The K Family ~ Ashford Family Photographer

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 21:58:00 +0000

On Sunday afternoon, I had the chance to get together with the K family for some family photos. The weather cooperated (it was foggy and chilly that morning!) and it was a beautiful sunny and fairly warm afternoon for some family photos! Shannon was our doula for Adi's birth (if you're in need of a good doula, check out her website or let me know and I'll get you in touch with her -- she's...

Adi, Week by Week

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 21:18:00 +0000

So I'm completely stealing this idea from John and Sherry over at Young House Love (whose blog is awesome, so if you haven't been reading it, check it out. It's a mix of DIY, life, and craziness that's just wonderful). Anyways, the idea is this: weekly pictures of Adi, to show how much she's changing from week to week. Hopefully, it'll be fun and a great way to remember all those silly...

How Pinteresting...

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 20:39:00 +0000

Because I'm stuck on bedrest, some things I'm loving on Pinterest lately: Because I'm a dork. (From here) Fall prettiness. (From here) Yummy pumpkin pie bites. (From here) To remind me to capture the details. (From here) Yup. It's pretty random. And that's okay. :) PS -- Pinteresting is totally Jared's word. And I totally stole it... :)

A Nursery Update

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 19:49:00 +0000

Blogger is telling me that my last post was August 10th... In some ways, I'm not at all sure how that can be true, and it others, I can't believe it's only been that long since I've posted. Meatball is still cooking (haha, bad pun, I know) but should be arriving sometime in the next week. She is, afterall, due on Sunday (the 25th). I honestly don't know how much I'll be posting after...

Henry ~ Ashford Baby Photographer

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 21:37:00 +0000

Let me introduce you to Henry. Henry is a VERY serious little man, not to be taken lightly. He's also my newest nephew and now that we've moved, he and his big sister live just an hour from us which means we get to see them much more than before! While we were visiting last weekend, Henry and I had a mini-photo shoot. He's two months old now, and has the most serious expressions! Enjoy this...

Nursery Update

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 00:24:00 +0000

Remember that "to-do" list I had for the nursery? It went something like this: 1. Paint 2. Crib and changing table 3. Wall art 4. Lighting 5. Rug 6. Organize clothes/toys Number one has (mostly) been crossed off of the list, as of last night. Here's what we started with: The original color of the nursery was a mustardy yellow that looked perpetually dirty. Not only is...

Mystic

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:18:00 +0000

It's been a busy few weeks here, getting everything moved into the house and a trip to PA for the twin's first birthday party. So with our anniversary this past weekend, Jared and I decided to take a break from house things and head to Mystic Seaport on Saturday. Neither of us had ever been there, so we didn't know what to expect, but figured we'd have fun one way or another! Jared's...

Just an update...

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 14:28:00 +0000

We've been in Connecticut for almost two weeks now... it's not quite feeling like home yet, but it's definitely starting to grow on me. :) Most everything is unpacked, now I'm just in the arrange/rearrange/re-rearrange state of things, trying to find out where things fit in this new house. Oh, and planning for Miss Meatball's nursery! We have some pretty definite ideas thanks to a...

Packing and other musings

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 14:56:00 +0000

I've been packing. And purging. And packing some more. And donating. And cleaning (well, kinda). And packing some more. The walls are now mostly bare. The closets are empty except for the clothes we'll wear the next two weeks (is there any good way to pack hangers without ending up with a complete tangled mess???). The bookshelf is bookless. And my house is a disaster. Really, is there any tidy...

Sarah Reed Photography is....

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Sat, 28 May 2011 00:22:00 +0000

...moving! That's right, we're up and leaving Florida the end of June, heading to Connecticut. Jobs and the upcoming birth of our little one are prompting a move to be closer to family and into a more permanent position for me. So I thought in the light of us leaving Florida, which is bittersweet, I would leave you with a few lists... Things I love about Florida: 1. My friends. Really....

Doug & Becca ~ Engaged!

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Wed, 25 May 2011 11:11:00 +0000

Let me tell you something -- Sunday was HOT. Even Sunday evening. But Doug and Becca toughed it out in the heat and we all had a great time for their engagement photos at Kanapaha Botanical Gardens (where they're getting married next March!). These two were so much fun to take pictures of -- so in love and happy! Thanks to Wendy for the use of the parasol! :) I love...

The best picture ever

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Thu, 12 May 2011 00:06:00 +0000

Warning: This is post was written by a super emotional hormonal pregnant lady... May contain inappropriate amounts of gushiness. I know how this is going to sound. But seriously. Seriously. This. is. the. best. picture. EVER. That's my bebe in there. All perfect with her tiny toes and little hands. Yes, she may look like a skinny little alien right now, but that little person is alive,...

