I’m super excited to be spending a week with my best friend, Jordan and his family in Casa Palmeras, Mexico for 7 days! I’m actually on the plane right now. I set this blog up yesterday release this morning. This will be the last trip I take as a single man, better soak up the señoritas while I can, haha. Leslie knows I’m just kidding. I’ll be taking lots of photos to share with you all! Stay tuned!

Hope it’s not too late for a Tuesdays with Eli blog post…Today was a very busy day for me. Lots of running around and craziness, but it ended on an awesome note. I finally got to shoot an engagement session similar to the “boat scene” in The Notebook. More on that later. Can’t wait to blog those. Well after we survived the alligators in the swamp, we decided to let the sun drop down and take on the deadly Arkansas Mosquitoes. I’m pretty brave when it comes to most environments, but it only took about two minutes in the misquotes for me to say “That’s a wrap!” Here is one shot I got. Those are NOT stars, they’re deadly Arkansas Mosquitos. Enjoy!

Well, I finally did it. Months before my wedding, I bought my first big vehicle. I’m pretty excited about it because now I don’t have to borrow my sister’s car anymore when I need more space for a big shoot or a bridal fair. Plus it’s got extra space for my future with my new bride. Now I can find all those cool locations that we unreachable with my low ground clearance Acura. Here’s a shot a grabbed today before getting kicked of property. Not sure why the property owner had a problem with my using his junk as a backdrop, haha.

Last week I joined my family in our annual Murray family vacation. We rent out some cabins on Table Rock lake and spend our days relaxing in the sun. Lots of wakeboarding, swimming, tubing, boating, cookouts, and volleyball. Those events are definitely my favorite. I pretty much live all winter waiting for those family vacation volleyball games, but I decided to share with you guys on this Tuesdays with Eli what the nights look like at the lake. After the sun went down we decided to do a little light writing just for kicks. You don’t see stars like this in Little Rock. We used our iPhones and the golf cart for the crazy light effects lights and of course God’s amazing star filled sky as a backdrop. Enjoy!

Well, I’m definitely busy now. I’m booked every Saturday in June. I just wanted to once again thank all of my past and future brides for letting me be a part of their big day. I love my job, and I know that I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without the support of family and friends and of course my couples who book me! Thanks so much. This week I am on a little mini vacation with my family at the lake. We take the same week every year and the whole family gets together. Tons of wakeboarding during the day, intense volleyball tournaments in the evening, and Cookouts every night. We are on Table Rock Lake in MO. I have lots of wonderful childhood memories there. I’ve set this blog up last week to release today, because I am disconnected for a few days. Got to get away from the computer for a bit. Sorry for the hairy legs, just thought you guys might enjoy my view, haha.
