Key West…

Good Morning!

I have to confess that there are often mornings that I sit at this keyboard and think to myself “how long will I have to sit here before the words come that will accurately describe the moments and memories that I find important and that can somehow express the strong emotion that I feel  surrounding those moments in time?!?!?”, and finally I sit back and decide that despite the pressure that I allow social media to make me feel sometimes, my life isn’t at all perfect, it isn’t at all fancy and snapshots are all I really need to always remember…yes, sometimes no words are even necessary…after all, I am a photographer not a writer.

So here is a glimpse into what was a special day for our family in a “no words necessary” kinda way.

Have a great Thursday.

Islay Skye…

This sweet little one is the newest member of my brother’s family.

 I KNOW…she is just so cute, cuddly and the most adorable EVER!

It’s such a rare occasion that the whole family is in Atlanta at the same time, but watching all of the big strong fellas with her made me especially thankful that the timing worked out that we were all here for Miss Islay’s homecoming.

ENJOY!!!

Green…

There are so many beautiful shades of green, but my all time favorite is the ‘simple green’ that is found in nature.

Have a wonderful Saint Patrick’s Day.

ENJOY!!!

An English Cottage…

The simplistic beauty of this charming little English cottage took my breath away.  It was so refreshing to spend an afternoon in the home of creative genius Marte Marie Forsberg, and without a doubt, it was the highlight of our trip to England.  She is such an inspiring artist, and has a real talent for making you feel like you are one of her very dear long lost friends.  I adored her white on white cottage, and the fresh and clean feel that we got the very minute that we walked through the front door.  I just couldn’t wait to share just a few of the many beautiful details with all of you.

There’s so much more from our travels coming soon.  Until then, I hope you all are having a wonderful week.

ENJOY!!!

Taylor & Gavin…

Can’t you just feel the love and laughter between this sweet brother and sister?  Not only did we have the best afternoon together, but we did it all as a secret surprise for their mom’s birthday gift.  The thoughtfulness behind this gift, that Taylor put together, is just one of the things that I love most about this young lady.  She is kind, funny, smart and of course, beautiful.   Her mom is pretty lucky to have a daughter exactly like her.  AND, would you just look at her adorable little brother.  Those freckles and that handsome little cowlick just melt my heart to pieces.

Tara, now that the surprise is over, I hope that you had the most amazing birthday ever.  It is safe for me to say that you are one lucky mommy, and as a matter of fact, I believe that you’ve simply got it ALL.

ENJOY!!!
