  • The new diet…

    My husband has never been one much interested in things healthy, but, as of late, he has become a fan of Dr. Asa Andrew.  After reading his book, Steve decides we are going on this diet.   No dairy, no wheat…wwwhhhaattt????  JIMMINIE CRICKETS!!  My  first thought was, “What the heck are we going to eat?  I don’t know any recipes without dairy and wheat!”.  Thankfully, this “diet” (i.e. starvation 101) only lasts for 4 weeks.  However 4 weeks is a LONG time when all you are eating is eggs and nuts.  Oh…and half your body weight in ounces of water per day.

    Today is our day one.  I must say, there is a part of me which finds a speckle of excitement in the whole experience.  I am fairly certain we will be feeling better soon.  I just hope we can stick to our guns and finish the 4 weeks.  Discipline.  After his trip to Costco yesterday, we have enough fruit for a while.  It won’t last long because it is one of the only things we can eat.

    With much trepidation, I will say, Fruits, Veggies, nuts, beef, and chicken look out.  Here we come!

  • Here It Goes…

    Recently, I have been attending an online seminar by Jasmine Star , one of the top ten wedding photographers in the nation.  She has been a complete inspiration for me in my endeavor to become the best photographer I can be.  One of her suggestions compelled me to become more transparent in my business.  This is, by all accounts, quite the frightening task.  However, this is a challenge I am willing to take on with full vigor and excitement.

    My goal with this blog is to not only market myself as your photographer of choice, but I also desire to inspire you in your life journey.  Each day is full of promises, struggles, frustrations, happiness, laughter, and exhaustion:  we are all in the same boat.

    I warn you from the start that my grammar and punctuation will leave much to be desired.  Being a southern lady, I’m sure I will throw a couple of “ya’lls” and “grits” out there from time to time, but this is all part of who I am.

    This is a photo of my little boy.  He is my miracle.  Yes, I’m very blessed.

    So, this is the first blog of many, so here it goes…
