Love, baby, and yoga. :)

So the maternity shoot I did this weekend turned into an amazing couples yoga shoot!  I am completely in awe of what the human body can do at 33 weeks pregnant!  I am so happy for these two lovebirds to welcome a baby girl or boy into their lives.  Can't wait to take some family yoga pics once baby arrives!  CONGRATS!

The land of milk and honey...or rather milk and ice cream. :)

We spent the last few weekends driving around rural south Georgia and finally made it all the way over to Dothan, Alabama.  Fun facts: Newton, GA had a population of 851 at the 2000 census. The courthouse is this huge and beautiful red brick building from the early 20th c that is pretty incongruent with what seems like a tiny town full of abandoned businesses and damaged homes.  Apparently, once upon a time Newton was once a thriving little town, but it's been hit by a series of natural disasters as it sits in a flood plane and is prone to tornadoes.  Re: the peanut in the bathtub - Something like a quarter of the US peanut production comes from the lower Alabama area and so there's a lot of peanut-themed art and marketing.  There was a sexy peanut in a half-shell statue too, but the third camera I brought (and old Agfa) wasn't working properly and so I lost the image.  

I still haven't figured out what these tags are all about.  They're on the side of an abandoned institutional/industrial building in Dothan.  The sign says Dothan Industries: Supporting the Host Family.  My thoughts are that this was maybe a school for wayward youth or some sort of jail diversion work camp.  The graffiti leads me to believe someone died here.  Perhaps at the hands of the police?  I can't find anything about the building on the internet.  But, it's certainly creepy, I'll give it that.  :)

Horsing around, in more ways than one!

Jared and I have been tootling around GA and Alabama for the past few weekends.  We've been having a lot of fun and getting silly with our inner children.  I am so grateful to have a partner who is kind, fun, and shares my interests!!  We met some animals on our travels too, including horses, a mean-spirited pony, and whole herd of goats who were totally in love with me until they realized I didn't have an apple.  :)

I shot with my dad's old Minolta X700 and the Recesky TLR that Jared built.  Double exposures are so much fun!
