Presidents & Pavers

Yesterday morning John and I were drinking our coffee outside when I came up with a brilliant idea (at least I thought so), creating a patio in the middle of our yard for a space to relax & get some vitamin D (that's my justification for laying out but as you can see in the pic of me I am in need of MAJOR vitamin D)! John wasn't sure about this idea at first, especially since it involved hours of digging, a little cash, and a more stressful day off work but being the amazing husband he is he put down his mug & said "let's do this":)

So a trip to Home Depot later we got started. Here are some images of the progress & finished product. When all was said & done we were happy we did it & look forward to many hours of relaxing in our new oasis!

PS. The extremely good looking man in that pictures is taken, sorry ladies;)

Mom + Dad = Kiddos!

What a blessing a child is. I mean nothing truly measures up to the beauty & purity a child holds. With a hand-full of my friends having children I am experiencing first hand the joy & love a child brings into the lives of their parents. What a magical relationship, one John & I look forward to experiencing in the future! For now, I will just take pictures of other's little angels:)

Here is another image from the Fraley shoot:)

Our newest four legged daughter, Jade.

We met Jade when we were at the local pound last weekend getting images for my post on breeding vs. adopting. John spotted her & after taking her on a little walk we knew she had to come home with us! She is an Italian greyhound mix (to be honest I thought she was a large Chihuahua when I first saw her) & super loving. She is getting along great with her siblings too. We are treating her for some minor health issues but confident she will be 100% soon. My entire family thinks I'm on a mission to adopt every dog but to be honest I think they pick me:) Sometimes these creatures don't come at the most convenient times but I guess that's how life goes!

Welcome to the pack Jade!

Senior shoot of the day with Molly.

This beauty is one of my friend's sisters. The shoot was a family affair & I loved spending the afternoon with such a fun group of ladies! Here are a few of my favs from today:)

Water shot.

Love the purity of this image. Fresh water & sweet little children's hands. So thankful to live in a country where we are so blessed with resources!

Updated Site!!! FINALLY!

First off, thank you for taking time out of your day to look at my blog. You honestly have NO idea how much that means to me to have your support!

After many hours at "The Coffee Shop" I have a new & improved website:) I feel as though I'm growing as a photographer every time I step behind the lens & I hope my site reflects my growth & love for what I do!

Much love,

Brittany J.
