IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW THIS ABOUT ME, I'M GOING TO LET YOU IN ON A LITTLE SECRET... 👇

Hi! I'm LaVonda and I'm unapologetically a workaholic. Staying busy and being productive brings me such joy. I am a task oriented person. Hand writing out a to do list and physically crossing things off of it, is pure magic to me. I love it more than a kid loves candy.

Notice I said that I hand write out my to do list. I prefer a physical list much more than one created that is typed. There is something special about putting pencil/pen to paper. Am I right or is it just me that feels this way?

A MOMENT FOR ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BRIDES. Even though it was pouring down rain most of the day, nothing could dampen this woman's spirit. She was radiant inside and out.

BEING A BRIDE IS GOOD. BEING A WIFE IS GREAT. BEING A MOTHER IS THE BEST. Happy Mother's Day.

So many happy tears on this day! These two didn't just marry, they became a family on their wedding day. After they exchanged vows, she exchanged vows to her new step-son. The entire day was absolutely precious! I'm so honored I got to be a part of it all.

Two things I love waking up early for: extra me time and engagement SUNRISE sessions. In my opinion, it has a very different look and feel than sunset. I love sunset, but sunrise is fantastic. This couple was so great to work with and I adored meeting their Rhodesian Ridgeback pup. I'd never seen one before, but she is gorgeous. Don't you think?

NATURAL LIGHT ISNT ALWAYS AVAILABLE. That is why it's important to work with a photographer that knows about to create stunning images without it.

It rained nearly the entire day of this wedding and it was misting when I took this shot. The ceremony was late in the afternoon on a day when the sun is gone by 5:00. No sunlight mixed with heavy, dark grey clouds made a very dark environment. But this couple hadn't seen each other before the ceremony and we needed couple's portraits. So I whipped out my LED light and came up with this beauty.

Tell me in the comments what you think.

One of my favorite weddings this year was this one. Not only was the couple a dream to work with (I mean look how photogenic they are), but the venue had amazing sights and the staff was fantastic. The venue was brand new this year, and this was the second or third wedding that they've hosted. I'm glad I got to be a part of it.

READ CAPTION! Pics with Santa & a GIVEAWAY!

If you're like most of us, this holiday season has kept you BUSY. And maybe you haven't had a chance to take the kids to see Santa. Don't fear. There is still time.

Mark your calendar to come to RSRVD (Reserved) Event Studio at 826 Cpt Joe Fulghum Dr. Murfreesboro, TN 37129 on December 23rd, between 10-12. You and/or your child(ren) can enjoy hot chocolate, tour Murfreesboro's brand new event space and have a professional photo taken by me. As long as time allows, there will be a small gallery of images for you to choose from. You will choose your favorite to download for free and have the option to purchase the rest.

But in the spirit of Christmas, I'm going to GIVE ONE FAMILY the entire gallery for free. Enter to win by following my page (LaVonda Gale Photography) and RSRVD page and tagging three people. For every additional person (outside of the three) you will receive an extra entry.

IMPORTANT EVENT INFO: Because it's so close to Christmas, Santa has a hard stop at 12:00. Any children still waiting to have pictures at 12, will unfortunately miss the opportunity because Santa has to scurry off to prepare for Christmas Eve. For the best chances of missing Santa, I recommend arriving by 11:30/11:45 at the latest.

If you're like me and have been super busy this Christmas season, you probably haven't had much time to do anything. With busy moms in mind, Kelsea Dawson and I are hosting a last minute Christmas event for you and your kiddos to see Santa, sip hot cocoa, and check out Murfreesboro's brand new event space.

Another day, another BLESSING! Life is busy and crazy and chaotic at times, but I have to remind myself that it's also beautiful and a blessing to be here with our loved ones and to see all the beauty God has put into this world. As I age, I know it's moments like in this picture that I'm going to be reminiscing. I am so thankful for my husband and my daughter and our life together. I pray that God will continue to bless us with moments of quality time like this.

As we are nearing the end of October, Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Count your blessings and be thankful for what you have and the space that God has put into your life.

What are you most thankful for. Tell me in the comments below.
