Sister Love

Katie and Brittany

July 2008

My iTunes:  Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds

The Breakfast Club soundtrack

Seeing how my own sister's birthday is tomorrow, I knew this would be the perfect post.  

Some of you know Brittany (top right)....she is a fellow blogger.  She also happens to be the big sister of Katie (top left), who is friends with my daughter.  I shot these images for fun the other day!  Check her blog out and say hello.

Back to my sis, I love her...I miss her.  Happy Birthday Kim!  I don't see you nearly enough!

Have a good day tomorrow!

Kicking Back

Southern Hospitality

One Day...

July 2008

My iTunes:  Coldplay baby!

Short and sweet.

I snapped this while at a shoot at a bed and breakfast.  What a warm welcome as you walk onto the porch.  Just lovely.  I am sure you "can" get this everywhere but I am a southern girl at heart and these are just the kinds of sentiments I love to have around me as much as possible!

Hope you all are well!

FINALLY....A Wordless Wednesday

A Wall

July 2008

My iTunes:  Leave Out All The Rest by Linkin Park

All of you know I am NEVER wordless.....

I shot this wall yesterday when I was photographing Sadie and her friends at a nearby church.  Every two months or so I offer to take some pics at the location of their choice.  It is always fun to do this with them and these are pictures she and her friends can have years from now.  I will have more of those tomorrow maybe...it is too late tonight!  Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday...I was exhausted from editing! I guess that is a good tired!

Hope you all are having a great week!

Goodbye Black.

Those Eyes.

July 2008

My iTunes:  Waiting for the World to Change by John Mayer 

I usually warn you all when my Project is about to end but this time is going to be different!  

I was going to post this image in black and white but just couldn't do it!  Those eyes are wonderful and I could get lost in them.  As I photographed this little one yesterday I found myself wondering how in the world his mom gets anything done during the day???  The entire family was wonderful and all three cousins have the most beautiful eyes!  I am hoping that his mom and dad will be checking in here so they can get a sneak peek of what they will be looking over later in the week in their proofs.

Have a good week everyone!  I will announce the next Project at the beginning of September so come and check it out!

Project Black. Take Eleven.

Not Just a Chair.

July 2008

My iTunes:  Thunder by Boys Like Girls

I had a fun shoot tonight at this quant bed and breakfast.  It was great to meet my clients in person and we all clicked immediately!  I was shooting 2 twin sisters and their grandchildren.  I will be posting some of the wonderful pics after I am done editing.  

I was so happy to see this retro lawn furniture when I arrived and when I spotted the old black paint on the back showing through I knew I had my next Project Black...I am in LOVE with this picture...

Thanks Courtney for a very fun shoot!  It was a pleasure to meet your family!

Project Black. Take Ten.

Three Peas in a Pod

April 2008

My iTunes:  Change by John Waite  (an 80's MUST listen!)

I had forgotten to edit some images for my daughter and her friends from awhile back and was gently reminded about it yesterday.  Thanks KW!  I apologize to my facebook friends that saw these yesterday when I posted them there!  Lucky you...you get a second showing today!  

It was fun to look back and even though it has only been a few months...everyone looks so different already!  I enjoyed editing a job without pressure and I thought I would share a few that I liked that I edited in black and white.

Enjoy!  Have a great weekend everyone!

Friends and Dirty Feet

SMILE GIRLS!

Project Black. Take Nine.

Sticking with Signage...

July 2008

My iTunes:  Penny and Me by Hanson

WOW...has it been 9 days already of Project Black?  Time flies!

I actually have a TON of black in my house and I until yesterday, I hadn't shared much of it.  Here is another piece.  BTW, quilly's comment yesterday about cowbells under the newlyweds bed got everyone in stitches laughing!  Thanks quilly!  Man, I feel sorry for those two!  Please go read her comment yesterday if you have not yet seen it!

This piece hangs in our kitchen.  My sister has one also and it has followed us from home to home over the years.  While I did not turn this image to black and white, I faded it quite a bit for a different look.  In my quest to purge...this will not be going anywhere either!  I guess you are realizing how hard it is for me to get rid of things!

Project Black. Take Eight.

Cow Bells

July 2008

My iTunes:   The Great Divide by Hanson 

These are in my house.  I love to go into antique stores and find things.  However these days I no longer go hunting for goodies....why?  Because I am purging any and all things not necessary.  For some reason I have had enough.  For now, these are staying.  I like them.  The top one is black and the other is a copper and black.  

More tomorrow!

Project Black. Take Seven.

Signage Part Two

July 2008

My iTunes: See The Sun by The Kooks

I could not resist this.  I know, two signs in two days...well, I like it!  

Actually, this is one of my favorites!  And yes, I did break the rules again...but guess what???  Next time...NO RULES!  :)

Mary Mac's Tea Room is in Midtown Atlanta.  Please come and check them out when you are here to support out local economy!  You will not be disappointed!

Project Black. Take Six.

Signage

July 2008

My iTunes:  Still Dave Matthews...see previous entry...

So I finally got it up!  Here goes.....

I can't do a Project without at least one sign!   My father-in-law took all his grandkids to lunch today and I snapped this!  Mary Mac's Tea Room is an Atlanta favorite if you want homestyle southern food.  On my handwritten order?  Chicken and dumplings, green beans and fried green tomatoes.  YUM!  Anyhow...it was great!

I am kind of Mr. Linky'ed out right now so I am not putting the links up.  Tomorrow I am home all afternoon and night so I am going to catch up on all my commenting...if you haven't heard from me yet...I WILL BE THERE...I promise!  Also, I am going to be doing Project Black for a few more days at least for those who have been asking...

Have a good week everyone!

Project Black. Intermission.

My iTunes: Crash by Dave Matthews Band

Hey everyone! Is anyone else having the same problem as me? I am not able to load up my picture. As soon as I can do it, it will be up for you! Hope your luck is better than mine!

Project Black. Take Five.

My New Moo
July 2008

My iTunes: Gravel Lines by Amy Seeley

Hey everyone! OK....I am so excited! I got my new MOO business cards! They just started printing regular size cards and had a special offer and since I am in LOVE with everything MOO...I ordered some. MOO uses all your own images on your cards which is wonderful to give people a glimpse into your work when you only have a few seconds to make an impression.

Do you know how elated I was to see the black case they arrived in? Hello Take Five! Here is a couple of snapshots of them! I can't tell you how much I am hooked on MOO. I use them for all sorts of things for my business and my clients. Email me if you are interested in all the ways I use them...I would be happy to share!

I know the Mr. Linky thing has gotten a bit crazy so DO NOT SIGN UP AGAIN IF YOU ALREADY HAVE DONE IT! I will figure out a better system for next time! I am glad to see so many new participants! I am still making my way around to all of you so thanks for being patient with me!

See you tomorrow!
