In celebration of St. Patrick’s day, I went around the house yesterday and photographed items that were GREEN!! Don’t forget to wear your green today!!

Kiwi…one of my favorite fruits!

Green M&M’s.

Our only plant we can keep alive in the house

Green jello….yummy…it was our dessert last night for dinner!

Green glass….Chris started me this collection when I first met him. We did whitewater kayaking at that time (well, he did the big stuff and I did the small water). He would find glass bottles that had been broken in the creeks that had no sharp edges left to them. The glass had been pounded against the rocks/waves/sand and were now smooth, beat-up pieces of glass. He would give them to my for good luck when I paddled.

My favorite towel

Little Bobby’s Dog house (green roof). Yes, it is in our bedroom (not outside like most dog houses). When we are gone during the day, Little Bobby has our bedroom all to himself, along with a little doggy door to get out onto the gated porch. Yes, this dog is spoiled! But really, have you seen how cute he is??

Here are a few more of the Cody Man! He just turned 2 yesterday!! There are just so many good photos to choose from……

He’s ready for a game of golf!

This afternoon I got to play with Cody! We had such a fun time! Cody and his mom came from Charlotte for the week and we met at his grandparents place! The golf course is in their backyard! Cody even showed me his mad golf skills! Too cute! Here are just a few that stick out from today. More to come…

I went to Charlotte last night for the ‘Tots 2 Teens’ tour and it was wonderful!! I forgot to take a photo of Sandy and the stage while I was listening to Sandy speak, so I only have a couple from before the show!

Look at all those toys!! I got to try a few lenses out. I now know which one I am buying next!!

All of the photographers looking at the latest in albums!

The weather was amazing here today! Chris and I had the house open the whole day and played outside for most of it (played/worked…at least we were outside!) Here is just a quick photo of my sun catcher!

I also wanted to announce the winner to the Chili’s gift card from last month’s contest (sorry for the delay)! I assigned each person a number and had an online program pick the number. Tammy Chavies is the winner! Congrats! There will be more contests to come so stay tuned!!

…Castle LadyHawke that is! I was invited to a vendor’s day and it was nothing short of fabulous! It was an amazing venue and it would make for an amazing place to get married! Read more about it by clicking here. This place is a photographer’s dream! Below are some photos of the details in the castle.

The other day I got a text message. It was from Emily’s mom. She had taken a photo with her phone of Emily’s birthday cake (with the photo I had taken on it) and sent it to me! This is a great idea for cakes!!

Monday started out with snow and an amazing sunrise from our front porch! There is nothing like waking up and seeing the ground covered in a white blanket! It reminds me of the days when mom would come into my room and say, “look out the window….no school!”

With the days staying “longer later”, Chris is loving it! We got our tiller fixed and he has been busy getting our garden ready! It’s going to be a big one this year!

Some more of our plants we started last week

My little helper….drinking all of the water for the plants!!

I have had a few clients ask me recently what a gallery wrapped canvas is. It is one of my favorite products I carry! Basically, your canvas is wrapped over a 1.5 inch wooden frame and looks perfect on you wall without a frame. These canvas’s have such a fresh and clean look to them! It really is a piece of art that would look good anywhere in your home. Plus they are coated with a UV coating, so they won’t loose their color over time like some pieces of art!

Rachel was so much fun to photograph……the lighting was perfect! We walked around the trails and Rachel was such a trooper with those heels! My feet would have been toast!! I hope you enjoy the photos Rachel!!

Rachel laughs so much!! I love it!!

We were just walking back to our cars and the natural light from the sunset hit her perfectly!
