One of the best concerts you'll ever see

If you know anything about my family, it's that there's alot of music going on. All music. All the time.

My boys are both percussionists, play guitar, bass, keyboards, and more so between marching band and concert band, there just happens to be a LOT of concerts to go to each school year. And I didn't even mention the various bands they are involved in...

However, this group (including my baby Chance) is always MY FAV. The music, the energy, the FANTASTIC entertainment leaves you ALWAYS wanting more.

They are CANBOULAY... Leon's Advanced Steel Band.

Beach Portraits

This is about the closest beach I have found to Tallahassee. 

Chance and I took off late one Friday afternoon to check it out. 

So. Dying. To. Go. Again.

I'm planning a trip there in the next couple of weeks.

It's a great, no-very-far drive from the city.

If your interested in portraits there, shoot me an EMAIL and let me know which day works best for you. 

I'm thinking May 14, 20 and/or 21.

Photo Field Trip No. 2

I've added a couple of new places to my super secret stash of great photo places. Well, not so secret. But definitely SUPER!!!!!

I met up with my friend, Mesa, yesterday morning and her two beautiful kids to scout out a hill.... that meets the sky. Which you would think would be difficult to find. But Tallahassee is not really flat like the coastline is. However, we were looking for a certain kind of hill.

A grassy hill. That meets the sky.

SUCCESS!!

Such a sweet family

I received a message on FB from a fellow photog and new friend about shooting her family pictures. I WAS SO EXCITED!!

We compared dates, and check schedules, and finally realized that we were both free two days later so... arrangements were made and off we went.

Love it when things work out so quickly and easily.

They are the sweetest things. And their kids.... their kids are beautiful and funny and, um, love Goldfish and Bubbles. Thank goodness 'cause I just happen to have some of both in my bag. Haha.

Thanks so much, Mesa!! I had tooo much fun!

I had a great Mother's Day, how 'bout you?

The most exciting part of my Mother's Day this year, was picking up my baby boy from the high school. Yes, it was Sunday and no, there was no school. He was returning from a FAB trip to Virginia Beach with the Steel Band.

And they won GOLD. Yay!

After I picked him up, ate some lunch and met up with the Tyler boy, we headed to a friends house for a bbq and some swimming. I hadn't REALLY planned to swim, BUUUTTT, I couldn't resist and JUMPED ALL IN.

Can you say F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G?

We live in Florida and normally are able to swim in March. And since the heat came on this Spring like the cold came on in the Fall, I definitely would have thought that the water would be oh-so-comfortable.

BUT NO.

Because we had been experiencing a cold spell. At least at night. So that meant that the water was chilly.

These friends that we were hanging with have two, sweet girls. They gave their mom photos from a shoot we had the week before...

Thanks ya'll. I had a blast!!
