Thursday was our 4th anniversary! We worked all day and then went out for dinner at night to Le Coq Au Vin – a little local French place. It was an icky rainy day – but still hot! I am so ready for
Portofino Bay Hotel
We had our monthly Orlando Wedding Guild luncheon on Wednesday. I love that hotel – but the more I go there, the more it really isn\’t my style! I am glad we didn\’t get married there. It is gorgeous,
The Dog Whisperer
Have you seen this show? We do a lot of dog photography, and everyone keeps mentioning it. So we set the DVR to record it. It is a pretty good show! The stuff is pretty “duh” type problems, but it
I love silent auctions!
We went to the annual Junior League holiday party last Sunday. It was at the Blue Martini again – what a great place! They have a silent auction every year at this and at the gala – and they always get
power!
Since it has been crazy at work, I have not downloaded any pictures. Here is the power guy\’s truck at our house. Hopefully we won\’t see this again for a LONG time!
What would you save if your house was burning down?
Wow – what an insane morning! Did I mention I haven\’t been sleeping much? Well, I will be TIRED tonight! We had it happen again – partial power. Just like last time when they said our house *should*
Busy season!
We are in full swing of our portrait busy season. It is pretty insane right now. Actually, it was insane before December even hit! We have done two full day sessions, and yesterday I had a few people
Talent in the ‘hood
Our neighbor went out of town for Thanksgiving and I watched her cat. She brought back some goodies to thank us – spices from Grenada! She is from Grenada and she goes with her daughter every year to
Turkey cravings
About five days after Thanksgiving, when the rest of the US is probably sick of turkey, we start to crave it! Going to a buffet had its perks, but Chris mentioned it once, then I did. Here we were wanting
Thanksgiving at the Peabody
Since we had a lot going on right after Thanksgiving (weddings and family portraits galore!) we decided to go out to eat for Thanksgiving. We got a newsletter in the mail from the Ritz and they had 2
Flowrider – not on a cruise ship?
So I didn\’t realize that Royal Caribbean shared this whole Flowrider idea! I thought it was something they came up with. We were walking through the mall and a new store was by Nordstrom – called Adrenalina.
My Quotes of the Year
Ok, this year I have had a few statements from people that have really stood out in my mind, so I thought it would be a good time to put together my “Quotes of the year” for 2006. So here they are:
“Shy
Did we mention that we like comments?
Hey, we hope you enjoy reading our blog, but we would love to hear more from you as well!
So please leave us some comments when you stop by, it makes us feel good! ;o)
Puppy portraits
We are always doing portraits of other people\’s dogs, so we decided to do some of our dogs! We had the backdrop up for a newborn shoot, so once they left I called the boys in for a few pictures.

Our first race
My friend Stacy told us she would be in Orlando for Thanksgiving. She lives out in Dallas. We were trying to figure out a way to see each other over such a busy weekend. She runs marathons, so she invited
Oh yeah! We are getting one of these!
Look at this yard snowglobe! Yikes! This is at Sams. I think it is actually taller than our house! I don\’t know if this would look good in any yard, let alone ours. You would need a giant house to
party for Knot vendors
The Knot has a big party every year for the vendors. This year it was at GLO on I-Drive. This place is awesome!
A photo taken by Garrett (I “borrowed” it from his slide show) with Michelle from Mystic
Dirt!
Ever since college, when I was introduced to Dirt, I have been addicted. Our cook at the sorority house made it about once a month or so and it was always a treat. A very yummy treat. A very fattening
The tree comes down
The tree in our front yard died. We had hope – maybe it was confused and dormant in the wrong season. I don\’t know what happened – it was alive and kicking then BAM – it was dead. I think someone killed
I couldn’t resist a few more pumpkin photos
Chris did a great job on the pumpkins this year – I had to show his three “eyes” again with the picture I took the next day.
Here is a whole setup shot:
