Here's a photo to inspire some beauty in your day. I took this when I was in California last year visiting my German Grandparents. My grandmother has a beautiful garden filled with all kinds of amazing things. These are some roses almost ready to start unraveling...
I'm not gonna lie, I am relieved all the holidays are over! I can't wait to settle into January's new life...
You might have already seen some of the new things I've added to my blog recently, but I'm officially ready to talk about it!
Drumroll puleeze.
First, I have a new photography website!! I'm sure I will be tweaking it here and there as I am adding some new features, but I can't wait any longer to show it off! I designed it myself!
Also, I have some buttons available if you'd like to add them to your blogs, sites, anywhere! If you need a different size to make your blog streamline... let me know and I'll send you a specially designed one.

If you are interested in booking a session or event, I'm still booking for 2011 so feel free to email me to see if the date you want is available!
After taking it a little slow - having a baby - I am back in business... In 2011 I hope to expand even further and open a few more creative ventures that I will eventually present! I will also try to get more creative projects up on the blog.
SO if you have something designer you are interesting in selling, freelance in a creative field, or interested in vending your Wedding & Event service... give me a holler while I work on my new venture- you might be just right for the job!
Another bit of news is Anna Naphtali Photography is now a vendor with 100 layer cake... which is one of my favorite wedding blogs! You can find me in their vendor list with a cool online portfolio.
Go HERE to see my new spot on their site! If I've photographed your wedding or lifestyle session you might be on there so take a look!
Thank you for reading this blog, I hope you get some inspiration from it! And thank you for all the international readers... This blog has recently had
visits from 70 countries/territories
Thank you Barcelona!
Spread the word and dazzle your sites with my buttons and thanks for tuning in. It's going to be a good year.
So another thing I wanted to do this year is cook a little healthier. My cooking got a little Paula Deanish lately. Not that there's anything wrong with using a stick of butter every once in a while.
So for a new year's day dinner I turn to my momma. She says her kids always call when they need a recipe or directions. I call her for both regularly. So she gave me this recipe for collard greens. I have always had a fear of cooking collards for various reasons, but I found out it was easy and wonderful.
And if you must know, I rarely use measurements so here's the best I can do to tell YOU what to do.
First cook some chopped onions in a little bit of butter, salt, pepper and spices. (I use Mrs. Dash sometimes because there's no salt) then add a little chicken stock and chop up your leaves of greens. Throw leaves in, as they wilt down a little, splash some more chicken stock and some vinegar in (I use Apple Cider Vinegar for most things). Cook until desired softness. About 20-30 minutes. I wanted them to feel sort of strong not mushy so I didn't cook as long.
Don't they just look healthy?
This was the final product. Black Eyed Peas, Collards and Pineapple pork-chops.
I feel like my accent got a little more Southern from this post.
