Ohhhh how I love it. I’m obsessed. And I’ve said it before… but Instagram… you are my best friend. Well, besides me new obsession of Pinterest!

I’ve learned that as much as I love my DSLR, I’m scared of damaging it with some unknown objects in my purse and my shoulder tends to suffer at the end of the day. So I count on my iPhone to do the same job. Well, not exactly the same job, but it serves the purpose and allows me to play around with Instagram and Camera360.

Now that I discovered a Lightroom collage set I’ll be posting more of my Instagrams, as well as other random photos. Be ready!

Here’s the first set.

From Top Left to Right
1. Patiently waiting in the Fort Lauderdale Airport for our flight…. hello coffee.
2. Sitting in the bus on our way to the Sandals Ocho Rios resort in Jamaica
3. Ohhh sun… how I missed you.
4. Biggest Chess board I’ve ever seen outside our hotel room
5. “I got my toes in the water…”
6. Ben and I on New Years – hadn’t posted the picture yet.
7. Sun + Mimosa + Music = PERFECTION
8. My sister and I on New Years Eve
9. Leaving Jamaica.

Can’t wait to post more of these collages. Hope you do too.

2011 has brought so many wonderful memories into my life.

I’ve traveled, met incredible people through my photography, watched my little sister get engaged, challenged myself both personally and professionally.

And with 2011 hours away from being over…. I look forward to more beautiful memories in 2012. I have a feeling it’s going to be a great year. A year full of more great friends, more travels, more excitement than what ’11 placed in our paths.

I hope every one of you enjoyed the passing year and are just as ready for what 2012 brings.

I’m ready … with open arms.

Happy New Year!

I’ve been meaning to create this post for about 2 weeks now but due to my computer crashing on me …I wasn’t able to scratch it off my to-do list. So here I am …late…like alot of my posts but hey ‘better late than never’.

This year marked 29 beautiful years that my parents have been married. 29+ years since my dad saw my mom in school and told himself he was going to marry her. 29 years since they vowed through thick and thin, sickness and health, to love one another. To cherish and respect one another.

And through their years of marriage they’ve taught my sister and I what love looks like. What love means. They’ve taught us that a marriage takes dedication, patience, commitment, respect, communication, love and plenty of kisses.

Thank you mom and dad for being such incredible role models. For teaching us that true love does indeed exist. And that through thick and thin, sickness and health that we too can make I work.

To 29 more beautiful years.

Love you.

I’m sitting in my car, more like laying as I have the seat reclined back, while on my lunch break. And I can’t help but soak in the feeling of the sun’s rays on my arms. The sound of country music playing through the speakers and enjoying the moment. The moment I have to be alone and count my blessings.

The many blessings we lose sight of each and every day. Blessings like ….a new day. A family that loves me. Friends who encourage me. People who make it a point to let me know they are there. Health. Wealth. Love. God. And so much more.

So as I go to make myself some coffee to stay awake for a few more hours of my shift I’ll continue to count those blessings.

Happy Tuesday.
