I look forward to seeing you in email address book. ♥

I hope everyone had a fun filled, yet safe holiday weekend. Here are just a few shots of our sparkler fun.

I ♥ all of my clients! I first met C (mom) when she was referred by one of my brides (Jessica-Tybee, 10/08 wedding). I met up with C and her son J at Forsyth back in the spring and we got some really cute photos of him. On Monday we met up downtown and walked around the historic district. You all know how much I ♥ this historic district. We walked and walked (so much we needed to stop at CVS for water). The evening was a lot of fun and I enjoyed being around the whole family. Thanks again C & J for letting me into your lives. And as always, your son J is awesome!

Here are more of my favorites of Newborn M. this past Saturday. I love her and I love her death grip on the American Flag even more. Why the American flag in most of my newborn shoots? I ♥ the American Flag. I think it’s beautiful and there is just something about it that mesmerizes me. ♥

For the last 7 days I have been bouncing around the East coast. From NYC and NJ, to Philly, to D.C., we’ve been super busy loving life. Here are a few shots of NYC. I am starting the process of sorting through our photos from the first half of vacation. The rest of the week we will be in Miami, then off to Hilton Head for a wedding.
Thanks for everything!

It’s Barefoot Week over at I Heart Faces

Our Memorial Day went a little differently than planned. My husband’s dad came into town Friday morning so we decided to stay home. We hung out with him and stayed in Savannah. His dad left on Sunday, and we started to unwind from our 4 day weekend. On Monday, we shopped, had dinner in town, then bought some books for vacation. Vacation for us starts this week and we couldn’t be any more excited.

Here is the email I received from the Make A Wish Foundation (May 25th) on volunteering my time and services to their great charity. I look forward to working with them in the future for whatever event they need me for.

REWIND: How did I come to wanting to donate the class money to Make A Wish Foundation and not another charity? This was asked by my husband, then by my amazing friend Shauna K. I decided to give to Make A Wish simply because those kids won’t be around to see the cures come about. If I can give right now, and it go to a “wish” today, then I am helping out. Most of the “wishes” aren’t really that expensive. One little boy wanted to go to Ranger School. He did and received his Ranger Tab. Another little boy wanted to go to the NFL Draft. It’s the little things that I can easily help give to. Not only giving through monetary gifts, but volunteering my time and talent is the 2nd half of my giving back!
