Weekends | Amy Gentry Photography

I love capturing and sharing treasured moments for the families of my clients, but I rarely share my own treasured moments. One of my families favorite pastimes is camping. Well, I use the term "camping" loosely considering camping for us is a camper in a camp ground not too far from home, but we enjoy it none-the-less! 

 We swim and boat and enjoy other outdoor activities in the warmer weather...

...most days end with ice cream...

...or s'mores.

...we're always sad to leave but we love the time we get to spend together.

Now for the exciting part.... I am really thankful for random.org because as I was putting the list of names into excel I quickly realized I don't remember how to do anything!

I've put all of the names in and they have been randomized into a list. Now for the random number generator...

And the winners are....

There's Something About Fall...

Crisp air, lighting fall scented candles and comfort foods... Mmm.. LOVE 'em! Today I realized that fall is really upon us! It is truly my favorite! I'm really looking forward to some delicious dishes (who doesn't love a good "game day" soup) so I thought I'd share a favorite of mine!
