On Vacation


Hi everyone, Brad and I will be out of the office until Thursday August 28th. Brad’s family from Tennessee came to visit so we all headed down to Daytona Beach for a few days to enjoy some sun and relaxation. … Continue reading

Storm Watchers


I hope all my fellow Floridians are staying dry during these last few days of wet drizzle produced by super slow moving Tropical Storm Fay. She has been moving at 2mph yesterday and today and Brad likes to say he … Continue reading

    ohana photographers-david and kimi : holy crap attack those clouds look ssssscary. bahahaha! that thing was an actual color before? have an awesome weekend guys!!
  • Sentimental Visions Photography, 08.22.08:
    Sentimental Visions Photography : OOO today was worse than yesterday!!! We've been without power for most of yesterday and today...been watching trees fall, limbs crack...scary!
    ~christina
  • Tracy, 08.23.08:
    Tracy : Those clouds are creepy... I stayed in my house so I never really saw them.
    And the harness is hilarious... that's why we have a black one for our Yorkie! : )
  • Mel, 08.29.08:
    Mel : I know... its hard to believe that harness didn't always look like something that was vomited up by the lords of the underworld. I would buy Lucy something more dirt defying if I wasn't determined to keep her in pink all the time just so people stop calling her a boy. Apparently if you own a black dog its an automatic boy. Whoda thunk it?!

Baby Andrew’s Arrival


Early Monday morning on August 4th I got a call from Maranda informing that her water had broken and she was officially in labor. Immediately, I collected all my camera gear and headed to the hospital. From early on in … Continue reading


  • Brandie, 08.19.08:
    Brandie : What a tear jerker. Beautiful pictures, something to be treasured forever.
  • Anonymous, 08.19.08:
    Anonymous : That was absolutely incredible. I'm in tears over how beautiful that experience was, and you captured it in all it's glory. Great job.
  • Kelly Hendricks, 08.19.08:
    Kelly Hendricks : Absolutely breathtaking. Brought back memories of when I had the boys. Kudos to the Mommy on a job very well done! Mel - yet again stunning photos.

    Melissa : Wow this is beautiful. I cried

Hurricane Fay?


So scattered somewhere between Michael Phelps winning gold and Michael Phelps setting new world records there has been a tropical storm brewing out in the Caribbean Sea. Brad found out about this a few days ago and overnight morphed into … Continue reading


  • poopie!, 08.18.08:
    poopie! : frightening how much that reminds me of one of ross' facial expressions.

    and i srsly lol'ed at those pictures. my favorite is the arrested development boxed set clutched firmly to the body!
  • ohana photographers-david and kimi, 08.18.08:
    ohana photographers-david and kimi : holy crap that is thee dang funniest thing i've seen. i cannot stop laughing. the helmet and umbrella have killed me dead. this post just plain rules! you guys are too funny! yes! must save the arrested development discs!! "nichael was worried"
  • Jess Cumbie, 08.18.08:
    Jess Cumbie : ahhhh hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
  • Corinna Hoffman Photography, 08.18.08:
    Corinna Hoffman Photography : Omigosh--this is hilarious!! :-D We're moving in to your house if Hurricane Fay is passing by JAX. ;-)
  • Brittany, 08.18.08:
    Brittany : hehe ya'll are so funny!!! Miss you Mel !!
  • Star, 08.18.08:
    Star : Absolutely hilarious!!
  • Kelly Hendricks, 08.18.08:
    Kelly Hendricks : You are so right on being a Floridian. You should see the people up here in GA - tell them that there is the possibility for some ice/scattered snow and all hell breaks loose. I might even venture to say that it's WORSE than the preparations for a hurricane. It's downright impossible to even find a spot in the Publix parking lot!
  • Erin Haines, 08.18.08:
    Erin Haines : Being a Tennessean myself I fully concur with Brad's prep...I'm really bummed I'm going to miss all the Hurricane fun this week! We could of had a Hurrican party (obviously in your tub) with some real yummy fruity Hurricane's and canned food...too bad! Just make sure my dog doesn't float away if it hits in the afternoon! :)
  • Mel, 08.18.08:
    Mel : hahaha... Kelly I totally understand. People in Nashville were pretty much the same way when the threat of snow was upon us. One time school even got canceled for heavy rain. I recall walking through inches of water to get from class to class down here. Apparently we are more water proof?

    Hey Baxters and Heather!!! The Arrested Development series is vital to Brad's survival. If he had a Segway it would have been in the tub too. I'm pretty sure he wants to be Gob when he grows up.

    Cory you and Bobby are welcome here any time... hope you like green bean casserole! ;)

    Hey Brittany... I miss you too girl. We need to get together soon for a play date! :)

    Jess - I couldn't have said it better myself.
  • Mel McLellan, 08.18.08:
    Mel McLellan : hehehe! I love that Arrested Development is the only worldly possession worth saving. :) What about Lucy??
  • Val McCormick Photography, 08.18.08:
    Val McCormick Photography : ROTFLMAO, this has got to be the most hilarious post yet!
  • mybridalconnection, 08.18.08:
    mybridalconnection : LOL... that made my day today....thanks...Those facial expressions are priceless.....

    Too bad he doesn't have a can opener....because it's gonna be really hard to open those cans with his teeth...
  • Nicole Polk, 08.18.08:
    Nicole Polk : omg, that's hysterical. i love it! :)
  • mark mize, 08.19.08:
    mark mize : dood, where's your life preserver? I think the bathtub is the last place I want to be when this place floods. I'm packing tonight and heading for the hills...wait...there are no hills in FL?
  • jaimesmithphotography, 08.19.08:
    jaimesmithphotography : You guys are so fun! Love the pics...hysterical!
  • Mel, 08.20.08:
    Mel : Erin... don't worry I'll be sure to save Jackson. I kinda like the little guy. ;)

    Mel... we tried to save Lucy, but sadly she has this fear of the bath tub... not sure why something about hating baths I think. I hope she can swim... cuz Fay likes to produce floods it seems.

    So it seems Brad is missing a few other vital pieces to his survival... can opener, life preserver, Lucy, ME!!! Eh well... you can't really blame him. He is a newbie at the whole hurricane preparedness thing.
