Insta- Me aghan: Dog days of Summer

It's that time of year again where every day is hot and popsicles and A/C are a requirement!

Ziggy went to go visit some new dog friends.  The top 2 pictures were on the way there,
 where he first discovered the vents; the bottom is after getting chased around for
 almost an hour by 2 dachsands in the hot Florida heat. hahah He enjoyed it though!
A little late to share, but here are my July 4th nails- gone fishin'.
We bought some cheap Popsicle molds and Dee made Horchata pops for us! Delish!

Grilled Avocado, Spinach, Pesto, Mozzerella & Goat Cheese Sandwich - Nom Nom Nom!

Peonies & Friends!! A little surprise from my love when I came home for lunch this past week. :)

Nerdy Driving Picture- You can really see the true colors of my Ombre hairstyle here.
Thank goodness for A/C!!
This was beautiful, this image is untouched, no filter and taken from my iPhone
The rays were coming through in lines like that and projecting over the entire sky.

 Follow me on Instagram @mmulligan, I love new followers as much as you! ;)

Cobblestones & Colors



A little while ago my friend Ashley Steeby  took some photos of me in downtown Saint Augustine.  I of course took full advantage of this as a time for professional outfit of the day photos. ;)

So here is my adorable dress from Goldfinch Boutique paired with brown boots from Charlotte Rousse (last season).

Our little town with the brick paved and cobblestone areas are just too cute!

Florida Holidaze


This past Saturday I styled another photo-shoot.  This one was with Ashley Steeby Photography, and was a holiday at the beach theme. 
We strung up popcorn, some shells and pine cones, and decorated a small tree.

Add some adorable babies, and ornaments...

and a sign to direct Santa, and it's Christmas at the Beach!

This was a great time, I love decorating for Christmas so this was fun!
Can't wait to share more pictures with you from Ashley Nicole Photography like the one above of little Emma. :)

Foxtale Photography Shoot


Here are some of what I believe to be my best shots from my session with Foxtale Photography, a married duo Lucy & Wayne.

I initially was trying to find the vintage styled swimsuit in my previous post.  No such luck, I ordered one but it ended up looking like only an 8 year old could fit into it.  Not cool!!  It was a one piece, that was just so incredibly short and was supposed to fit a size 2 somehow.  Oh well, the suit above from Victoria's Secret worked out perfect with my great grandmother's old aquamarine ring. :)

I can definitely see an improvement in my work.  What do you think? :)

I love him!

I love him soooooooo much! :) He was sooo not into doing a couples shoot, lol.  It's okay though because it was painless and the pictures that I've seen actually came out really good.  Thank you again Ocean Angels!
My Mom & Stepdad have been in town for the past week and a half.
We always eat too much whenever they come in town.  And I like it!! haha I had sashimi tuna I think on 3 different occasions.  Anyway, we went to Aunt Kate's in Vilano Beach yesterday for lunch and stopped with 2 friends of ours to let the boys surf and hunt for some sharks teeth.  I found 5 to add to our collection, picture to come later. :)
Excellent Beach Day in Vilano on Sunday

Couples Shoot

Who says you have to be engaged to take professional pictures with your significant other?  I won a photo shoot in a photo contest with this picture a couple of weeks ago through Ocean Angels Photography.  Instead of doing a modeling shoot I've decided to do a couples shoot with my boyfriend Didier.  
http://gypsealove.blogspot.com/   Thanks again Lex for this great shot! Check out her blog, you won't be disappointed. :)

So in "researching" ideas for our couples shoot here are a few of the pictures that caught my eye.







We are definitely going for outdoors, and the beach will most likely be involved.  He surfs, and I am a weekend beach bum who likes to take out my longboard a couple times a year.  I need to get out there more. 
But back to the matter at hand, does anybody have any cool ideas for a couples shoot?  

Me & my man *kisses*
