Colorful!

I didn't think these were going to be so beautiful.  The day was hot and the flowers seemed a little wilted.  I continued to click my shutter and I'm so thankful I did.  I'm ordering prints to be placed in our bathroom plus to sale in the local restaurant!  Remember...all photographs are for sale.  Contact for sizes and pricing!St. Francisville 020 St. Francisville 021

National Cemetery...Wow!

So instead of dragging J around to take pictures Mom and I went exploring!  We drove to St. Francisville, Louisiana and went to some great houses.  I've got great shots of flowers but we also stopped at this cemetery.  I've always wanted some good shots of the rows and rows of names of all these veterans!!!  Thank God they served our country!Cem Cemetery2St. Francisville 076 This one is my favorite.   St. Francisville 083

Baton Rouge

So I've been wanting to take my tripod out and get some nice night shots of Baton Rouge.  If I have to live in this city, I should at least take pretty pictures.  So I took the tripod, the camera, and the hubs (it is a river bank) and walked out to the water to get these shots! Capital2 
So I really like this bridge shot...not because of the boat or anything but the bridge plus the lights of Death Valley!!!!Bridge&Stadium Bridge

Wedding Filled Weekend

So Friday we rushed to the rehearsal (J got off work late).  Rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, beer pong with the guys, very little sleep.

Saturday: Pick up cake, help with hall, get ready, take over 350 pictures!

At the Altar
The above is my favorite picture.  [I think]

I was so nervous...I was hot, overwhelmed, and nervous!  I wanted great shots but wasn't getting them.  The lighting was horrible!  Everything was an orangish/yellowish color.  Honestly, I was in the choir loft trying to get a great shot...(shown below) I was listening to Father talk and I was over whelmed.  I had a little meltdown moment because I was afraid my shots weren't great.  FishEye

I got a ton of shots and on the way to our second wedding J started looking at the camera.  He was reassuring me that my shots didn't suck and that they would like them.  [What a nice husband, but he does tell me the truth!]

The second wedding was great....more food, more drinks, more dancing...and I wasn't taking pictures!  And LOTS of friends!

The groom has an older sister who isn't married yet so she had to dance with a broom.  And it was to the swiffer commercial song "Baby Come Back".  She was a good sport and it was hilarious!Lemoine Wedding 369

So we finally drove to my parents' house and CRASHED.  This morning we got up to cook dinners at the church and I donated blood! {No wonder I'm so tired}

All this and we got 2 pictures of us...both look HORRIBLE but I'll share anyway...Lemoine Wedding 338

J just can't take a normal picture and I look like I'm much chunkier than I really am.  Oh well...we got out picture at my first wedding shoot!  Too bad he had already taken off his tux!

Wedding Photographer Clothing...

These capris with a purple sleeveless blouse with this sweater over it (for in church)...I didn't want to look to revealing or have anything hang out with me moving around.

And the shoes...These but they are black! I'm loving them!!!

BWN

I've got some nice silver jewelry to wear also.  I'm pretty excited!

Things I'm Loving

So today I'm loving a lot of things...

  • My dad--Today he turns 50! I love Mom too!
  • Sam's Club!--J and I stocked up the house today!
  • Shaving Sassy (I didn't get to do her underside but she loves it and I think it's already cut down on the pet hair tumble weeds)
  • My husband--Last night I had to go to a musical performance for school and he came with!  It was a great performance but it was nice that he came also.
  • My garden of blooming flowers.  I love all of them.  Some plants my grandmother gave me so I wasn't sure what they would look like and it's a great surprise to see them!
  • Cleaning--I've made a list for spring cleaning, I've made a list for things I'd like to do to our house.  And today...I'm cleaning!
  • Donating--I'm going through our closet.  It's a horrible process (mostly because I can't fit in a lot of the clothes and I'm just giving them to others)  But they need it.  We're donating to the church so that makes me feel better.
  • Getting rid of things--Today I went through the buffet drawers.  It's really a dresser but I refinished it....I went through all 6 drawers and cleaned a lot of stuff out.  I'm working my way around the house!
  • Organizing--I started with the freezer, then fridge, then pantry.  Kitchen is done!  Dining room...done!  Living room...done!  Guest bedroom...done!
    • Master bath...done but want to add a shelf
    • Hall bath--done organizing but want to paint and hang new shower curtain
    • Office---It gets done and then I have a project.  I'm determined though.
    • Master bedroom---why do I put this off?  Is it because no one sees it?  I don't know but it's the next project!

Wow....a post of nothing, of everything, of me rambling on and on and on some more!

Have a great weekend!

I Really Want Somethings


The above picture is from an ebay seller noiseunion who makes these.

Pottery Barn has them and I've been eyeing them for above our couch!!!

Cable Display System with Clips

This is from Pottery Barn.  I think this is a great idea and I think it might be my next project for my office!!!

Frame Riser
This photo "riser" is cool because then you can get effects like these...
View in Room
This wall is great!!!!  One day, one day!!!


I think these frames are great because they are different and simple while being so pretty and classic!

It's Been A Nice Weekend (This will be Long) Sorry!

       So Friday I packed myself up (and left J at home) and headed to Alabama to visit with family.  It's about a 3-4 hour drive and I made it in about 3.5 hours (stupid traffic).  I was very tired Friday when I arrived but everyone hung out and I ended up taking pictures of my younger cousins.

Then we decided that we would go to the Explorium in Mobile, Al.  It was pretty cool!  I did a virtual heart surgery and played with some hands on science stuff.  (I know, I'm a nerd!)

Then I took pictures of my cousin and his girlfriend!  They came out so good! (I think so!) The rest of them can be seen at Photos by Lace (my photo blog).

So then today I got to go to Old Time Pottery!  I got some cool stuff for our house at a very low cost!!  I'm excited to put everything together.  I didn't get to see everyone in my family but that's ok.  I had a good time while I could.

Here's just a few random pics...

Date Night

Was great!
We both made ourselves look nice and smell good!  J took me to this great little place.

The Cabin Restaurant

It's historic and you can read about the place!  I can't wait to go back and bring my camera.  It was so cool!

Now we're relaxing and maybe will snuggle up and watch tv in bed!
