Portrait Photography Session -- Harlow and Liv

 

  

If you get the Livvielane newsletter, you probably have already seen a few of these shots but I just love 'em so much I had to show 'em again! :)  It was such a super fun, fashion-forward shoot for some awesome ladies who are starting up an online clothing boutique. 

The two gals, Jen and Krista, came to me and had a very distinct vision as to the feeling they wanted to convey when people come to their website and view their pictures. They also wanted some cool and different bio photos as well. So we had a few goals in mind going into the shoot, but other than that, we just had lots of fun and caught some great images in the last hour of the sunlight that day. 

Be sure to check out Harlow and Liv! :) 

Meet my nephew!

This is the newest addition to our family! He was a few weeks early (his due date was Oct.1) but from everything I have learned, he is healthy and happy! He was born last Thursday, September 12 at 5lbs 10oz and 19in. I can't wait to meet him on my next trip to North Carolina! :) Congrats to my sister and Ryan on a healthy baby boy!

Whoa! It's been three weeks already?!

So that picture above is the main reason why I have been a little MIA the past few weeks. I was super busy the week before with a special photography project and was on the way to meet a client to wrap up said "special project" when BAM!!! I was hit from behind at 45 mph when stopped at a light. Let me tell you. I freaked out. I hit the steering wheel on impact. My face went numb. My arms went numb and tingly and my neck was instantly sore. Fortunately, I didn't see it coming or it probably would've been a LOT worse.

 

 

So I've spent the past two weeks on the couch a lot with an ice pack on my neck and upper back... just laying low and trying to recover. (Thankfully I know a great chiropractor or two and that is helping SO much.) This has been the first weekend since the accident that I've felt pretty normal with minimal pain.

My mom of course was super worried about me but I told her I was fine. Nonetheless, she sent me some beautiful flowers. :)  It always helps to boost the spirits! 

 In other news, we've had some great shopping trips out in the garden! We got quite a bit a rain a few weeks ago and had a few storms since then that have made for a bountiful crop! :) Yay for the simple pleasures.

Over the next few days, I'll be playing catch up on the blog, Facebook, email and anything else I had to take a hiatus from. Please be patient while I try to get back into the swing of things! (And thanks for hanging in there with me!) :)
