HOLIDAY MOMENTS WITH THE JONES'S

This holiday was very different from others, I spent a LOT less money and had one of the best, stress free holidays I have had in years.

Our daughter came home from NYC with her new boyfriend and we got to spend days checking him out and grilling him from one topic to another. He still liked us after all of that......(I think?) We ate tons of food, hugged, told stories and caught up on each other. Harrison even taught his grandparents how to play guitar hero.

You know you had a great Christmas when your son(a teen) says he loved it and his three favorite things were, the cymbal his grandpa gave him, his sister coming home and having a party that he got to to go to, not us, just him... and hanging out with his family. So here we are, my parents, now in their 80's, Lindsay and her boyfriend, Rob, Harrison our teen, Lindsay's mom, her beau and yes our friends and dogs, Abby, Ella and our visiting dog, Gus the boxer......

BRIDAL PHOTOS

I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph a lovely young woman and her now husband. The wedding was at her in laws home and had the most spectacular view of the city. The Gardens were amazing as well as the flowers she carried...Enjoy!

WEDDINGS

One of my sweet clients was married this year and a sweet and lovely wedding it was. They then had a reception at a local art gallery and how wonderful it was. All had a terrific time as did I photographing the events. Dorothy McDaniels did the flowers, and they were amazing. Yes those are flower balls underneath the Loretta Goodwin Gallery sign. They were designed to match the invitations by Stacy Claire Boyd, (bubble gum design).
