Kids Say the Funniest Things
By · Comments
While I was setting up a background, chair, and accessories for a three month portrait, I was chatting with her six and ten year sisters. Well, they were chatting at me, I was in work mode.
I couldn’t find my small white baby fabrics and wondered out loud if I sold them at my yard sale. Then I was looking for ribbon, couldn’t find it. Talking to myself again, I figured I sold that also. Then it was a lamp. You know little kids, they pick up on everything. “Did you sell that at your yard sale too?”
Soon the ten year old asked if someone used to live in the studio, as it is an old Victorian home. “Yes, a long time ago it was a home for a family.”
“Finally! Something you haven’t sold!” I had to burst out laughing as the building (not the business) actually is for sale.

Soft Landing

This is one of those great imags that the background color can be changed to coordinate with a theme or decor. For this one, I just matched the stripe on the butterfly wing. This would be a nice kitchen image, or little girl’s room!

The Rainbow Eucalyptus tree in Hawaii was certainly a surprise to an Iowan.
Images of My First Vineyard
By · CommentsFun Photo Friday
My first grape harvest is also the beginning of a vineyard series of photographic art images. Enjoying the outdoors, cutting grapes, and photographing on my back deck was a perfect morning.
If only this was a scratch and sniff! The aroma from these wine grapes (concord I think) was so amazing I wish I could share that with you too.
Equine Special Olympics

I accompanied this group to the Equine Special Olympics. I played “pit crew” and “gopher” and shot a few pictures. It was a blessed experience.
Mitch (on the right) rode Billy Willy, the 28 year old gelding, to a silver medal victory in the Western Pleasure Walk class and a gold medal in the Walk/Trot class! Mitch’s coach, horse trainer Jan McDonald is pictured on the left. She was amazing at getting Mitch and Billy ready for the competition.
The Money Shot

The Money Shot is simply an image just screams “this is the one”. This just pulled on my heartstrings the moment I saw it, my favorite one out of the session. I am glad mom liked it too. Be careful not to overcoach children, they are brilliant on their own.
Working with Rabbits
By · CommentsFun Photo Friday
Hard to believe that this is the first pet rabbit I have photographed with a high school senior. I have worked with a lot of animals and as common as rabbits are, this is my first one with a senior. You probably can’t tell that her vintage coat is a rabbit too! I expected a rabbit to be as difficult as a cat but really this one was quite calm and relaxed.
