It was the perfect day for photos on this gorgeous campus. Seriously cannot get enough of this place! I'm so glad we got to come back. This time it was sunny rather than rainy and it looked amazing here. I could sit and gaze at this campus and probably take photos til i dropped. I was so happy Alasia, Alicia and Amari made time for photos during Amari's visit all the way from Virginia! It was so much fun capturing these sisters, there smile and interaction together was contagious! They had me giggling in between shots. Aren't they beautiful girls?! And the sweetest!    

  We are feeling the heat here in NC! There has been so much going on here. I've put off this blog long enough. I'm good at making photos, but blogging is another story. Father's day is this Sunday, and it's my husband's first one! On my twitter (@lisaanatha) I wrote a silly tweet, but it's true. I will be cooking Father's day lunch for him. He wants steak. I've located a recipe and I am really excited to try it. I hope everyone likes it! I'll keep ya'll posted! I think this blog is perfect for this weekend. Mostly because Haylee and him are in all of these photos. But Mostly because he is my number one supporter and always lets me have plenty of practice making photos and memories of our family! Hopefully Haylee will know that mommy is the one behind the camera all of the time, but she will get to see through my eyes. And it's awesome to have memories of Haylee and her daddy!! She is going to have so many memories. This past month

Sometimes I dislike that I was late to class because it just makes everyone know that is very like me to be late. I like the part where I say hello to you on the elevator. However, if I was not late to class, I might not have gotten your attention. Fast forward to the end of our freshman year our friends Lori and Geoff help us get the courage to go on our first date (many of our dates included Geoff). Those are the sweetest beginnings of our story! We have grown much more in love since then. More joy, happiness and I have found more things to love about you like: - you bring me sweet tea when i'm in my "focus mode" and forget - when I'm running late you get up earlier than needed to help me get out the door - send me videos of Haylee during your lunch break - support my crazy ideas, dreams and thoug
