Happy Monday To Y'all!! I had a great weekend! We got to spend time with friends & I got to do something New & Exciting that I havent really told anyone about!! (more on that in a second).
Friday Night we went to the Lovelaces. They just got a HUGE blow up slide & the kids all played. Nevermind the fact that it was COLD! Ok...It was cooler than it had been!
Cross just kind of dipped his toes. He was doing well, until Helee splashed him. He's like his Momma, I guess. I hate being splashed or in cold water!!
Helee on the other hand....Had a blast. He wouldn't even slow down enough to let me get his picture!
My Cleanse is going great still! I have just a few days left. The other day at work, Gale (my co-worker) asked if doing the cleanse and eating "clean" made me want to work out. If you know me, you know my answer...."Um, No Not really!" Well that night or a few nights later I was playing with the boys outside and thought "I should do some lunges". Ok....when I think of lunges, I think of Jessica Simpson in Dukes of Hazzard...apparently Lunges are what got her in shape for that movie. So...I decided to do some. Well apparently I'm out of shape cause I did a TOTAL of 10 on each leg & have been sore ever since!!!
That's pathetic!
I was still feeling it in my thighs Saturday morning...but it wasnt too bad. Which leads me to my secret....
I photographed a Wedding this weekend!
About a month ago, Crystal text me & said, "What are you doing May 14th?" I said, "I don't know what are you doing"...and then she said "Oh, sorry..wrong person". A week later she asked me again...and then told me she chickened out on what she was going to ask me that night....lol
Crystal has started taking some pretty AMAZING pictures. We are both photoshop & photography junkies, but she's really excelled in her "craft". And because she's gotten so good, she was asked by a friend of a friend to take be the photographer at her wedding! And who did she want to help her??? ....ME!
Crystal is an absolute sweetheart and wanted us to do this together. It to be OUR thing, but I wasnt going to let that happen. I went for the experience and to back her up! To get shots from a different angle or perspective than her. I can not wait to see her pictures!
I didn't want anyone to think that I "thought" I was good enough to bare the "photographer" title! Which is why I kept this a secret from almost everyone but my family. It was really hard not to say anything Friday Night from my friends...so Sorry I didn't tell you all what I had planned Saturday!!
I was sooo excited to be apart of the day, but also scared that I wasnt good enough (even to assist!) It was such a relaxing day, aside from the nightmare that woke me up about my camera breaking mid-ceremony, I was never really nervous! So...Thank you to the Bride & Groom, Jodie & Brad, for giving Crystal the chance & Thank You to Crystal for giving me the opportunity too!
Here are a few of My Shots of the Day...
I will be sure to share the link for Crystal's Blog Post about the wedding!
Be sure to check her blog, Oil Wells to Cotton Bales!
After bending, squatting and doing some yoga poses to get pictures Saturday, My Thighs are SCREAMING! So...Apparently I'm out of shape!!

Have a great monday!
Well, I think it was just all a part of the story. Our day would have never been complete without you there. Cant wait to see more of the pictures! We are just so very grateful that we had the both of you-to help capture every moment of our day. From a heart filled with amazing joy-thank you!
Great photos, Amber! You may not feel you deserve the title of "photographer", but if you're not there yet, you're darn close! You have a great eye for it, you're creative, and I love looking at the photos you post here and on FB. :) And as a photographer, I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it, lol. Not even just because you're my cousin. ;)
