Remembering..... The Ducklings

We had been trying forever and ever, waiting for weeks and weeks, but still nothing happened.

This part is going to sound *crazy* crazy.... it even sounds crazy to me!   I had been wanting to hatch some baby ducklings for over a month, and it took over my mind *soo* much that I had a dream one night about finding 3 new ducklings in the coop.  The morning after my dream I sprinted outside and found........ 1.......2.......no wait, 3 little guys!!  Needless to say, I was pretty darn astonished and excited! :)

The ducklings found an amazing new home when I moved back to TX, but I still miss their adorably funny attitudes.  Trust me, if you want a good laugh, all you have to do is watch some ducks for about a half hour - something hilarious is bound to happen!  Here are a couple of their "baby photos" that I found this morning....



 



 

This was the very first video I took with my new camera, and the quality isn't the best (who knew you had to manually adjust the focus?? obviously not moi. ;-)), but I couldn't resist sharing the cuteness.

 



Happy Monday!

The Adams Family || Christmas 2013

"Ohhhhhh. Y'all are the ADDAMS FAMILY huh???"  **snaps fingers**

**laughing** "Yeahhhh, we get that a lot."

I guess it comes with the name, but *everyone* decides to make a little fun out of us being "The Adams Family".

Here are a few facts to set the record straight:

• We only have one "D" in our name.


• Yes, I've seen lots of episodes from the show.... I *do* know what you're talking about.


• No, we do not have a cousin It.


• We aren't *as* crazy as the Addams family.

However, after sharing these photos, I'm sure that the last point will be put into question...

I can always count on someone in the family to make at least one funny face during a session... it always happens, and it always makes the best photo.



 

.......ANNNNND it really makes me laugh.

 



 



Here's one of my fabulous opera-singing-photography-loving-violin-piano-and-harp-playing sister.  She was traveling around the country last year with her opera and has even more plans this year.  I'll be sure to share her new recordings as soon as they are ready.... shhhh... just don't tell her when I post them. ;-)



 



 



 

We have a couple family Christmas traditions in this crazy Adams family - one of which is a photo that we take of my dad and his two sisters on either side of him.  (we have so many photos of them with different faces!)  My aunts weren't around during this shoot, so Lizzy and I decided to cary on the tradition with our grandmother.  I'd say it was a success.

 



 

And here is my personal favorite tradition.  I wasn't able to hear it the past 3 years since I was in Tennessee, so this year I decided to record it.  It's not Christmas unless we get to hear Mamie say........



 

What did you do for Christmas and New Years?!?  Do you have any family traditions?

 

Happy Saturday!

Hola Texas! + A Sneak Peek

Seattle.  Nashville.  San Antonio.  Nashville.  San Antonio.  All in one month.  <---- officially the most traveling I have ever done in my life.  I feel like a repeating record when I say "things are so crazy around here" and "my life has gotten soooo busy" (believe me, they ARE. and it HAS.), but no matter how many times I say those words my life gets even *busier* - and I'm kinda loving it.  :)

I am *almost* settled after my move from Tennessee to Texas and realized that I haven't blogged since I got back from creativeLIVE!  I still have some boxes to unpack, wedding photos to edit, and about 1000000+ blog posts to catch up on (including my seattle trip, an engagement shoot and 2 weddings), but I just had to stop in and say "hey", "I'm still alive", and "HOLA Texas.... you sure are HOT!!".

 

Here's a sneak peek of an engagement I shot last week in Nashville, TN.... aren't they ADORABLE!!??  Can't wait to share the rest of their engagement photos!

 

 



 

Happy Wednesday!
