Sarah and Zach let Amelia model for me last weekend….she was precious, and unlike most models, she actually ate in the middle of the shoot.
also here are all the photos from the shoot for any members of the roberts/phillips families that might be interested. for anyone not a member of the family, it’s a link to my first full album of baby/family portraiture, which i’m looking to develop into a little bit of a side business.

soooo, as a wedding gift to us, drew and blake had given us money towards attending the L2L Valentine’s Day Retreat in helen, ga. that’s right, helen, the little bavarian village in north georgia known for its oktoberfest, cabbage patch um…patch, and the chicken dance. it’s also a very beautiful area (once you get away fromt he kitsch and the crowd kitsch attracts) with waterfalls, mountains and a TON of good hiking (me being lazy, i’d ask if there is such a thing, but lillis is certain there is). here we are on a hike – by we i mean lillis, the better part of we.

and lillis and blake at the nacooche restaurant (which is a mighty fine establishment).
and drew and blake.
the weekend was a really good one, and one in which we learned a pretty good bit. we still don’t know enough about what we don’t know as a married couple to have benefited fully, but it is good to learn more about some of the pitfalls into which others have fallen and to be reminded about the need to put conscious effort (rather than just my fabulous unconscious efforts) towards building and strengthening our marriage. it was also amazing to see the older men in the organization who put so much of their effort into helping mentor others and grow them into real Christian businessmen and strong husbands to their wives.
also, another highlight for lillis was that we got to stop and get “sonic” on the way in AND the way out.

This was a playlist I pulled together for Lil. I wanted her to get to hear a few artists she hadn’t, but keep it pretty low key and mostly upbeat.
