    Tammy and Jason are engaged!

    Tammy and Jason came in for their engagement session on a gorgeous early evening  in July. They were dressed very casually and wanted very relaxed portraits to reflect who they are as a couple.  We had a great session, the weather was overcast which is the best lighting conditions for outdoor portraiture.

    Zander and Holden have been coming in every for Easter portraits with the bunnies!  I photographed their parents wedding quite a few years ago.  I love the matching sweaters and hats!  Again, I can’t believe how fast kids can grow, how fast time flies, and how much I enjoy seeing the children of wedding customers!  It is so great! I have the best job in the world!  Thank-you Aniko!img_0061.jpg

    Summer where are you????

    Summer where are you????

    OK, soI am sitting outside on my front porch, with my laptop catching up on some work…and I love to be outside….and I drag everything outside all the time….I eat all meals out here in the summer and read the paper….write…do anything and everything I can to be outside, cuz I hate the winter and I want to enjoy every waking moment I can outside…and here I am….with a sweatshirt on and a blanket over my legs becuz I am too stubborn to go upstairs and grab some pants!  It’s July 15th for crying out loud….Summer would you finally please get here???  I endure 9 months out of the year just to get to the 3 months of summer and now it is 1/2 over and it still is not warm!  I haven’t even gone swimming yet!  The only water I go in is the hot tub because at least that water is warm!!!   Oh well…at least it is not raining !!  and maybe just maybe the summer will get here for September so it will be nice and warm when we go on our cruise to the East!  I may need to get a hot chocolate or Tea or something to keep warm out here!! geesh….

    I was doing some gardening , getting a flower bed ready to plant some perennials along one side of our garage. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the squirrels were running around, the birds were chirping…..holy cow the birds were chirping!!!  There were these 2 birds just going bananas, chirping away, flying all around my head…then I realized there is a birds nest in one of the windows above where I was working.  So of course, I ran in the house and got my camera.  They were perched on a tree beside me, to keep an eye on their little eggs . One of the birds showed me what he really thought of me and shot me a moon!  I worked quickly to get away so they could relax and feel safe again!!!  can’t wait to see the babies when they hatch!
