My New Wheels!

Purchased a new bike! Performance Bike is having some great winter deals right now, so I couldn't pass it up! She's a beauty!

Chris & Katie's New Year's Eve Wedding

An amazing opportunity came up to assist a local photographer, Chantal Stone, for a New Years Eve wedding! The ceremony was at, Liberty Presbyterian, and the reception was at, The Vault. I was soooo excited to have this opportunity and a closer look into the wedding photography world. Chantal is such an awesome photographer and was really welcoming. Hopefully we can work together in the future!

The wedding was pretty dark, so I was a little out of my element shooting with my flash. I made the most of it and got a few good shots. You've got to start somewhere, right? =)

Christmas Holiday

I'm just a little behind on my photos since the holiday has been pretty busy for me. I love the holiday season and spent LOTS of time with family. We watched movies, hiked, visited with friends and, as always, laughed until our stomachs hurt (or as Kelly would say, 'I'm going to pop a vein in my neck'! haha) It's always been a tradition to have an Italian meal for dinner with homemade sauce that has been cooking all day...it's to die for! We also made homemade raviolis which is a family recipe, passed down from before my great grandparents. I need to stop, my mouth is watering now! Enjoy the pics!

San Francisco

This is most definitely one of my favorite cities! This was my second trip to San Francisco and it didn't disappoint. I always have the travel bug and am always up for getting out of town! It was a spontaneous decision to fly out with a friend...who doesn't love a good adventure!? A fabulous day was spent in the city, Alcatraz & Muir Forest. The second day in Napa...which is flat out amazing! Daydreaming about when I will go back....

(also created a new logo...i'm experimenting to see what I like. Leave a comment if you have an opinion! )

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was so wonderful this year! We had family travel in from Cleveland, Charlotte, Columbus & Atlanta! We are definitely a family that can eat. We had 22 people and 2 dogs and went through 32 lbs of turkey, 13 lbs of sausage & 22 bottles of wine...oh my! There was plenty of time for catching up, laughing until we cried and relaxing. Can't wait for Christmas....

Up next....San Francisco....!



This was definitely the 'man fire'. They sat out there for hours! Singing 'come on baby light my fire....' they didn't tire of that very quickly! It's was fairly entertaining.
