lovely people.

well, i'm in Panera again :)

Saturday was a sad day - it rained pretty hard while i was at Sidewalk Arts, so a lot of people's drawings got messed up. i also had to cancel my pictures with the Thompson boys for rain (that never came!). but, i did have a lovely evening with the Haas couple, Frances, and Josh on Saturday night at Forsyth Park while An American Tale was playing. i think the fact that it was part-musical really topped it off..ha.

anyways, i got to take picture of the Thompson boys yesterday evening! they are totally adorable, and apparently very photogenic :) they made me smile.

 here are a few pictures from the day:

Tyler was definitely a ham (yay!), and Bradley loved eating the leaves so much (so i assume he will become a vegetarian)

it was a lovely day :)

overwhelmed, but overjoyed.

so...i'm overwhelmed.

but parts of it are in a good way :)

i'm actually currently procrastinating from editing pictures, so i thought i would update things since i haven't written in a while..

i truly did not know that my photography "business" would take off the way that it has seemed to. i know there are a lot of other photographer's are out every day with shoots, but even with my spread out schedule, i have managed to become a little overwhelmed! i really cannot complain, but i wasn't prepared for how greatly God would bless me. further proving that you should never underestimate Him!

i am currently sitting in Panera Bread (they own a lot of my money :) this is probably my 3rd of 4th time in here this week...yikes.

there are ladies sitting near me who are catching up on their latest gossip and there seem to be a lot of new art pieces on the wall...yay!

i had to buy reading glasses today :/ i like them, though! it seems that i stare at a computer screen too much and my parents recommended glasses while i'm working. -sigh- i'm getting so old.. :)

oh my goodness, yesterday was the happiest day of my life!

i was riding with my mom yesterday, and we passed the "Sidewalk Arts Festival" sign at Forsyth Park. it's on Saturday! and i'm so excited!! i missed it last year, so i will probably be out the whole day taking pictures. i also get to take some photos of my high school science teacher's kids on Saturday. i'm pumped! we are going to my great aunt's plantation home and we'll be on the dock and everything. should be lovely :)

i just saw a guy voluntarily toss a penny onto the ground.

that made me smile.

i have a pretty busy schedule before i leave for West Virginia (which, by the way, i'm SO excited about). i will be leaving May 29th, and it will be a 2 day trip.

by the way, while i'm thinking of this - if the lady who called me today regarding a wedding in October is reading this...are you set on that day? i will be home the next week in October, and i really feel terrible. please call me if anything changes.

i think i will head back home now for more editing of a recent wedding.

here is one of my favorite pictures, even though the bride isn't fully dressed for the occasion :)

i have added a few new pictures to my "personal/art" section and will be adding a lot of wedding and children's pics soon! there are a lot of photo opportunities this week :)
