gasparilla 2014

this past weekend we headed down to tampa to celebrate gasparilla with the fam.  you may remember when we went down last year to see my dad get crowned king. you also may remember when we went a few years ago and tyler got to be a guest pirate.  this year was so much fun with my sister, her fiancee and the daniels.  we got to spend the morning with family on the ship and then see my dad and his court in the parade.  such a fun day and once in a life time experience! see a few more pictures here on my photography website.  oh and ps that is a dolphin in the water!

christmas, this year | iPhone photos

life has been pretty busy lately, and lots has been going on over on my other blog.  fall was filled with great clients, new and old.  sister got engaged over thanksgiving, which was very exciting and fun to be a part of.  amongst all the shoots and editing, i really tried to take in christmas this year and enjoy it in our new house and with our new pup.  below are some snap shots that i took throughout the season on my phone.  i have some "real" photos that i will share eventually, as well as pictures from our little weekend in the city (new york!)  below you will find : our five christmas cards, a proper place for our stockings (finally!), my baby pup, first time using china, dinner with our friends, P doing some last minute shopping for herself, our annual Christmas Eve snow crab supper, and lots of lounging and snoozing :)

 hope everyone had a merry christmas!

raining leaves

it rained leaves this weekend and penny was just a little bit excited about it.

fire and wine

a few sundays ago we ended the weekend with a little fire and wine.  maybe my new favorite combo and a pretty amazing way to end a wonderful weekend.  windows and doors were open, welcoming the best month of the year - october.  friends came over and we caught up over some nice red and a smokey fire.  yes, it was as good as it sounds!  penny of course was in heaven, with lots of attention from our friends.  she sure is a ham.  ps she may now have her own instagram account (@pennymccrary) :) happy fall everyone!
