I’ll take advice from the Pioneer Woman!

I have been following the Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, for a while now.  She is super witty and cooks up some yummy stuff in her kitchen.  I love how she photo documents the steps as she cooks.  My husband would tell you that I will more likely order something off of a menu at a restaurant if there is a photo.  That’s just how my brain works…and my stomach, I guess!  The Pioneer Woman also has a photography section where she tells readers about photo tricks and things that she is learning about photo editing.  I like to check in and see what people from all over submit during her photo projects.  Recently she was writing about adding grain to a photo, and my mind went back to a recent wedding where I did the same thing just playing around in post production.  It kinda gives a “film” look…remember film, haha!  Anyway, here is the image I took and edited:

She also has a killer Chicken Parmasan recipe!  A little labor involved, but so SO yummy!  Check it out HERE!

Address to the State- Governor Sonny Perdue’s Photographer

Something that I do not talk a lot about on here, but that some of you may know, is that I am  not only a wedding and family photographer but also the photographer for the Governor of Georgia.  It is such a wonderful opportunity and privilege to take part in this journey.  Today was a great day as he gave his final State of the State Address.  Here is one of my favorites from the day…

Wedding On A Budget

We all have budgets.  My husband and I do as well, both in business and for our personal lives.  I  know what it is like to throw a wedding within a budget, and we all hear that word come up when planning an event.  We may have different $$$ signs that we need to keep an eye on, some larger than others, and we all have different ideas of what is most important. I want to encourage all brides to use their resources and talents, and think out of the box when it comes to planning the small and large details.  It can be overwhelming at times, but there are SO many amazing online sites out there to help.  I will never take anything back about my wedding day, but I sure think it would have been cool to know about some of the bloggers out there.

I was digging around for some personal info and came across this little nugget: http://www.daveramsey.com/article/planning-your-wedding-on-a-budget/lifeandmoney_relationshipsandmoney/ that talks about one option of how to plan a wedding on a budget.  Not to mention, that there are many wonderful DIY sites out there and “real wedding” blogs that allow you to see some DIY projects in use.  Maybe these can help your creative juices flow…and save you a buck or two?  Here are some of my favorites:
