Everyday Moments

"Colors are the smiles of nature." Leigh Hunt. (original photography by Sheri & Bill) Then we saw it: a bush so vibrantly pink it looked like it won a bet with a flamingo. Sheri: I took this shot at the Botanical Gardens. These friend-seeking leaves were smiling at me, wanting my attention and I didn’t refuse their call – I did my best to capture the heart of our encounter. Bill: Something about that neon shrub and Sheri’s reaction to it that cracked my cynical shel

Have a Clear Point of View - Sheri & Bill (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) There’s something reassuring about a lighthouse. It doesn’t try to be everything to everyone. It simply stands tall, shines brightly, and does its job: to guide, to warn, and to stay focused. That’s the beauty of a clear point of view. When we know where we stand, what we value, and where we’re heading, everything gets simpler. A clear point of view, like a lighthouse, helps cut through the fog

A Smile is a Curve - Sheri & Bill (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) A smile is a curve that can set everything straight. Okay, okay…we know the smiles in our photo aren’t technically real, but when we spotted these two cuties, they seemed to be grinning back at us! So, when we brought our happy image home, we took a little creative license, enhancing the smiles we knew were there if nature had allowed. Sheri: Smiles are contagious. When someone flashes a genuine grin,

Friends forever...You're the peanut butter to my jelly! (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) Peanut butter and jelly are the ultimate comfort food duo, like best friends who always have your back.

Bill: Jelly, on the other hand, is the playful sidekick. Sweet, fruity, and bursting with joy. Jelly is the friend who makes

"Friendship is a strong bridge that spans the distance between hearts." (Sheri & Bill) (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) Friendship is a bridge that connects us in ways we never quite expect but always appreciate. Friends are our partners in crime, our sounding boards, and our support system, all wrapped up in one perfectly imperfect package! Sheri: Friends make life’s journey a whole lot more enjoyable. They provide safety and stability

"Whatever you are, be a good one." Abe Lincoln ... (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) “Whatever you are be a good one” Abe Lincoln are wise words from our 16th President. Whether you're a butcher, baker, or candlestick maker, why not shoot for the stars? Imagine being the best tennis player, best friend, or author of clever stories. Whatever you are, be good at it! The roots of your confidence can then grow like a water lily—deep beneath the surface, invisible to the nak

Favorite memories are like flowers in a garden."

I was talking with Jenn Lovell of “Lil’ Piece Gift Shop”, who creates person

Color Me Happy - Original photography by Sheri & Bill “Color me happy” ….” (Sheri & Bill) Photographers and artists know the superpower of color—it’s like emotional Wi-Fi, influencing our thoughts, moods, and even what we order for dessert. Seriously, cherry or blueberry pie? Decisions, decisions! How do you use color in your life? Are you painting your walls in calming blues, or are you one of those bold types rocking bright orange accent walls? Do you drive a sleek red spor

It's always time to connect! Sheri & Bill (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) It’s Always Time To Connect (Sheri & Bill) Human connection, when done properly, is an addictive stimulant and stress reliever. From the moment of birth, we demand the presence of a caregiver—proof that our brains are wired for survival and social connection is primal. As we grow, we discover that even the most talented among us can’t achieve much without the social skills to connect with others

A World Filled With Music (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) A world filled with music… Music is such a big part of our lives, as we have shared entertaining and recording music together for the past twelve years.

Bill: Listening to this waterfall reminded me of the movie “August Rush” w

Simply Fall - A single Camelia blossom at Atlanta Botanical Gardens Gainesville (Original photography by Sheri & Bill) Simply Fall…… Like most folks, we have moments each autumn where sheer splendor of the colorful fall leaves tickles our senses. In our case, it causes us to whip out our cameras and take woodsy road trips, which we attempted again last week. Thwarted! A survey of our front yard buried in massive amounts of leaves quic
