Their Little Heartbeat
March 21, 2012 By
This past weekend I had the lovely privilege of photographing my friend and her husband for some maternity shots. I’m so excited to meet their daughter and have already bought her outfits galore and even sewn a blanket.
Right now though, what I love the most is seeing the utter and total joy and love on one of my best-friend’s face. Bless you Shelly, Michael, and your little heart beat. Here are just a few shots from the weekend so y’all can see what I mean.
Jo Totes Review
March 14, 2012 By
As part of my Christmas gifts I received some cash. I decided to use that money and splurge on a camera bag that was fancy enough for me to wear out to dinner with Alex and not look like I was hauling around a camera bag the entire night.
(And yes I am just now getting around to talking about my Christmas gift.)
I looked at several different sites trying to decide on a bag before deciding to go with JoTotes.
I went with the Rose bag in Marigold in part because I really love yellow and in part because I wanted something girly looking, but happy.
The picture does not do this bag justice, but it’s so darn pretty and soft!
So far I have absolutely no complaints about my bag. The lining is a great pattern, even for a DAWG fan like me, and the amount of padding seems pretty great. I’ve not yet had a chance to use the shoulder strap, but I imagine it will be comfortable when I do get around to that.
I use my bag in the formation they show online, and I carry my Canon Rebel, 18-55mm lens, wallet, phone, keys, some lip gloss, the shoulder strap, and typically my FLIP video camera when I carry the camera bag. The straps really spread the weight out evenly, and even though there is only one zipper pocket inside the bag that seems to be enough for me.
I think the only thing to recognize is just how big the bag is. Even without the long shoulder strap on when I carry this bag it reaches from shoulder to hips. I’m about 5’4″ if that gives you any indication of how big the bag is.
Because of the size I do NOT carry this bag every day like I originally thought I would, but I know this will be the bag I carry when I travel since it can hold everything in a single bag for me. Plus, JoTotes has plenty of other options though if you want a smaller bag.
Definitely a great purchase and a great company that I would recommend if you are looking for, or considering, the purchase of a camera bag / purse combo.

Be Still My Heart
March 8, 2012 By
**I’ll have answers to the questions with tomorrow’s post. As soon as I quit shuddering from Mindee’s horrible reality of only 5 books. So if you have something to ask – feel free to leave a comment here or below and ask away.**
I’m sorry this is late, which really is quite sad given it’s just a photo and now an apology, but I didn’t hop on the computer last night.
Nor did I plan ahead. (Clearly poor planning on my part.)
It’s just I cried all the way home last night because you see I finished the Hunger Games trilogy. And I related to Katniss about her sister Prim. Then I thought of MY cats. Then I sobbed harder.
Then I felt like a total fool, only I couldn’t quit crying and I am quite sure the fellow Atlanta rush hour drivers around me thought I was insane as I had a quite pleasant drive all things considered. Not a single person cut me off.
Anyway – this rock here, its super special. I received this the weekend my world turned upside down and to be really truthful its part of the reason Alex and I made it.
So this rock lives on my nightstand along with the cat claw scratches from peering at the birds outside our window and rather large assortment of notepads none of which have writing in them. Forgive me the late not-nearly wordless enough Wordless Wednesday post.
Hopefully I’ll be back on track and a great deal less hormonal tomorrow.
