Things have been a bit busy lately and we're trying to get things done before leaving for Colorado in a few days. I needed a picture. He was there. So I took it.

This is the epitome of lazy. Me, not him.

I was sitting at Starbucks working this morning when this guy walked in with his adorable little girl. I immediately thought he had to be a Cavaliers player. I mean, he was TALL (hello 6'11"), wearing Air Jordans, and had an NBA something-or-other t-shirt on! He sat down at the table across from me and after a little stalking spying...I was able to make out the name on his cup. Calvin.
So, after a few quick minutes with my internet best friend (Google, duh) I was able to match up his picture and determine that his name is Calvin Booth and he did in fact play in the NBA. While his career isn't all that exciting or impressive...it was still a fun little run in!
I wasn't planning on using this as my picture of the day...but seeing as how I forgot to take another one later on, this will have to do!

I admit it - this was one of those days when it got late and I hadn't taken a picture yet. So, I started looking for an idea...when David found this frog chillin' on our patio.
Done and done.
Done and done.

Wow - we've been getting out and about a lot lately - and it's been awesome! I'm not as much of a homebody as David and love to get out, see stuff, people watch, and try new things. Tonight we did all of that! I've been craving sushi for awhile (David isn't the biggest fan and I usually can't get him to go) and David had recently heard about 1/2 price sushi night at Sushi Rock in downtown Cleveland....so, we decided to give it a try.
David and I ordered three different rolls to share (which was plenty) and had a fun evening relaxing on the outdoor patio. The sushi was AWESOME (David agrees = winning!) and the people watching wasn't too bad either...
Apparently there was something going on with a bunch of the Cleveland Browns players...so we kept seeing them go in and out of the restaurant, giving an interview, and mingling with fans. David doesn't really go ga ga over that kind of stuff...but I found it entertaining. I'm not sure who this is...but he plays for the Browns!
And apparently this post is all about how David and I are different -- and I'm okay with that : ) Opposites attract!

I love baseball (read more about that here) and have been itching to make it to a game now that the weather has warmed up - and dried out! So, when I heard that the Rockies were coming to town we marked our calendar and made sure to hit a game while they were here.
It was a great night out -- and the Rockies won to boot! Go Rocks!!

After church today David and I took a special trip down to BA Sweetie's...a new {HUGE} candy store we found. I had to get candy for a bachelorette party/lingerie shower I'm throwing for my best friend in a few weeks...and David, of course, needed to get some for himself.
This is fitting...

Following our evening at the Duct Tape Festival, we were up bright and early to head out to the annual Duct Tape Parade. We can't live in Avon and not participate in all of the Duct Tape Festival festivities (at least once). So, armed with our morning coffee we headed out the door. We found a nice spot behind a few shorter people and parked ourselves there.
All in all it was pretty fun. Each float had something to do with duct tape - some were constructed soley with duct tape and others incorporated it in other ways.
Below is one of my favorite floats. A local boutique bridal shop designed a tux and wedding gown out of duct tape. The dress was actually really pretty and very impressive!

David and I went out to celebrate our TWO YEAR anniversary this evening (where does the time go?!). We went to Strip - a local steakhouse. It was delicious and had a great outdoor ambiance. I think we'll definitely be going back.
After dinner, I convinced David to go to the Duct Tape Festival that was going on down the street. Yup - that's right...the Duct Tape Festival! Soooo romantic.
Avon, OH is home to the Duck Brand duct tape and hosts a festival each year. They had the typical carny food and rides, live bands, duct tape sculptures, and interesting people. We even participated in a scavenger hunt so that David could get a pennant -- but they closed the pennant booth before we finished. Oops!

We are celebrating our two year wedding anniversary today -- and since I didn't get any "ring" pictures on our wedding day I decided to use a few of our wedding pieces and recreate it for myself.
Here are our rings (a little less shiny than that day in 2009) with one of our programs (top) and invitations (bottom).
Our wedding was perfect and I look back on June 15, our day, with such wonderful memories!

I photographed Ava as a newborn and I can't believe she's already three (four) months old! She is such a cutie and I love those big blue eyes.
I still laugh about the day I photographed her as a newborn. Just as we were finishing up the shoot her dad picked her up - without a diaper on - and she had a MAJOR explosion...all over his arm...and his chest...and his hand...and the floor. It was disgusting and funny all at the same time.

I didn't really intend to have this be my picture of the day....until I forgot to take a real one later today. So...here it is.
It's a picture of me going through the drive-thru at the grand opening of STARBUCKS. Yes, we finally got one near where I live. Happy day!

Ahhhh...summer, I love you!
I've been enjoying the pool at our place lately and it has been wonderful. I think I could get used to this!

I purchased these bangles at Charming Charlie (one of my new favorite stores) recently and can't stop wearing them. They instantly dress up any outfit and are just so fun and flirty!

We got a fun little package in the mail today -- which included a wedding invitation to David's cousin's wedding in California. Yup, we're going back....and we can't wait!
I've had a little love affair with divine twine for some time now...and was thrilled to see that Chuck & Pam incorporated it in their wedding invitations. I LOVE that little touch. The invitations are beautiful!

You've now seen Lillian Grace around here a few times. She was one of my very first newborn clients, her mom and dad purchased my Milestone package (which means I'll photograph her four times in her first year), and I recently photographed her christening. She is such a happy baby and she seriously does not stop smiling. It's awesome!
This is one of my favorites from her six-month session that we had tonight!

Wow - I've been busy with a ton of sessions lately...which is a good thing!
I had the opportunity to capture one of the cutest little boys of I've seen to date. Seriously. He was a doll. I loved the way that he interacted with his mom and dad...and those chubby little cheeks!
Meet Brad....he's 8 months old.

I seriously can't get over how cute little Aubrey is. This picture just cracks me up because she looks like one of those little glow worms I used to have when I was little. How precious is she?!? I melt.
