Boots McBlog bio picture

bonjour, y'all!

I'm a dash of Jackie O.  A pinch of Elly May.  A splash of Quelques Fleurs.  A jigger of pickle juice. My friends call me Boots. My name is JoBeth.  I'm just a southern girl who adores a great tune, a delicious meal, beautiful flowers, a frilly dress, and the perfect shoe. I'm married to a curly haired boy I call "The Angler".   I am a registered dietitian who loves burgers and chocolate chip cookies.   I survived being President of the Junior League.  I'm a daydreamer, an avid i-pod shuffler and a novice photographer.  I love to laugh.  I'm often silly with a heapin' helpin' of sappy. I'm blessed beyond measure and amazed by God's grace.  I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, but I try to keep my high heels walking in faith one step at a time.  It's been an incredible adventure so far. 

Like all true southerners, I come from a long line of storytellers. My favorite stories paint pictures.  And great pictures tell stories. I hope to accomplish both on this blog.  So,  grab yourself a glass of sweet tea, kick off your Manolo's and sit a spell on my virtual veranda. Flair and folly awaits.  

Do tell!




photography: bridals ~ Chrissy

Redheads have a reputation of having a fiery personality.  If by fiery, you mean full of energy, ideas, and spunk – then Chrissy should be their ultimate spokesperson.   Chrissy and I met when she came to work with me at a local non profit.   I was amazed by her zeal for life which she freely shares with her work, her friends, and her family.  Now that we no longer work together,  I miss getting my daily dose of that!   In October, she had a destination wedding to St. Thomas where she married one of my dearest friend’s brother in laws.  (What a small world!)

Recently Chrissy and I  had the opportunity to team up on another project.  I was enrolled in the talented Marta Locklear‘s workshop.  I called Chrissy and asked if she’d be my model — which resulted in a fun day of bridals.   You’ve just got to love a friend who will grab her gorgeous wedding dress on a moment’s notice and strike a pose.   Thanks Chrissy for being such a beautiful bride and friend.     And a special thanks to Marta for sharing her knowledge and encouragement …and for nudging me to get these up on the blog :)
