We have had a busy weekend to say the least! Since Thursday, we've shot two big family sessions at the lake (different lakes), a regular portrait session, a rehearsal dinner, and an incredible wedding (more on that later). However, I have been waiting since last fall for the Pepper Place farmer's market to open again. I have what you would probably call an obsession with farmer's markets and this is my favorite one in Birmingham. The colors, the flowers, the veggies, the people, the dogs, the morning, some music and art thrown in. The market is held every Saturday morning and this past weekend was literally the first time I have had an open morning since they opened this year. I am a big fan of seizing the moment so I took my tired and too much work to do self downtown anyway and enjoyed every second. I came home with two of my top five favorite things--zinnias and homegrown tomatoes. I spent way too much on both of them, especially since they are both currently growing in my backyard (but way too slowly!).
