Elizabeth & I braved the heat for her session Saturday morning.  Her session was at the Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge which worked wonderfully because there was plenty of shade to be found. Here are just a couple of my favorites:

Brea & John had a destination wedding in Gatlinburg. The ceremony and reception were both at the River Terrace Resort.  It’s a great venue for smaller weddings.  Here are just a few images from the day.

Please, everyone, always use car seats and seatbelts.

We were in a car accident a little over a week ago. We were almost home when we were rear-ended.

The arrow shows where we were when we got hit, facing that same direction. We were hit so hard we did a 180 in the middle of the road and slid up the grass, stopping right before slamming in the tree or going off into the ditch. The kids came out of it absolutely fine, zero complaints or issues whatsoever. Car seats are truly amazing! My husband and I took a bit of a beating. We were pretty banged up and have whiplash. We also both had some respiratory issued and have had multiple visits to the Dr. I think we’re finally on the mend now, though we’ll still need some follow up visits.

I’ve been trying to keep up with emails through all of this. If I somehow missed you, please let me know. If you email and don’t hear back in 48 hours (normally 24 hours), then it’s possible I didn’t recieve or overlooked your message. I’m returning phone calls as I’m able to, but my voice is very spotty right now.
