Emmanuel+Jamie

A few weeks ago I assisted my friend, and awesome photographer, Kristen Gardner (kristen squared!) for Emmanuel and Jamie's big day! To see Kristen's full shoot click here.

It was a great day...packed full of laughs, golf cart driving, music and a beautiful couple! Congratulations guys!

This was seriously the best "garter show-down" EVER!!

nope, not the band...the bridesmaid...and she was awesome!

I've truly enjoyed my summer! It has been jam-packed with family, friends and travel and I've put work/blogging on the back burner...but I'm back and if you'll excuse my absence I'm ready to share!

One of my trips was to St Augustine, Florida, where I went to college, to visit my dearest friend Natty and her husband Brent. Although, THIS trip had a double bonus...TWINS! Aviley and Jack, who are now just over 6 months old! Aviley has red hair like her dad and Jack has dark hair like his momma and man are they cute. They both are totally laid back babies and have facial expressions that will make you laugh all day! It's going to be so fun watching these two grow up.

Natty and Brent: it was soo good to see you both. You are great parents! much love.

Mountains to Sea

Sooo, editing...yeah...about that...

It's taken a back seat since I've been here in France but that doesn't mean my camera has joined! There is so much natural beauty here. We did a road trip through the Pyrenees over to the coast the past 2 weeks which was a blast. I could ramble on and on about the different spots but I won't at the moment, just enjoy the pics. It's a random sampling of some of my favorite spots.

Pic du Midi; aka: the Tourmalet, climb in Le Tour de France

Bagnere de Bigorre fly fishing

Font-Rameu, solar panel and awesome storm!

and over to the coast!

Simple Pleasures.

Life is sweet. People move a bit slower here and indulge in what the community has to offer.

and my personal favorite...I've been waiting to see fields of these!!

Cerises.

Loving France. I can't seem to keep up on my photos but here are a few from cherry picking the other day with Pat (a lovely host) and John. We were there for about 15 minutes and left with a bucket full of cherries! So good. The owner seemed quite pleased that a couple Americans were there to pick his cherries.
