Urban Grounds

Urban Grounds is a coffee shop located in Decatur, Ga and they have A-mazing coffee...and yall KNOW I love some coffee. :) The owner, Tara, goes to my moms gym and she has not only lost 30+ pounds so far..shes trying to change the products her business sells to promote a super healthy lifestyle! Its great! Anywho, Tara called and wanted to set up a night shoot to grab images from her coffee shop and we were super excited to oblige...anything for the love of coffee. :) Here are some of our favorite shots and check them out on the web soon...we'll post the address as soon as their new site is up!

Happy Memorial Day...

Just wanted to take the chance to say a big fat THANK YOU to all of our military men and women out there who have served and are currently serving , both here in the states and over seas. I have a personal tie to the military because we work closely with Operation: Love Reunited and because I have 3 brother in laws who were all military. 2 of them are still currently in....one is overseas right now and the other is preparing to go....and the other is out...but I just love these guys and wanted to tell them thank you over and over a million times..and thought this would be a good way to do that. We love you Ty, Shane, and Joni.. :)

Here is a picture from some kind of CRAZY back in the day of all 4 brothers together.. :) love these guys... hehehe

Movies on the Lawn night

Saturday was super fun and a great way to start the summer off! Relaxing with friends and watching funny movies and being outside the whole time! Here is a little bit of how it all went down...



This is Gracie...she came with our friend Derek



This is Cody....who also came with Derek.....




Cody wore off on Charlie and the next thing we all knew..it looked like we had a jail cell full of puppies! hahahha it was hilarious!



We rented an old fashion popcorn machine and it was SOOOO good...




everyone just sat out blankets and chairs and their picnics and ate and listened to music and chit chatted until it got dark.... by the time the movie was over we had around 25 ppl there...it was so fun!


These are our some of our neighbors Jessica and Sam.. :)




Anthony was SOOOOO excited about the movie starting. :) hehehe




This was how it was set up and the screen was HUGE!



And the wonderful ever glowing popcorn machine had many a visitor that night.... good times had by all. :)




Thanks everyone for coming out..we definitely plan on doing it again before the summer is out...yippie!
