Goodbye January, Hello February! | Behind The Lens

Well that was fast. Where did the first month of the year go? Seriously. 

Obviously January flew by and with it so did three weddings I shot, lots of blogging, editing, print orders and new disc design and branding! I've been a busy bee. 

The weather in Florida though...I swear. (It has been a very weird January to say the least - even for crazy Florida weather standards) The first wedding I shot was 25 degrees and windy. I love the cold, but this was near the water and pretty darn cold even for me. The second wedding I shot was 77 degrees and 100% chance of rain (yes, 100%. Thankfully it held off most of the day until the monsoon hit which resulted in pretty umbrella, rain pictures. Hooray!) and my last wedding of the month was 65 degrees and sunny with a slight unexpected sprinkle in the morning. I glared at the sky and it finally stopped, I guess it decided to give me a break from dealing with these lovely weather patterns, finally. ;) 

Keep in mind all three of these weddings were all a week a part from each other, so it shows you how unexpected Florida weather can be. It's lovely to deal with but I always (somehow) make it work!

So January is done and now it's the month of love! Hello February!

I'm trying to make it a new rule for myself that I get a picture with my bride and groom at each wedding.

Wedding vendors having way too much fun during dinner. We love our jobs.

Two things are a fact. I will get in every photo booth at every wedding I shoot. And I will always do "The Wobble" when the DJ plays it, while I'm shooting ;)
Congrats John + Alison!


John + Alison's wedding was so beautiful! John took this behind the scenes shot of me and I love it.

After three wedding weekends in a row, a pedicure was in order and it felt fabulous on my poor tootsies.

Enjoying the "cold" Florida weather. We take what we can get aka; wear sweaters, boots and hats at any chance. Also had a visit with my fur-nephew, Teddy. I'm obsessed with him.

Milo (aka: Mr. Pig) also got lots of love this month too, of course.

My wonderful father-in-law made this amazing rustic wood table with a beautiful grey stain for us! I still can't stop looking at it in our dining room. It's gorgeous.

It took until my late twenties but I now love cooking and experimenting with healthy, homemade recipes.
I made homemade chicken broth and chicken, veggie and brown rice soup from scratch! Both the hubby and I loved it! So yummy. Thanks to Jessie Preza with (www.sproutednest.com) for the inspiration and spending the day shopping for goodies with me! Love her!

The holidays are OVER. Back at it in the gym.

Finished off the month by treating myself and finally buying the Naked 3 pallet. I am in love.

I hope everyone had an amazing January and is excited for an even better February!

Goodbye December, Hello January 2014! | Behind The Lens

This blog post is a little late, forgive me! The past two weeks flew by in a blur. So much going on with the holidays the big NYE bash I had been planning with seven other ladies. But now it's 2014! What?! Can't believe it's already January 8th....I feel like the months fly by quicker and quicker which means it feels like I'm doing this personal blogs sooner when really it is every month. Anywho....enjoy a look back at my December and the finale to my wonderful 2013 :)

Milo broke out the Christmas sweater and Jimmy became Jim-bow.

Went to Paulina's beautiful baby shower for baby Devan! Can't wait to shoot her birth story in February!

Shot Daimary + David's GORGEOUS wedding at the River House. Seriously I adore these two.


Went to two wonderful Christmas parties at friends houses which consisted of lots of food, games and PJ wearing.

 

Celebrated our dear friend Mike's birthday with friends and my January bride Brittany. Mike is holding a picture of his wife, Paige who is currently deployed. We miss her lots. 


Felt festive with my holiday inspired nails and red lipstick

The hubby and I on Christmas Eve.

Two of my favorite Christmas presents this year included a dehydrator and a polar watch. Both helping with a healthier 2014!

Then it was New Years Eve. And after months of planning a Gatsby inspired NYE we brought 1922 to 2014. And it was a total blast.


Thanks to Eric Sanfilippo for taking all the pictures below.









This was Milo on January 1st. Apparently he partied a little too hard.

Happy New Year Everyone! I can't wait to see what this year brings!
