Perfect weather for a Picnic with my mini-me!

Kate Middleton: eat your heart out.

  Addison & I shopped around town yesterday, bought some tacky jewelry (as usual) and headed back to "Nana & Papa's house."
We had a picnic in the yard...until the rain came!

yummy.

...I found a sun hat yesterday that pracitally called my name.  My aunt monogrammed it for me!  Now I'm ready to be stylish in the summer!

Its a Youtube world..

I just figured out how to upload videos from my phone onto YouTube...Check out some "blast from the past" moments.

Life is a zoo...or at least in this house

6 adults, 1 toddler, 2 bunnies, 1 bird, 1 cat, 1 snake and 1 dog...sounding like a zoo yet?

It is definitely a full house in the Wilson household.  Ashleigh and Justin have almost finished moving!  They are already staying at mama & daddy's house.

My studio equipment finally arrived! I couldn't be more excited.  I feel that my photography business is moving right along in the right direction.  I just have to "keep on keeping on." 



:)

Bon (my aunt) had her annual Easter party this past Saturday.  It was good to see everyone and celebrate Easter.

..another day :)

Yesterday I had a photo shoot with two adorable kids!  Their mommy is a pediatrication with GHS.  I am very excited about gaining more contacts in Greenville!  The weather was perfect!!  I am defintely going to post some of their pictures! (as soon as I get the go-ahead from their mom.)  Before the cuties showed up, I snapped a few pictures of Jessica's growing belly!

Stella Claire & Harper in the oven.

...We went to eat sushi last night!  Sushi has recently become my new favorite food!  Yes, me, "meat & potatos girl", actually likes sushi. :)
I have a photo shoot this afternoon with 3 kiddos in Cleveland park.  Let's hope the rain holds off!

...as promised... :)

Here are a few pictures from my recent newborn session.  Sweet 6 lbs. baby girl!

Beachin' good times...

We left for Edisto on Friday, and returned Monday night.  It was nice to get away for a little while!  The weather was nice, but it could have been a little warmer.  I only picked up my camera for an hour and proceeded to take 215 pictures.  (that's why I only picked it up for one hour)  I can get shutter happy.  My theory is: it's better too overshoot than to undershoot!  We met up with my cousins and they joined in on the photo shoot!  We also had a cookout with the Connell's one night.  Check out the beach pics!

Noah & Addison (cousins)

Noah & Wiley (brothers)

Watch out world..here I come!

I am so excited!  I just bought some studio equipment, that I needed badly!  I will be able to set this up anywhere and keep building from this!  Outdoors/Indoors..I'm ready to rock'n roll now!

..on its way to SC from California.. 

Bunnies and Babies

WHEWW!! I am finished with my Easter portraits!.. All of the kids loved the 2 bunnies! (one bunny liked the kids a lot more than the other bunny)  I photographed children 3 months old - 10 years old.  (each child behaved in their own unique way)  These are some of my favorite pictures from this weekend.

The photo shoot I had Thursday was with a little boy turning the big 2!  Its fun getting to see kids grow up! I took his baby and 1st birthday pictures!

Cousins, Tutus, & Gummy worms..Oh my!

Friday...and my work begins!  Today I babysat 3 of my favorite munchkins. (Addison 3, my cousins Katelyn 2 & Thomas 6)  Addison and Katelyn enjoyed having each other's company!  They played with baby dolls and pranced around the house in plastic heels.  Thomas is 100% boy!  He thought it would be a good idea to microwave a bag of gummy worms and then pour them over fish sticks. (sounds appetizing, right?....surprisingly he didn't think it was either)



Addison & Katelyn

I had a newborn photo shoot with a 6 lb. baby girl!  Newborn shoots are my favorite!  How could you ever get tired of holding babies in tutus as a profession.  No doubt...there will be pictures posted soon!  My Easter photo shoot is this weekend!  I'll be going strong from 9am - 6 pm Saturday & Sunday.  I better get to snoozing!

Diamonds Everywhere..

Elliott getting sassy.

I had a photo shoot with a 2 year old yesterday. He was a hand-full and lots of fun! (pics to come soon) Last night we went to the Greenville Drive baseball game. It was the season opener at the Drive Diamond! I can't believe that we have gone from hermits to social butterflies within a couple of days. (credit due to spring fever) Our friends James, Bennett & Kara came to the game with us. 
Going to the chapel...and their gonna get married! Bennett & Kara got engaged on Wednesday night! Kara's new diamond was sparkling bright under the field lights! Congrats to the future Mr. & Mrs. Bennett Reid!

Concertin'

....We went to see the Drive-By Truckers (no, I've never heard of them either.) last night at The Handle Bar. It was fun, but not my cup of tea..It was good to get out and about on a weekday, but I admit I was a little bummed about not getting to see who got "voted off the island."(oh reality tv, you suck me in every time)

little blurry..camera phone pic at concert

Bead All About It!

OH MY BEAD!

Only my precious little, sweet, innocent, princess of a niece.....

Guess who proceeded to shove a bead up her nose...you guessed it : Addison.

After a quick trip to the hospital today, the mystery bead was retrieved!

Let's hope that she learned her lesson!

..Blog about it!

...I have taken the plunge into the wonderful world of blogging!  I recently celebrated my 25th birthday! I had a great time ringing in the big 2-5 with my family and friends!

My family & friends...minus a few

Elliott & me..the Birthday Princess





Elliott and I made the trip down to Greenwood on Friday and stayed through Saturday. I had a photo shoot in Greenwood Saturday morning.  I snapped pictures of a cutie with the brightest blue eyes!

                                                      

                    
                                

Saturday afternoon we took Addison to the movies to see HOP!  The movie theater was packed full of little Easter bunnies, we had to sit on the first row!  I had to wake Elliott up several times.. His snoring was starting to scare the children..I think he really enjoyed the movie!

...... of course we HAD to wear bunny ears to go see HOP!

Sunday was a great day!  I had a maternity shoot that morning with a sweet couple expecting their first child!  I enjoy getting to meet new people and being able to give them memories that they will treasure forever...I'm the only one that knows her name besides mommy and daddy to be! Exciting!

it's a girl!

After my work was done, Elliott and I headed downtown.  We met up with Shelly, Elizabeth and their dogs.  The weather was wonderful!  We took advantage of Elliott and made him take some "glamour shots" of us in the park.

:)

This week has been great...besides the crazy storm!  My bff Jared is coming to Greenville tomorrow!..to be continued!
