Keeping Up With The Lucas’

Y’all! This month has absolutely flown by at the speed of light!  Our crazy little boy is learning & growing at the same speed.  We enjoyed some off time this month as it’s technically an “off season” month for us this year.  We had the pleasure of shooting 4 weekends of the total 5 last year; however, we are totally fine with having a couple weekends to ourselves & our sweet family!  We got to do a few pretty fun things & got out with the camera a little bit too!!  We hope you enjoy this month’s review!!!

1. We attended an MMA fight here in BIRMINGHAM! It was super fun & we had a little too much fun!

2. We celebrated JULY 4!  We pulled out the family size blow up pool & enjoyed some delicious BBQ at our neighbor’s house!  Jax still isn’t too fond of the water; however, we loved watching his friends Joe & Lula play!

3.  Sweet Lula – Our next door neighbors turned besties’ daughter – TURNED 1!  We celebrated along side her & her family out in the beautiful sunshine!  Jax had his first off road vehicle ride & is now obsessed with all things motorized!

4.  We attended Pursell Farms open house for their gorgeous venue at Hamilton Place!  We had a blast testing the cocktails making sure they were up to par & making sure the food was good… it was all so so so amazing!

5. Momma Clover / Gammie / Sara’s Mom turned XX – you never share a lady’s age – 🙂 I love my sweet Momma and was so happy I got to celebrate the day even if she is a little more reluctant as the years go by!

6.  Momma Lucas / Mimmie / Alex’s Mom turned XX – same reason – 🙂 We had a blast with Alex’s family grabbing some Mexican food & enjoying a little too much salsa and quesadillas!

7. Our very own Katie McKown turned XX – once again … – Oh my gosh our sweet friend we love her so!!!  We also grabbed some tasty queso and dillas for her birthday & ended the dinner with a cookie cake … of which Jax ate an entire slide to himself!  This kid LOVES cookies! & Katie… he was crying & we were about to leave early & then Katie insisted she holds him (YAY for sweet God Parents!) He hushed & just sat there as happy as could be!

8.  My sweet Brother turned 21 … or something like that?! HAHA He likes to work work work work work & so I didn’t get to celebrate him; however, I was cheering him on from my computer screen and wishing we could have spent the day together … if you’re single … he’s still available 🙂

9.  We welcomed some very sweet new brides to our ALW family & we can’t wait for their weddings this year & next year!  We are 4 more than we were a month ago & we couldn’t be more excited to have such support & love!

10.  We had the blessing of shooting 1 sweeter than cupcakes wedding & we are still sending all the congrats to Kelsey & Michael!

11.  We walked along the field of Bryant Denny Stadium while shooting a gorgeous bride to be and her groom! Emerald & Matt are a match made in Heaven & their blog is a must see!  I mean when you can get us into the stadium & breathe in the football champs breeze …. we were smiling from ear to ear the entire time!

12. We did a shoot with Alabama Weddings Magazine & had an absolute blast! It was amazing to work with some new creatives we haven’t had a chance of meeting yet! Per usual we never meet a stranger & these people were some new faces we want to see way sooner than later!  The shoot went great & we can’t wait for everyone to see in their upcoming issue next year!  No pictures of this; however, we will be shouting from the rooftops when the magazine is released!

NEXT MONTH: We have a couple weddings & a couple more engagement sessions 🙂 We are traveling to Portland & we are pretty sure there will be some other last minute funs added to the list! Can’t wait to share! Thank you so much for reading!
