Merry Christmas, Moon.

Peace. Love. Joy.

Friday Night Lights...

What a beautiful sunset we had tonite!

Thomas and I spent some time watching the sun go down and watched the loons and herons and dolphins going about their day.

It was beautiful.

Enjoy!

A little peace.

This is one of the beauties I get to see on my drive home. Finally stopped to capture it the other night.

Meet my friend Carla!

Isn't she beautiful?! I know Carla from work, and I am so lucky to be able to call her my friend.

We had gorgeous Florida weather today. It was sunny and in the 70s!

Enjoy the pics and send us some love!

Meet the Bothe Family!

This was an important shoot for Grandma. It's been a while since the family had a group shot. So we met at the home Grandma and Grandpa built 40 some years ago...

Beautiful family and a beautiful place.

Andrea, Lori, thanks so much for allowing me to be there!

Love this little boy!!!

Isn't my nephew just adorable?

Of course he is!

This post is all about Robbie... He is growing so fast! He used to push his little trike with his feet - he refused to use the pedals! Well, not anymore! He can go FAST! =)

So cute.

Scenes from a lake...

Lake Juniper was drained. While it was drained, I took some pictures! It's need what you can see and find in an empty lake. (I think there was invasive plant life that needed to be controlled!

My Dad and Brother took the opportunity to repair and rebuild the dock while the water was gone. (All shots are pre-restoration!)

I can't wait to go back and see the progress...

Meet the neighbor...

Haha! This little guy creeps me out! He is not as bad as a praying mantis... I seriously think I have a phobia of those things. But still... he gives me the heebiejeebies.

He brought a friend with him... see the little ant?

Thomas and I planted our orange tree about 3 years ago. Looks like we will have about 3 dozen oranges this year! How exciting!

Pictures of the oranges to come later... but just some pics of Jose for now. LOL

Enjoy!

Meet the Smiley Family

BRRRRRR! Who would have thought how wonderful our pictures would have turned out?! It was so gloomy this morning. The wind was relentless! But what a pleasant surprise it was to get to the beach this morning and see such beautiful colors - without a ray of sunshine anywhere...

Thanks so much, Rita! We had a great time!

Meet the Tice Family!

I have know Mr. and Mrs. Tice for a little over 5 years now. I met them while managing their condominium in Destin. I had the privilege of photographing them on Black Friday! =) Let everyone else fight traffic and search for deals - we were at the beach!

Introducing Photo Jewelry

I love to show off photos of my nieces and nephews... I am worse than a proud grandparent! My laptop is too big to carry everywhere and an album just gets in the way.

So why not wear their photos???

Photo jewlery has been around a long time. I used to have a locket - but it was soooooo small.

The new pieces that you can now find are a little ornate for my taste and still a little small.

Through my searches I was unable to find any photo jewelry that matched my keen sense of style!

So I made my own.

It wasn't pretty. Finding the right material was difficult and so was figuring out the process. But I perservered and it has finally come together.

These items will soon be an available option during checkout.

"Frame It" is heavy and has an etched checkerboard design on the back. The bail is hidden behind the frame.

"The Big One" is big! Smooth silver on the back. The bail is very very large. Big enough for an omega chain or even a small gemstone type necklace.

They both have a high gloss, glass type finish. (The chain is a reverse double rope chain. Very heavy as well, but is not included.)

Look for new designs after the 1st of the year!

Take a minute to sign the blog and let me know what you think!
