Day 97 of Project 365! {Cenla Gardener}

Cenla Gardener is owned my a friend of mine, Chris Wilder. Chris has made quite a name for himself in Central Louisiana! Everyone is dyeing to get one of his raised beds that grow edible gardens! I had the honor of taking some photos for a garden he made for Kitchen Warehouse, (also in Central Louisiana) and for the children at the St. James Church/School. Working by his side is Courtney Dixon, another high school friend of mine! I love to see our local business' booming. Great job guys!!!

 

Call Cenla Gardener for all your garden needs!

Day 90 - 96 of Project 365! {Sweet Cameron}

I want to say first and foremost to all my loyal readers, that I am terribly sorry for the lapse in posting. I really over did myself last month. I am still recouping and trying to catch up. I am so very blessed to be able to have so much business, but I now know I have to limit myself. Now on to one of my cutest clients!

Ms. Cameron is the daughter of a high school friend of mine. She is super cute and filled with personality, which oozes out of her photos! Take a look:

Love this little girl!!

Day 85 - 90 of Project 365! {Beach mini-vaca}

This week we went on a mini-vacation to the Beach. The closest beach to us was Lake Charles, so I booked a room and me and the boys jetted off on our newest adventure! The room was amazing, complete with a jacuzzi tub!! Here is the chandelier in the front entrance.

 For those who are interested it was Holiday Inn Express in Lake Charles!! So super pleased with the customer service and everything about this hotel! Now for the beach!





At first it was cloudy and very windy, but that didn't stop us from having a great time!! (Or jumping in the cold water!)



This was the first sand castle that was built!



And this was the second castle on the second day!! We had a great time, minus the sun burns! Always remember lots of sun block for the little ones.



Love and happiness always,

Kristin Grace

I know I am late updating my blog. For my followers, I am terribly sorry, and I will try to not get backed up like that again. Now, to the blogging:

This is Colin Layne! How adorable is he??? We did a couple themed photos to have for his birthday invitations, which are themed "trucks." This baby is overly happy and so laid back. He was a JOY to work with. Jenn, you are a lucky girl, my friend! I can't believe he is about to be ONE! Ahhh!



Thank you for letting me share this moment with you guys!

Love always,
