New Day Coming for Shara Lana Photography!!!!!



I am SO excited to announce that Shara Lana Photography is going through some changes. FLOSITES has been working hard at helping me give Shara Lana Photography a new look. A look that reflects me, Shara Lana. Once you see it for yourself, I think those of you that do know me will be totally amazed and those that have not meet me yet, will get a good sense of what I am about. You can get just a little taste of the Yummy Splash page for my Website above, and I say little for a reason. ;) You will have to come back to see what I mean! It is going to be Funky and Fresh, that is what the wonderful and amazing artist Ross from Flosites has pegged it. I have been working with him, or should I say, he has been working very hard for me. He is a a true BLOG-God!!!!! Ross has great vision and has been a true blessing. He has Graciously Guided me in a direction that I was not sure about but he assured me that it would suit my style and personality. After seeing some of the ideas come alive, I have been unable to tame my excitement. You will all agree that Ross is an absolute genus! I can not wait to reveal the new look to you all! Will be VERY VERY SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which Dessert would you choose? "CONTEST"

Let's have a little FUN!!!!!




If all the desserts listed below were sitting in front of you, which

would you choose (sorry, you can only pick one!) This is very

accurate. Pick your dessert, and then look to see what psychiatrists

think about you.



After taking this dessert personality test, let us know which one you picked by

commenting below, do so by clicking on comments at the end of this post.



Here are your dessert choices:



1. Angel Food Cake

2. Brownies

3. Lemon Meringue

4. Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Icing

5. Strawberry Short Cake

6. Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Icing

7. Ice Cream

8. Carrot Cake



No, you can't change your mind once you scroll down . . . so think

carefully what your choice will be. Okay, now that you've made your

choice. . . this is what the research says about you: SCROLL DOWN



No Cheating!





1. ANGEL FOOD CAKE: sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm and

fuzzy items. A little nutty at times. Sometimes you need an ice cream cone

at the end of the day. Others perceive you as being childlike and immature

at times.



2. BROWNIES: you are adventurous, love new ideas and are a champion

of underdogs and a slayer of dragons. When tempers flare up, you whip out

your saber. You are always the oddball with a unique sense of humor and

direction. You tend to be very loyal.



3. LEMON MERINGUE: smooth, sexy and articulate, good with your hands,

you are an excellent after-dinner speaker and a good teacher. But, don't

try to walk and chew gun at the same time. A bit of a diva at times, but

you have many friends.



4. VANILLA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING: fun loving, sassy, humorous, not

very grounded in life, very indecisive and lack motivation. Everyone enjoys being

around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious in making you

mad. However, you are a friend for life.



5. STRAWBERRY SHORT CAKE: romantic, warm, loving. You care about

other people, can be counted on in a pinch and expect the same in return.

Intuitively keen, can be very emotional.



6. CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING: sexy, always ready to give

and receive. Very creative, adventurous, ambitious and passionate. You can

appear to have a cold exterior, but are warm on the inside. Not afraid

to take chances. Will not settle for anything average in life. Love to

laugh.



7. ICE CREAM: you like sports, whether it is baseball, football,

basketball, or soccer. If you could, you would like to participate, but

you enjoy watching sports. You don't like to give up the remote

control. You tend to be self-centered and high maintenance.



8. CARROT CAKE: you are a very fun loving person who likes to laugh.

You are fun to be with, too. People like to hang out with you. You are a

very warm hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many

loyal friends.



So, what do you think? Accurate? I think so, I chose Lemon Meringue, MMmmm, YUMMY!!

Don't forget to post what you chose and I draw a name from all the comments and send

winner a Surprise based on their answer! Good Luck!!!!

Mandi & Josh's Charleston Wedding

This Beautiful Bride is Mandi. She sits at Waterfront Park in front of the Pineapple Fountain with her two adorable daughters, Logan and Avery. Mandi wanted to meet before her Wedding down at the Park for a special session of just her and her girls.

It was so sweet to watch the love that Mandi has for her two girls.


They are absolutely Precious!


I love this one with the three of them on their way to the ceremony down at Battery Park. They all seemed so eager to start this new chapter in their lives.

Down at the Battery, Mandi and Josh had a friend waiting with some peaceful acoustic music.

Avery, you were the prettiest flower girl.
And Logan was the Perfect Junior Bridesmaid too!!! I know your Mama was Proud of you two. Y'all are such well behaved darlings.

And here comes the Bride!!!! Mandi, you did a fantastic job in planning your Romantic Charleston Wedding.

Josh meet Mandi half the way to walk her to the pavilion where Mandi's Dad was waiting to Officiate their Union.

True Southern Charm.

The new Mr & Mrs!!!!!!!!!!!

They left the Battery in a horse drawn carriage for a little quite time alone.

I just loved how all the tourist cheered as the Newlyweds paraded by.

I hope your days ahead will be full of Passion, Love and an undying Commitment for your BEAUTIFUL new family!

This is for Josh's Buddy serving in Iraq for this AWESOME Country. Thank You for all that you do ! Praying for your safe return!!!!

A few detail shots at the reception.
They had gold fish at their reception and the children attending got to take one home!!!! It was such a nice touch and the children were thrilled!

Their cake was so pretty and yummy too! ; )


Congratulations Josh and Mandi!!!
