December is my all-time favorite month! Everything amazing happens in December..or right before. Thanksgiving, mine & Rob’s dating anniversary, Diesel’s birthday, Rob’s birthday, my birthday (we’re a December family), Christmas…I think you get where I am going with this. So with that said, I have yet to have a session in December that I haven’t been magically in love with. This session is absolutely no different! 

I was thrilled when Abby reached out to me and asked me to take pictures of her and her hubs! Abby is the crazy talented photographer behind Abby Elizabeth Photography and I was absolutely tickled when she told me she was wanting some winter/Christmas pictures!!! Yay! We headed out to where she and Ben got hitched even though it had been raining all day and didn’t look promising to let up. Let me just say, I love the rain. Just LOVE the rain. Its such a calming factor and it always feels like it centers me. I’m not scared of it and I was SO excited when I got a text from Abby that said, “I just got an umbrella. Lets go for it!” She knows the way to my heart! 

Snuggle up with a blanket and maybe some hot cocoa…these are worth it!

Abby & Ben came with the perfect look for winter or Christmas pictures! RED, plaid, accessories…one super happy photographer right here!!!

 Might I add that this was definitely my first time ever taking pictures of cats! 😀

Busy Crickets

Busy crickets…what on Earth am I talking about? I honestly don’t know at this point. I was going with a thought of my blog has been like crickets lately. I haven’t posted in well over a month (which I just hate) but but those crickets have been super, super busy somewhere else!

As many of you know (or may not, but you can catch up here), I am now a San Franciscian! 🙂 This city has honestly completely surpassed all of my expectations and has shown me that although I might not currently reside in the South, our “Southern Hospitality” doesn’t only reside in the South, either. Well, let me rephrase that, people here are just plain nice! And that…was a lovely surprise!

More on our move, trials and adventures later! 🙂

I wanted to share all the amazing yumminess that I have been neck deep in over the last few weeks! These are all sessions and weddings that are still in my queue to finish up in the next couple of weeks before I head back to TN for my last 2013 wedding! I want to give a shout out to all of my amazing clients who have been SO patient with me! Packing a 3 bedroom apartment, saying goodbye to friends, families and clients, having an incredibly (you can’t even imagine his medicine schedule) puppers, moving across the country, shipping my computer (I thought I was going to chew off all of my fingernails), and traveling back and forth has really put a toll on me and my schedule. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! You all mean the world to me and thank you so much for all of your encouraging words and support through this HUGE life change!!!

On to the fun stuff! You will see all of these sessions in their own blogs (plus the 20 or so sessions that I have delivered, but not blogged yet) soon! 🙂

Smiles,
Kayla F

P.S…these images are in absolutely no order in terms of where they are in the queue! 🙂
