Sushi 101 with the Moore and Lindsey Fam

A rustic cabin weekend in Northern Georgia calls for nothing other than Sushi. You may have smores on your cabin weekend trips, but us Moore-Lindsey-McQuain families do it up right with a little help from the fruits of the sea.

With the help of a rice cooker, an iphone, and a youtube tutorial we were quite successful if I do say so myself. Our choice, the California Roll. There aren't too many fresh fish sources in Northern GA. We thought the California would be our best bet. I will also mention that we were out of suran wrap...this is what you normally wrap your bamboo mat with so your sushi does not stick, we used a large ziploc instead. Feast your eyes! Now go make your own!

 

Just in case the sushi was a bust Erin made us some Teriyaki Chicken too, a little warm sake on the side. :-)

Hungry taste testers.

Penny wasn't very interested.

Pièce de résistance

Turner + Rash Album

Wedding albums can be tricky. After many scrutinizing hours a 10x10 album for the bride and two 6x6 albums for the mothers is complete. It had been a while since I had perused the photos of the Rash's wedding. What a beautiful day it was, obviously. Below are some of the page designs Mr. and Mrs. Rash will enjoy in their album for years to come. Happy almost anniversary to the beautiful couple!

What wedding album isn't complete without a quick look inside the party bus?

Newberry + Nowell

One of my dearest college friends tied the knot last month and I was blessed with the honor of standing along side her the day of the I do's. Before my duties began I caught of few moments of Natalie preparing for one of the most exciting days of her life. She is quite a timeless beauty.

Admiring her favorite white dress.

The same veil her mother wore, her sister-in-law and now...Natalie.

Puppies and Babies

Miss Laurel is a repeat blogging subject. Can you blame me?

In her most recent post she is discovering a dog we know and love, Penny the Pug. She and Penny got along splendidly. Laurel took a nap, Penny took a nap. Laurel lay on her blanket, Penny lay on her blanket too. Laurel sat on the couch, Penny sat on the couch. You would have thought they had known each other from birth. (Laurel's anyway, Penny came first.)

I couldn't resist the urge to pick up my camera and document a few moments they spent at our house together some days ago.

Camera.

I don't care.

Fall Family Photos

A new full-time job has obviously pulled me away from blogging. I know I say I will get better at this every time I post...I am a work in progress I suppose.

At my new full-time job I have met one of the loveliest ladies I have ever known and she, along with her family, entrusted their 2011 family photo shoot to yours truly. I even took my husband along on this one; a real family affair.

We spent a few hours walking all over the family farm finding some great locations for some pretty memorable moments. This is what I took away with me at the end of the day. I am thankful to the whole family for my first official gig in East Tennessee! What a blast!

For blogging purposes I was feeling black and white.

Ever had a little boy that was not willing to have his picture made? Just find a horsey swing and you will be just fine.
