"I'm completely free I could go running and racing.." fort walton beach photography

One more sleep and I leave for the most magical place on earth - Walt Disney World!  I'll be there for four days and one of those days I will be doing something I never EVER thought I'd be saying I'd be doing - running a race!  A half marathon at that!  The Princess Half Marathon is on Sunday and for the first time in my life, I will be running 13.1 miles (actually, I'm doing a run 3min/walk 2min at an average of 14mpm pace)!       I tease my friend whom I'm going with that the dreaded "balloon truck" will be chasing my tail the whole way probably - but as long as I make it over that finish line and get the treasured tiara medal, I'll be happy as a bee in a field of sunflowers!!!  I'll be documenting my whole trip with Instagram (instead of my baby, Stella, my Canon DSL).  Here are just a few I've taken in preparation:


Our race route - whew that's a LONG run!!! 


Practicing my princess poses.  I am making tutus for myself and my two girlfriends who I am traveling with - we're going to be ALL dolled up! 


Only ONE more sleep!!!  Can't wait to see those famed fireworks!


Getting in some last minute snuggles with my baby boo before I leave her for 4 days.  I'm a ball of bittersweet emotions!!

If you want to follow my adventures, look me up under the name "plumbphotography" on Instagram! I'll have some sneak peeks of some amazing sessions I've done so far this new year.  Until then, I'm off to pack and prepare - wish my LUCK! See you at the FINISH LINE!!

Do you remember these photos from almost exactly a YEAR ago?! Sometimes I like to dig up old forgotten photos, blow off the dust. play around with them, re-edit and touch them up a bit, show them a bit of love.... Don't we all need that sometimes...

Dash's Adventures - Part Deux!

Wednesday, December 26, 2012
You may remember where we left off with our little elfin friend, Dash.  The last we had seen him, he was hanging out in the freezer next to the peppermint icecream feelin' a tad bit homesick.  Well, he has had many rendezvous in various parts of our home since then!  Here is the follow up on his divers adventures:


Being an elf, I guess Dash is prone to a little mischief.  You do remember the toilet papering, don't you?   Thus one morning we found all of our Christmas stockings replaced with our underwear! Seeing as Lydia's not potty trained, Dash was thoughtful enough to use a diaper in her place.  He's so silly...


Did you know that elf's enjoy coffee?  They do.  Particularly Starbucks.  And no, I did not get paid by Starbucks to write that...


Dash took Rapunzel for a night ride around the tree.  Hope Flynn Ryder doesn't find out! 


That afternoon I found THIS lechery!  So mama bear had to "rescue" Dash again and thus, that night he couldn't fly back to the North Pole and stayed put on my desk in the office for a whole 24hours! 


The next morning, we found him here - he was either recovering from the loss of magic the day before OR he was having sympathy symptoms for Ava who had been up all night with a stomach bug.  He stayed like this for two days....


However, when he came back - he was back in FULL force!  He brought presents for the kiddos and it was their annual pajamas!  He is so thoughtful...


Back in the sugar again.... which I was sort of grateful for.  He definitely helped clean out a lot of sugar from our house that we certainly didn't need to eat...


We think he got scared from all the sugar he had eaten and was worried he may end up with cavities after the holidays so we found him brushing his teeth and making all sorts of a mess with the toothpaste!  At least he'll have healthy chompers!


Dash must've known we had gone to visit the local live Nativity Scene or overheard us reading the Christmas story for we found him the next morning coloring in Lulu's book from church.  Jesus is the true REASON!!


Dash still likes to have a little fun.  We found him swinging from the fan the next day - either that, or he was working on his arm muscles - they're pretty much nonexistent...


Who knew Darth was such a fun spirit during the holidays!  A good ole' fashioned game of "cottonball" fight was ensueing the next morning.  As long as they cleaned up, I didn't mind...


The next day we found a photobooth party goin' on in our kitchen!  I guess Rapunzel wasn't available for "serious" 50's Barbie was the one partaking in the fun this time.  I found the following on my camera later that afternoon...
Naughty elf...!


Dash was still in the smooching mood the next morning for we found him in a makeshift kissing booth! 


So glad he thought of our sweet little chocolate-less Ava - peppermint kisses just for her! 


Lulu was caught hanging around, waiting for a kiss... 

Thanks to Amy over at Living Locurto for the photobooth and kissing booth printables!


The next morning was CHRISTMAS DAY and instead of finding Dash hiding anywhere up to no good, we found our cookies nibbled and all the milk drunk and a letter from Santa Claus himself!!!  We are going to miss our mischievous Dash but are looking forward to seeing him again next year.  

Hope you all had a WONDERFUL, magical Christmas full of love and joy!!

I have been taking photos for this sweet family of cuteness for a little over a year and a half now.  I just adore their big personalities - I always have a blast whenever I'm around them, I never leave without a smile!  Here is a sneak at their most recent family/cupcake session:
