I haven't left the country (again)... I have just been a bit Lazy!
I admit that it has taken me a while to get back into the swing of the real world after our European Holiday, I am still fighting going to sleep by 9 every night! Is it jet lag or old age, who knows! Tonight I ventured to the Paisley Umbrella for a little visit with the girls and came away with some of the sexiest shoes, I love Ann Roth of Ann Roth Shoes!
I also have a chance to meet Melanie from Lucky Paperie and I was in awe of her work. Of course I came right home and googled her site and thought I would share it with you. Check out her insightful wedding blog at: www.luckypaperie.blogspot.com. After visiting her blog I came across the below story board, and if you have read my blog in the past... you know I love Mustard & Gray together!
Now... Expect some exciting changes in the next few weeks out of me, my website and my blog.

Our Roman Holiday
Rome was amazing, it did not fall in a day nor can u see it all in a day! Instead of showing you a dozen images you can see on the web any day of the week, here are a few that my husband Dave shot with an infared camera, amazing images I must say! You rock Dave!
Locks of love
The day before we headed to Europe, in all the rush to pack and such, I got a hair cut. What made me decide that on that day of all days to cut it, I am not sure, you know women are a little crazy like that sometimes! Regardless of the reason, I had 10 inches cut off and sent to locks of love. So bye-bye pony tail and here's hoping some little girl somewhere will get some use out of my strawberry locks!
Cinque Terre
I thought I would be blogging away from Europe but we were just so busy. So here I am, back at home, settled in and just now getting to posting images from our trip. These are from the villages of Cinque Terre on the northern coast of Italy. It was truly an amazing place, please note you will need good walking shoes to tackle these villages as they are hanging off the cliffs and do not allow cars! Loved it!

Hello Europe!
After 4 connections, 10 hours in Dublin, 2 hours on the autobahn & 40 hours without sleep, we are now in Germany! Whee! Today after sleeping until nearly 2:00, we ventured into the nearby village for a late lunch, nothing too exciting but here is a little something to share. More to come.

And baby makes 5!
Today I had the pleasure of photographing an expecting mom a week before she delivers her 3rd and final baby! I find pregnancy such a beautiful experience and an honor to photograph (especially when it is not me)!
Ann Roth Shoes - Love it!
Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Ann of Ann Roth Shoes, and I had a blast shooting pictures of her shoes. Talk about a kid in a candy store, wow! I love her shoes!

Monday Monday
This past weekend flew by but it was one to remember! My kids have the most busy little lives and that keeps us busy too. After a morning of karate, T-ball and Soccer, my youngest and I headed to Chattanooga for a short visit with some friends. Their daughter, Izzy celebrated turning 4 in true fashion (a dress up party). Here are a few pictures of McKenna showing off her modeling moves at the party!

For the past few months, I have been planning a weekend of events surrounding my husbands 40th birthday! It was a lot of fun (and work)!

I will share some of the action shots later but for now, here are some detail shots taken by my assistant. Of course I have to thank Ashley Baber for helping me plan and excute some of my ideas!

Frolick
I was so excited to shoot some of Frolicks fall line last night, it was so much fun but boy am I sore today! Adrienne the owner and designer or frolick was of my brides this year and I love her work. You can visit her site at: www.shopfrolick.com .
Save the Date!
Last year I featured Adrienne & Zealous's custom Save the date, it was by far the coolest I have ever seen. It was only until this morning that I found out who created the card, it was Savor the Date! If you are looking for wedding stationary that is truly a reflection of you, this is the place! Here is a sample from their website:

The first day of school
Today, my youngest started kindergarden! I think her parents were more excited then she was! At 5 they do not realize what a milestone it is to see them off after 5 years at home, or to have them in a school that you love and are excited about. Before we know it, she will be heading to college and I will be a basket case!

New Moon Skin Care
Last week before my little ones birthday and before I decided to take off to Miami, I stopped by my friend Amy Bransford's lovely Skin Care Space and photographed it & a few products for her. Boy, it was HOT that day! Here is the result, her space is so sweet and warm. A true reflection of what she would want someone to feel! Congrats Amy on the new space!

Album Design - Part 2
These pages are from Betsy & David's summer wedding at the Atlanta History Center. This layout is a little bolder than the pages below, every wedding is different and I try to design each book to flow with the event.
I would love to hear via comments which look you like better! Thanks, Christine
Album Design- Part 1
Today I am working on a few books for clients and thought I would share some of the layouts I have done with you. First are a few layouts from Sarah & Erik's fall wedding at The Jeykll Island Club.
Please note: the orange lines are not in the final layout, they are cut off guidelines in the design software.

New colors - Love it!
As a photographer, I am excited to see some of the new color waves in Wedding Decor. More and more you see people using multiple hues of the same color rather than just one solid color and then mixing it up with new color combinations that you haven't seen before. Check out these storyboards....... who wouldn't want to attend these parties?
1st - Here are images I found on Rebecca Thruss's website. I love the deep purple & mustard combo.
2nd - This lovely storyboard is from "Style Me Pretty's" color contest. Who would have thought yellow and grey would be so pretty?
I also found this invite on Wedding Paper Divas (whom I LOVE) and thought it matched the grey and mustard PERFECTLY!

Baby Jake - Session 2
Last week I visited with baby Jake and his family for his second photo session. He was much more interested in the grass and flora to pay attention to me, but that is a part of the wonder in seeing the world though a child's eyes!

The Lake House
This past weekend we visited my parents in NC and it was so much fun! I often forget the peace and quiet of where I was raised and that I need to share this with my children much more often! We spent the weekend at the Lake House Lodge and our favorite thing by far was jumping from the dock into the lake! Here are a few pictures. I am even brave enough to post one of me in a bathing suit! Yikes!
P.S. These shots were taken with a Canon SD700 PHD (Push Here Dummy) camera! I love that little thing for vacations!

Happy Birthday to me
Yesterday to celebrate my upcoming birthday, my assistant presented me with the coolest pair of shoes! Love them! The crazy thing, they are by Carlos... as in Carlos Santana! How does a Latin man go from playing the guitar to designing women's shoes???

Joni & Karl - July 5th 2008
Joni & Karl wed in style yesterday at the Biltmore Hotel! The swirls that flowed down the bride's Sax gown echoed throughout the hot pink, purple & green reception! The guest dined amongst a sea of color and danced the night away.
Lisa & Daman - May 21st 2008
Lisa & Daman"s wedding ceremony took place at Peachtree Christian and the reception followed at the Twelve Hotel's ballroom. The bride selected chocolate and red as her main colors and added a splash of green. The couple's furry children also made a guest appearance at the party and dined at their own puppy table!