Nursery Dreaming

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 11:27:00 +0000

So not only have a lot of my friends been having children lately, but a few weeks ago, Jared and I found out that we are expecting too! "Meatball" is due the end of September. Since we don't know what house we'll be in at that point, my nursery planning is quite limited right now. On top of that, we don't know if Meatball is a boy or a girl, so that limits things a little as well. Although I must...

Just because

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 01:17:00 +0000

I'm blessed that I live on an old farm where the grass grows tall around the house and the wild flowers bloom every spring. I took a quick trip up to one of the front fields this afternoon to take a few shots of these pretty little purple flowers that are just covering a few areas of the field.... See the dark blurry area in the lower right of this photo? It was...

Baby Owen ~ Gainesville Newborn Photograher

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 11:16:00 +0000

Ahhh, babies!! :) They're so wonderful and sweet. There's nothing like that good clean baby smell (note: I did say clean.... babies don't always smell lovely!) and that soft, soft skin! You may remember Kelly and Mort from their maternity session a few weeks ago. Well, baby Owen was born on Tuesday the 5th, and I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with them on Saturday to capture some...

Alex & Aleska, Sneak Peek

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 10:51:00 +0000

Last weekend I second shot a wedding with the ever wonderful Wendy, which was super sweet and fun! Alex and Aleska got married at the Baughman Center on campus and the reception was held at the Village Center in Haile Plantation. Everything was lovely! A few shots from Aleska's portraits... What little girl doesn't dream of a lovely big dress to twirl in on her wedding...

For the Love ~ Under the Lights

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 10:36:00 +0000

Right, so that blogging I promised you? Here it is! At least the first bit of it. So awhile back the ladies of For the Love got together downtown for an "Under the Lights" photo shoot. Basically, just practicing shooting in low light with whatever ya got -- flash, no flash, whatever! We met at Maude's, wandered around the Sun Center and then made our way to Sakura, which is a fabulous little...

Nate & Meagan ~ Gainesville Portrait Photographer

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 01:16:00 +0000

So I know I promised these awhile ago... let's just say it's been an interesting few weeks! Seems like as soon as I get home, get dinner and sit down to edit, I'm asleep on the couch. Anyways, more from Nate and Meagan's amazing shoot. The fun thing about concept and styled shoots is that I can edit in new and fun ways. So here are a few of my...

It's been how long??

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 12:33:00 +0000

Yeah, so just call me a slacker now. Except that I really do have good excuses... really. None of this "the dog ate my homework" type stuff either... so where have I been? Why has my blog gotten slightly dusty? Let's see... since the last blog post I have had one amazing concept shoot (put together by the lovely ladies at Anwen Elizabeth Photography, Chrissy Rose Photography and myself), have...

Kelly ~ Gainesville Maternity Photographer

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 13:00:00 +0000

Yesterday morning I had the absolute pleasure of visiting with my friends Kelly and Mort for Kelly's maternity photos. Kelly is a fellow UF Animal Sciences alum and horse enthusiast. While it was a bit chilly outside and the horses were a bit too hairy (they grow thick coats here in Florida too!) to include them in the maternity photos, we did include Sierra and Otto, Kelly and Mort's two dogs....

Friday randomness

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 13:00:00 +0000

Some randomness for your Friday: I'm currently reading working my way through Madame Bovary.... it's one of those books I promised myself I would read but I'm just not loving it. We're starting season four of The Tudors. So far, Catherine of Aragon is my favorite queen. My laborador sheds more than any dog has a right to....but I still love her. Speaking of dogs, both need baths and...

Lens love....

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 23:01:00 +0000

So I received my new Sony 24-70mm, f2.8 lens in the mail this afternoon... And oh, I do believe I'm in love... Well, I know I am that, but let me tell you, I'm not really sure how I've lived without this lens for so long. So first, for the non-technical people reading this blog, let me give you a brief introduction to this lens. The 24-70mm part means how far it can zoom. This range is...

Sarah & Lisa ~ Daytona Beach Recital Photographer

noreply@blogger.com (Sarah) — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 12:41:00 +0000

I love my family. We all have unique talents and generally aren't afraid to share them with the world (for better or worse!). Unfortunately, because we live so far apart from the majority of our family, Jared and I often don't get to participate in the fun goings-on. (Not sure if that's a word, but for today, I'm making it a word. So use it often; tomorrow it probably won't count.) So naturally I...
