Personal-Hot Ginger Soup

I am a Foodie. Now that doesn't mean I love to cook, but I do love to eat. I love different food, spicy food, and sometimes what others call weird food. This past year has taken me on a food path that I wasn't prepared for. My thyroid issues actually had stemmed from what I now believe to be an allergic reaction....a reaction to gluten. To make a long story short, I do not have to take thyroid medication now and my energy is back to the 'dance in the living room' level again but I must watch what I eat. Which brings me to today's blog photos.

Jaz and I went to Half-Price Books this week. I found the book, "Allergy-free Cookbook" by Alice Sherwood. I was instantly intrigued and when I saw the recipe for noodles in hot ginger broth, I knew that book was going in my shoppin' buggy.

I went to the store and bought items in which some, I had never purchased before...........therefore, the pic below:




TADAAA.......hot ginger soup. Made by little me :)

Engagement-Chris & Mandy

Chris and Mandy made the trip from Indiana for their shoot in downtown Columbus. I knew I was in for some fun when I heard about the outfit changes. With the help of Mandy's wonderfully creative sister, Rachel, this shoot took on a fashion love story of it's own. The photo below is what I call "Foot Flirtin' "..........








Rachel asked permission in advance from the owner of Flower Child to take some photos inside the store. How fun for us all!!!




I have always wanted to do a live mannequin shot. This day I got my wish.




Chris's proposal story was sooooo cute. The sign he is holding (NONE AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOU!) led up to the big question.

Watch out Indiana.....here we come for the wedding!!!

Personal-Monday Morning & Bon Jovi

So it's Monday morning. 6:00 a.m. I check my phone for email. What do I see?? From 106.7........WIN Bon Jovi tickets. Caller 1 at 8:40 a.m. So there I sit. The Ipod plugged into my ears and the phone in my hand.

Now I would like to say this ended perfectly. But I can't lie. So maybe tomorrow............

Engagment-Eric & Audrey (with Scarlett & Zinny :)

I checked the date. This engagement session idea had been planned since October 2009! On that beautiful fall day that I met with Audrey and Eric, we talked about what kind of session would be great for them. The idea of a snow based photo shoot was brought up and we all got happy! Sleds, scarves, hats, and snow filled our minds with fun. The day finally arrived last weekend and I think even the doggies, Scarlett and Zinny had a good time...well, at least we know Scarlett had a good time, as you can see below........













I just have a feeling that the wedding day will be as fun and relaxed as it was this very day....minus the snow :)
