Fred's Market and Johnson's BBQ are Steppin' It Up

Over the past month, we have had the opportunity to do some really fun projects for Fred's Market and Johnson's BBQ. Fred's Market is working on some fresh advertisements as well as a campaign that tells specifically about some of the reasons you should head to Fred's. Johnson's BBQ... well they are gettin' down and dirty trying to update their look. CE is working on a new menu, some fun ads and possibly even some chalkboard art! To say the least, here at CE, we have been having a blast chowin' down to bring 'em up to speed. Sneak peak of what to come is above. Lip Smackin', Foot Tappin', Knee Slappin' Good!

Ella Gray Cliburn | Newborn and Infant Photography | Lakeland, Tampa, Central Florida

Ella Gray Cliburn. Newborn Baby Girl.

Parents: Ryan and Erin Cliburn.

Beautiful afternoon spent with this family while trying to capture the already developed personality of little Ella. She was quite cooperative considering all the wardrobe changes and props she went though in a matter of a few hours. Here and there, we would see her eyes, but she mainly save those for her daddy. Overall, the shoot was a success. A prayer has been said for the parents as they begin to raise Ella, their first child.

Really Big Backdrop

Check it. Remember when we said we would give you a design a day... well, that was alittle optimistic. Either way, we have one today so hopefully that counts for something. Just got a picture straight from Vegas... one of our clients are lucky enough to be at a trade show out there this week. A big old backdrop full of wonderful shopping centers. Photography and design by CE Design Co!

Guess what happens in Vegas doesn't always get created in Vegas :)

Bringing Home the Bacon

We all know that CE is made up of some pretty girly girls... however, we are all quite independent, hardworking, on the go (go) girls! Here's alittle something that spoke to me this morning and I know that there are other women who would benefit from reading it. Most of the girls in my age group, contrary to the life their mother lived, are working women. If your one of those today, I hope this encourages you to give it your all today

If I'm Wonder Women Where is my Jet.

... Life is busy, especially for the working woman. We're expected to bring home the bacon, fry it up, serve it, clean up the dishes, then workout so the bacon doesn't deposit on our thighs, and do it all again in the next day. Let's not even throw a baby into the mix...

If your feeling weary today, turn to God. No matter what you are facing, no matter how overwhelming it seems. No matter how tired you feel. God can help you. He will give you strength. Just ask.


An Excerpt from "Daily Wisdom for Working Women"
- by Michelle Medlock Adams and Gena Maselli

Anyway, today, give it your all and get up and do it again tomorrow, the next day, and the following. Don't give up. Be a strong "woman" witness for the Lord through the way you do everything on your plate with ease and perfection, all humbly with his help.
