My Happy Place 
 Wednesday, 9/16/09

Laura sent me this photo tonight..from her visit to the Tetons. The dogs love to go camping, they go on many walks and Goldie growls at the Buffalo. She is so tough. I have been working in the studio lately, and will be posting some new sessions soon. My trailer... the color of the UNDEFEATED DALLAS COWBOYS! GO BOYS!





I want sssssssmoooooreeeee! 
 Friday, 8/14/09

What are the payoffs to staying at a campground with no electricity, running water or any luxury whatsoever? Well for one... you get to be close and personal with wonderful animals like these owl babies. I love these owlettes, I can't get enough. I was lucky enough to watch these two guys from when they first peaked out of their heart shaped tree nest, to when they were flying branch to branch.

At one point when they left the nest, they were pretty far apart... a couple of hundred yards maybe and the mom sat and watched one and the dad watched the other. When I woke the next morning, they were side by side on the same tree branch. This was amazing as they could barely fly. They just waddle over to another tree in the middle of the night. By now these guys are flying around and learning to hunt.


Another great reason to rough it: to watch your friends rough it. :) Here is Laura and the smore photo. This was an event. I don't see the allure with smores, maybe its the whole I don't like chocolate thing.

As a professional photographer, I am ashamed to admit that I took this with my Blackberry camera phone. It was after hours.





home sweet home 
 Sunday, 7/12/09

I am back home from Alaska. I was excited to get home and back to work at the studio. Things are coming along nicely there, and I will post photos soon. Before I can wade through the Brown Bear photos, I had to organize some things I shot the last couple of months. Here is a photo I took before the sun came up just outside of Idaho Falls. I am working on a slideshow of images and many blogs to catch everyone up on the last couple of months. I am having a blast and still happy I moved. Lots of life changes, hopefully for the best!





aqua net 
 Thursday, 3/5/09

Had a hard day.... thought this would tide everyone over until I get more Polar Bear babies up. High School... Melissa's mom made us these matching shirts. Could we be more proud? Could we be more country? Could we have used more Aqua Net?





Nik and Me  
 Wednesday, 11/19/08


Nik sent me this photo a couple of days ago, this was the day we were out looking for a bull moose. That was a fun day! Nik was up to his knees in mud at one point, choosing not to take his shoes off. His shoes didnt make the trip home, probably permanently smelling of river water. You know my shoes were off, I would gladly walk barefoot before ruining one of my precious pair of shoes. I'm not sure why I look so short??? I think Nik photoshoped himself taller. Yes, that is definitely what he did. This is why I should only wear heels. Even in the wilderness.




On the hunt

Hunting for Moose.. NOT Sarah Palin style. Thanks to Nik for taking this pic.





My flowers 
 Friday, 6/6/08

Im starting to feel a little bit better. The cough is a lot better... so maybe that is a sign of things to come.
I have been gardening some this spring.. and its so fun to see things blooming. I really don't know what any of these things are. When I go to the nursery, I buy based on color. I do read the sun or shade thing.. so far, so good!

When I finally start to feel better and video blog more, Ill be out here in my little mini garden.

Going to see the girls tomorrow night and go see Sex and the City, finally!!!! I held out a week so I could see it with some friends. Ill post photos tomorrow. ( Well Sunday. ) What to wear to the movie.. THAT is the question!










Flora Flora 
 Saturday, 5/3/08

Central Market Flower Dept:

" Hmmm these flowers look like Clams. I must have them. They would look great in these plant things that look like lettuce. I wonder if these are supposed to be in the produce department and some first day staffer put them with the flowers. Maybe I should get some croutons. Clams in a sea of lettuce, time to break out the Leica."

My house:

" These flower clams would look great outside. Lets put them in the pool, on their own little island of Flora Flora."

It sounded like a good idea at the time.

Daily Photo(s)

The nephew... for those who know.. with the baby mama who I always knew he would end up with. :)


Edited to add: Laura, I took this with the Leica, the 90mm, so you know how far I was, it was a great pretty place. Isn't the quality awesome??? Ok back to normal blog programming...
