On Location: Lookout Point Lakeside Inn (Hot Springs, Arkansas)

Thanks to Groupon and splurging on the benefits of the Christmas season, the Mister and I gifted ourselves with 2 nights away this past December.  What a delight and may become a tradition for us.  It is a busy season in ministry and it is a perfect time to getaway with your love.

One of the nights of our getaway we stayed in a sweet bed and breakfast.  Forget the tuille and Victorian everything – no, this one was more our style: relaxed and delicious and quiet.  We loved the food, the location (even though it was cold), and the comfy room.  In some bed and breakfasts, the food doesn’t live up to reputation: but this one left nothing to be desired.  We broke fast on a delicious pineapple and pomegranate salad then feasted on herbed potatoes and a Monte Cristo that was perfectly cooked.

Our first floor room was complete with a deck that led out to the lake and a shower that I would love to have in our master bath at home.  There was a library to “checkout” books and seats throughout the home that would invite you to sit and stay for hours.

I long to go back there in the warmer months to enjoy the lake: the birds, the canoe, and the sun and swings.

Thank you Lookout Point!  It was delightful!

Here are some shots on location in Volusia County, Florida that I took of a sweet friend of the family.  Thanks for being so photogenic Carrie!  Carrie loves our boys, plays well with the sunshine, has beautiful eyes, skin, and hair that bounces off the lens of my camera.  She is sweet and servant-hearted.  Such a joy.

Winter in the Sunshine State

Winter in the Sunshine State

The past two weeks the Mister, boys, a nanny, and I were in the Sunshine State. I grew up in Lakeland, which is in the middle of the state. While the Mister was in class all day, my friend, the boys, and I toured the Orlando metro area, went on walks in the sunshine, took great love in the beach and ocean. Then over the weekend we visited friends and traveled from St. Augustine to Miami Beach all in one weekend. We snuck in a trip to Downtown Disney and hit some great letterpress shops in the area. I did almost everything I had planned to do, but also some that I didn’t want to do (like gain weight). Enjoy some pictures that I took while we were there. I do love the Sunshine State.
St. Augustine Beach

This was taken on a cold Friday dusk near 4th Street on St. Augustine Beach.

We hit up Hontoon Island and Blue Springs State Park and this is clearly a picture of some of my fave trees in the Sunshine State.

I stopped by two favorite Letterpress stores in Winter Park: Rifle Paper Co and 9th Letter Press.

Here are some of my other favorites from around the state. Enjoy. And if you get a chance – go visit the Sunshine State in the dead of winter – its a nice breathe of fresh air!

I love getting to know families: how they interact, how they laugh, how they love!  This family is no different.  It was a cold day here in Little Rock the day that we had scheduled photos.  Their kiddos were troopers.  I loved how the parents stayed calm and peaceful in talking with their children even in fussy times.  It was a blessing to see.  And to photograph!

Sisters.  Sisters.  There were never such devoted sisters.

S and A and their mom Jennifer are such sweet dear people.  Jennifer and I go way back (to her middle school days) and I love the fact that me and my son get to be a part of their lives.  For this session we were in Palm Coast, FL at Princess Place Preserves – never been there, want to go back.  It is such an old Florida place – trees, moss, water, not a bazillion tourists around!  Then we trekked back to St. Augustine and had lunch at her parent’s place and played on the beach with the seagulls!

Such sweet time!

Hey folks.

As I am in a new season of life, i would like to use my photography skills for means of blessing other people.

So, please take a look at my photos – whether here or on Facebook – and let me know what I can do for you.

I can print notecards – they come in a pack of 24 for $25 and that comes with pretty packaging.  They can be personalized on front or back with scripture, name, or anything else you may want.  If you don’t want them personalized they can come in smaller quantities, again with prices varying.  Check out some ideas under the tab Snail Mail Happies

You can order a print which will be varying in prices depending on what you want (canvas, size, etc).

These make great holiday gifts or hostess gifts.

If you are in Little Rock and would like to do a photo shot – maybe for your holiday cards or for Christmas presents for family members: it is $50 a session and you get the CD and rites to all the photographs.

There you have it!  Now, I just need to get an Etsy page going and a FB page going!
