FINALLY, our own local Farmers Market coming!

June 24, 2009 – 10:38 pm

My dear friend, Bea, just sent me an email that made me leap off my couch flipping over 6 times in utter sheer joy! Ok, so maybe I wasn’t doing flips but I did get excited enough to which my kids eagerly wanted to know why I was so happy.

We finally have our own local farmers market coming! This Sunday will be the first GRAND OPENING Farmers Market. There is nothing that frustrates me the most then spending high dollar on produce to only come home and find out it doesn’t taste good, went bad or just flat out isn’t juicy when it’s suppose to be!

My kids and I will definitely be at this grand opening for I am ecstatic about buying fresh fruits and vegetables. Just thought I’d spread the good news to all my local friends.

Date: THIS Sunday, June 28th, 2009
Time: 2pm – 6pm (rain or shine)
Location: Whole Foods Parking Lot; 10601 San Jose Blvd, Jacksonville FL.

First 500 customers will receive a free reusable Cheryl Crow bag. You can never have enough bags!

what a great thing it was to buy fresh produce! We came home with fresh tomatoes, blueberries and juicy peaches! I believe Whole Foods will have the Farmers Market every Sunday!

Family Time at the Beach

June 23, 2009 – 12:54 am

It’s always great when I have the chance to photograph a family more than once! I love how I get to know my clients more this way. I met the Prieto family just last year before Christmas time by doing their family photos. I will never forget Mani for she stopped by and gave me a Panera Bread gift card because at the time, I was so sick and she wanted to do something nice for me. It warmed my heart so much that I will never forget what she did for me.

Well just two nights ago I was blessed to work with Mani and her beautiful family again. It’s great to see how much her kids have grown. I also was able to meet her sister and her two children as well. Whenever I feel like my life is so busy and I don’t have the energy to pick up my camera again, the minute I see happy faces I just light up all over. All the wonderful people I get to meet through my job fills my heart and soul with happiness. Thank to you all for giving me a chance to be a part of your lives by capturing those that mean the most to you.
