Stephanie Lynn Photography: Back in action

Well, we were officially back to work last week and since we got back to Jax it's been non-stop! I have fallen WAY behind on my blogging and my face book posts are almost non-existent, but that changes today. So keep checking the blog over the next week for new weddings, maternity sessions, new promotions and other exciting news.

We had an incredible, relaxing two weeks off. For those of you that do not know, my entire family is from Louisiana and I am the only one that lives out of the state. It's hard being away from them and missing all the things some people some people might take for granted everyday. It's always so nice to go home to visit with my family and just enjoy the simple things in life. My parents have some amazing acreage with the huge overstocked pond, fields of wildflowers, a garden full of fresh vegetables, and every type of fruit tree you can imagine. I think my three favorite things to do when I go home is sit on the swing with mom while she drinks her coffee, going through moms green house as she tells me what all of the plants are, and messing around in my dad's shop, asking him a million questions about tools while he is trying to build whatever his new project is. Every time I go home my dad is always building something new and my mom always has a new flower bed.

Believe it or not I actually only picked up my camera once while I was at home. So since no post is complete without photos, here are my favorite things about home....

Home sweet Home...

Something that makes me remember how great my childhood was... Riding on my dad's old tractor (which was new then, haha)

Just a few of the great things growing while we were home.... (Side note: Last time we were home, Reilly helped my dad plant watermelons, a few months later my dad called and asked him for his secret because he had over 80 watermelons growing at once. City boys can plant gardens too!)

And a few things that make me smile... four out of the nine neices and nephews that I have and our newest edition to the family, our guard doggie Dixie.
