Bill and Leslie {Just 'Cause}

Hmph, what can I say about Leslie and Bill? Well, let me just start out by saying I have never seen any guy look at a girl the way Bill looks at Leslie. You can just tell that he is beaming with happiness when she is around. It's freakin' adorable! But I mean who could blame him? She's is absolutely gorgeous!

Some fun stuff happened today.. and then some not fun stuff. We had an awesome time laughing and joking like we always do. Then, all of a sudden.. Leslie got HORSE SHOCKED! We were at a little barn and we were petting the horse and just snappin' away.. There must have been a pulsing wire in the wooden fence becasue the next thing we know Leslie looks like she is about to faint. Needless to say we got out of the pretty quick. No worries though, she's okay!! We drove around all day and had a great time, and we got some great shots :)

My baby sister is a superstar :)

Last night I went and watched my sister Taylor at her elementary school talent show. She is totally going to be on American Idol in about 6 years and I'm so excited to cheer her on every step of the way. Watch this video and tell me shes not the cutest thing you've ever seen!! :) Please excuse my parents at the end of this video... please. haha

Street Corner Preachers

My Dad has been singing and playing the guitar for as long as I can remember. Shortly before we moved from New York, my Dad would be seen playing at Shandon Court and other local restuarants and bars. When we relocated to North Carolina he decided to take another leap foward with his music. He now plays in a number of restaurants around the Concord/Charlotte area. If you are ever around Johnny Bruscos, The Wine Room, Old Stone Vino, or many other restaurants in the area, and you see a large group of New Yorkers cheering on the guy behind the mic... thats probably my family :)

Now-a-days my Dad can be seen playing with a new band called the Street Corner Preachers. These four guys each have an amazing talent and they really sound great together! Private parties, events, and an all around good time are their specialites. Before their practice we took a few shots for their website and some other promotional things. Not too shabby if you ask me.. :)

Welcome to the family, Bailey!

Let's just start out by saying how amazing my friends are. We are always there for eachother, no matter the situation. Through the boys that make us cry, the jokes that only we would understand, and anything else that dares to stand in our way. We tend to refer to eachother as family because well, thats what we have become. I love you, Auriel, Liz, Laura, and Leslie!! (aka.. JAELL) :)




Okay now to the real post... Auriel has a new man in her life and we really felt it was necessary to make it blog official. This is the friendliest, most lovable guy you will ever meet! His name is Bailey and although he has only been with the family for about hmm... 48 hours, we all love him to pieces!! Welcome to the family Bailsss!







How freakin' cute :)




Bailey is a 4 year old Shiba Inu, and seriously the CUTEST pup I have ever seen! :)



Side note: I found out real fast that pups are not the easiest subject to shoot.. but I still love ya, Bailey!
