This week at The Bloom Forum, the weekly theme is structure. I had a really hard time with this until I remembered we were going to watch my nephew play football tonight. He goes to school where I finished high school. Of course, he's only seven but loves every minute of playing football. Anyway, the kids play at the old high school football field. My high school football memories are not at this field because they had built a new stadium at the new high school by the time I was in high school. We had so much fun at the football games and we have so many great memories. I imagine this stadium and field holds many wonderful memories for students who were much older than me. It's great that the field is still being used today for the kids. Here are a just a few shots I captured tonight of the old stadium. Enjoy!!!

Now, hop on over to Jessica's blog: Jessica Marchetti - Dallas Lifestyle Photographer...I know you will love her photo this week!!!

Patriotism | 52 on Friday { Jackson, MS Photographer }

This week's theme is Patriotism on The Bloom Forum! And what a fitting theme as we remember those lives forever changed 10 years ago. It's hard to believe it has been that long. We traveled to Auburn, AL for the MS State vs. Auburn game this past weekend. I took this photo while the Auburn University Marching Band was performing "God Bless America." They perform this song prior to every game (along with our National Anthem)...but, as you know, this weekend was extra special! To all of you who fight or have fought to secure the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, thank you!

May God continue to bless America!

Now...hop on over to Katie - Kate Suzanne Photography - Heber Springs Photographer, Little Rock Photographer and check out her fabulous photo for the week!

Cell Phone Photo 36/52 - 52 on Friday { Jackson, MS Photographer }

When I found out this week's theme on The Bloom Forum was cell phone photo, I knew exactly which one I wanted to share! This photo is my favorite picture...ever. Not because of anything technical but everything sentimental! This is the first photograph I took of our son and I just happened to take it with my phone. We were leaving the hospital with him. Sounds a little odd unless you know the entire story. We flew across the country to get our sweet boy last December. He was two days old in the picture and absolutely perfect! You can read about our adoption story on our family blog. But here's our sweet boy...all 7 pounds, 19.5 inches of perfection!

Now, head on over to Katie's blog: - Kate Suzanne Photography - Heber Springs Photographer / Little Rock Photographer to see her photo for this week's theme! I know you'll love it!!
