am quite addicted to taking pictures. In all I took around 400 pictures! Their wedding was so beautiful, here are some pictures below!

My first session!

As a mother's day gift to Tyler's mom, I took pictures of Tyler and his two sisters. They turned out great! We printed them and framed them and she just loved them. I absolutely loved taking their pictures and can't wait to take more. Here are a few pictures from the day.

Brittany is getting married!

Brittany's bridesmaid held an engagement dinner for Brittany and Adam in Tampa last month. It was a great night. Almost all of Brittany's bridesmaids were there and most of the groomsman came as well. Brittany and Adam are getting married in November and we are very excited for the wedding. The party was at Tina Tapas in Tampa. Tyler and I drove up from Orlando for the night!

Surprise we are in Quincy!

Last month my sister Brittany and I met my dad in St. Louis. My brother Tanner knew my dad was coming but had no idea about Brittany and I. We drove about 2 hours to get to Quincy and went to Jimmy Johns to surprise Tanner. Tanner was having lunch with his friends when we walked in. He was expecting my dad but he had to do a few double takes to catch who we were. It was a great surprise! We got to watch Tanner play 2 matches at Quincy. I absolutely love to surprise people. Its something about the build up and then the look on their face when you walk in. 

Tanner warming up before the game. He was warned that the paparazzi would be out in full force.

The bridge over the Mississippi in Quincy! You would not expect to see a bridge this size in Quincy would you?! I have to add this might be a picture from Brittany's photography skills. I believe Brittany and I took around 4, 500 pictures out the car window while my dad was driving. 

Quincy University. Such a pretty building!

Brittany and I were obsessed with these trees. They were everywhere. We couldn't stop talking pictures of them!

Brittany, Dad and I at the game!

Tanner doesn't show emotions during games. 

Serving...

Blocking...

Again, its really hard for us to see how Tanner is feeling during these games :)

Hope's Bachelorette Weekend!

Hope Lewis (now Andrews) recently got married in Jacksonville at an unbelievable wedding! Hope (also known as Peeps) was my college roommate at Florida State! About a month before her wedding all of the bridesmaids traveled to Jacksonville for an amazing bachelorette weekend! It was such a fun weekend for all of the girls to get back together and celebrate hope's upcoming nuptials!!! This was the first weekend I had my camera and I was so excited to take pictures. Here are a few from the weekend.

Hope opening some of her lingerie gifts! Loved her expressions!

We made Hope play a game where we asked her questions and she had to guess what David answered. Everyone she got wrong she had to chew a piece of bubblegum. Haley looks a bit concerned about how this might end up :)

My Peeps and I before our night out! (Peeps is the name we started calling each other in college and it has stuck!) Myself, Hope and Beth.

Welcome :)

It hit me as I was chatting with my college roommate Hope Andrews (love the new last name :)) that I needed to start a blog. I have a complete obsession with photographers blogs and could read them for hours. (which I do) I recently bought my first gift as a grown women, a CAMERA. I love my Rebel and have become known as the paparazzi. I have had my camera for a little over a month and have around 1300 photos :) Kinda crazy! So after talking to my peeps (Hope & Beth my college roommates) I decided I would post my pictures to update my family and friends! I am very excited to begin to upload my pictures in the coming weeks.
