Diana and Eric contacted me at the beginning of November, but we didn’t have this session until December 19th. I remember the day, because it was the Sunday after I graduated college. I was already on a happy-happy joy-joy kick after graduating, and these two, with all their sweetness, just made the session that much more amazing. :)

We decided to meet in Downtown Clarksville, and we used the Christmas decorations to our advantage in some of these images. The majority of the images were mainly about them, and not decoration oriented, that way they can use these images during any time of the year. They wore bright colors and gorgeous smiles. Eric makes Diana laugh constantly, and we know I love a good laughing photo. Their love comes natural and it was so easy to document. I adored our time together and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them. :) Thanks so much, Diana and Eric! You made my first session after graduating college a memorable one. :)

Happy Thursday! Come back tomorrow for another installment of Friday Five. This time I’ll be sharing a few wedding tips!

    So, minus the Christmas lights, it doesn’t even look like winter time – if they were cold, they hid it really well! :)

Sunday I attended the Hopkinsville Bridal Show. I had brides sign my guestbook to win a FREE bridal session! The winner is:

Chelse P.! Her wedding is September 24th! Chelse, I can’t wait until your bridal session! :) Congratulations!!!!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth. I enjoyed meeting each one of you and hearing about your weddings. :)

On Monday, I wrote about my cooking experiences. Yesterday, I cooked the best chicken and bacon meal EVER. And, I have Paula Deen to thank for it. I told Rick that if I could pick my last meal, this would be it. I wanted to share it with you all because it’s that amazing! And so easy! :) Let me know if you try it and how much you liked it. Because, lets face it, you’re going to love it! :)

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 breasts)
1 (1 pound) package sliced bacon
2/3 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix brown sugar and chili powder. Cover the chicken with the mixture. Place chicken in a baking ban. Lay strips of bacon on the chicken. (You might want to cut the bacon. I didn’t do that, but should have made them smaller pieces. I also had way more bacon left over, so I just fried the leftover bacon and we had more bacon on the side! haha! So, if you don’t like bacon that much, just use less bacon. ;) But who doesn’t like bacon!?!) Then bake for 40-45 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. :)

Here’s a photo of my booth on Sunday:

Happy Wednesday!

Have fun cooking!

  • Frozen Chicken for the Win » Bethany Ann Photography

    […] just let it sit and thaw out, while I cook the bacon. Yes, this recipe called for bacon, just like the other one (Rick really loves bacon). I turned on the oven, got out the baking pan, ingredients, and fried […]

I watch way too much reality TV.

Case in point: I thought that being a housewife meant that I have multiple nannies to watch the kids, have lunch with all my fabulous friends five days a week, and have personal assistants to clean and cook for us. 

Okay, so I didn’t whole heartedly believe this, but those darn Bravo Housewives shows nearly convinced me of it. ;)

After Rick and I got married, I had a lot going on. I had photo shoots to photograph, school to finish, and weddings to edit. Needless to say, I hardly ever cooked dinner. If it were up to me, we would eat a Zaxby’s Grilled House Zalads every night. Knowing this wouldn’t go over well with Rick, I told him that I would cook more often after I graduated college.

Little did I know that it would be over two months since graduating when I would finally begin cooking more than once a week. My saving grace has been www.allrecipes.com. I found a few recipes last week and actually cooked them. Before I would just bookmark the recipe in hopes of trying it. The meals were okay, definitely better than frozen meals, that’s for sure, but I’m really proud of myself. Yah Me! :)

I think my grandmother sensed my cooking woes, because a few weeks ago she gave me this cookbook:

She knows me so well. :) I just love chicken!

Watch out, Rick, you are probably going to be eating a lot of chicken in the next few months. It’s either that or I hire a personal chef! ;)

Happy Monday!

Bethany
