Insta-Friday [#2]

I'm linking up again with Jeannett to share my week in Instagram photos. You are getting double in this post though because I missed last week. So, here we go. . .

I ordered some prints to frame for a wall in my office. I was amazed by how quick my order arrived. I use mpix to print images for my clients as well as my personal photos. They rock. The end. 

Yellow tulips are some of my favorites

FINALLY!!! A dunkin' donuts in short pump! And a drive-thru nonetheless. 

I like starbucks, but I would pick my dd iced coffee over that fanciness ANYDAY.

That surprise storm that rolled through central virginia on Monday hit our area hard. 

This tree fell down [and took a couple power/cable lines with it] right down the street from our house. 

We were without power, tv and internet for a few days but we are back up and running now. 

The fridge needed a good clean-out anyway. 

Day 2. No progress on the whole tree-removal thing. 

I ordered a new camera last week!!! 

I timed it perfectly so that it would arrive before we leave for the beach this weekend. 

I got a little worried that the large "road closed" sign at the end of our street would interfere with my plans, but this box arrived right on time! Thanks Adorama!

I got treated to a pedicure on wednesday. 

I have since taken most of the polish off of my skin, but I am still rocking the pink on the left, blue on the right look.

And the flip flop tan.

Congratulations to Janice & John!

I hope you enjoy your photos and your honeymoon in Jamaica!

Here are just a few from their wedding last night. 

Insta-Friday

I have been noticing more and more link-up posts/parties on some of the blogs I follow and I think I kind of like it. I have been following Lindsey over at The Pleated Poppy for a while now [she's a home-schooling mom of 3 who throws the most creative parties AND started her own at-home business as kind of an accident, you should check her out, she is pretty amazing] and she links up with Life Rearranged for InstaFriday.

I'm new to the whole InstaGram thing, but I figured why not jump right in and link up with them too. Its a way to share the iPhone pics that I have taken throughout the week and give you a little idea of what I have been up to. Of course, you could just follow me on InstaGram or Twitter [@stephfoxphoto] and see my photos there without having to wait til the end of the week. Hopefully, this will also get me back into blogging more often. I have lots of ideas for posts, just need to sit down and start typing.

So, here we go with some of my photos from this past week...

Last Sunday at the Richmond Squirrels game

At work this week, I put together another plasma car. I think this brings my total to 4, I don't even need to look at the instructions anymore. I seriously recommend this toy to anyone with young children, or to anyone who buys gifts for young children. It is amazingly fun [for kids and adults!]

On Saturday, I surprised Josh, I tried to surprise Josh for our anniversary. 

I planned a day trip to Yorktown and Williamsburg. Driving into Yorktown, it is just a wide open road with no painted lines or anything like that. In most parts, you can pass in the middle lane area. 

Crazy. 

We had crab cakes for lunch at a restaurant on the beach in Yorktown and then took a walk down the beach. We came across a wedding being set-up and I couldn't help myself. 

Josh was able to get most of the details out of me before we even got in the car, but I was able to keep one thing a surprise. We went for a brewery tour at Williamsburg AleWerks which ended with a tasting of about 8 beers. I'm not usually a fan of darker beers but the darker beers at Ale Werks were coffee flavored, so of course I enjoyed them. 

 Yesterday we continued the house painting project and finished the last two bathrooms on our list.

last minute gift idea [father's day 2012]

Father's Day is a little over a week away, have you taken care of the special dad in your life?

No worries, I've got you taken care of.

Grab your kids and meet me at the park, we'll create something like this:

I'll bring the letters [we could spell out DAD or I <3 U] and take care of printing your photos, all you need to do is purchase a frame. We would shoot for about 30 minutes, so add in a quick trip to Target and you've got an amazing gift for dad in less than an hour.

Already have your fathers day gift taken care of? Email this idea to your husband, it's never too early to start planning for Mother's Day 2013.

I have available session times on the following days in the Richmond area:
-Sunday, June 10th
-Monday, June 11th
-Friday, June 15th

e-mail me to set up your session time. I will print and have photos delivered to you by Saturday, June 16th. Seriously people, it doesn't get much better [or easier] than that!
