CAUTION: Contents Hot!!

Don't blame me if these are too hot to handle--this couple is smokin'!

Thanks for the great times Kim and Eddy!! You were such a blast to hang out with and the car is fabulous!! Made for a wonderful Tuesday evening. I hope you enjoy these...there are more to come next week!

FYI-I'll be out of town for the weekend--will be back in civilization next Tuesday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

It is my wonderful husband's birthday today!! I am so thankful for all the love and support he gives me. He is so encouraging and understanding. I'm so thankful that he is my husband--I wouldn't trade him for the world. We are best friends and for that I am truly grateful!



Love ya honey--hapy birthday!

Here is Brandon last fall with a big salmon at the Nooksack River.

And here he is when our puppy was pretty small...they were hunting birds together.

Hot Rod + Diamonds = HEAVEN!

How could this be any hotter?! I have nothing more to say except keep your eyes peeled for more pictures from this steamy engagement session in the days to come!

Thanks Kim and Eddy--I had so much fun with you two! Can't wait to show you the rest...

The BRIGHT and the beautiful!

Here are few quick snap shots from the yard this summer. I love the bright, cheerful color that plants bring!

CORN! So pretty and elegant--who knew?!

Look at those beautiful, plump tomatoes peaking through--YUM!

Heavenly, delicate wild lupine--understated beauty!

Plant update-the tomatoes have since rotted from all the rain we've had here and the corn tassled out at three feet high, with only three tiny ears of corn hanging on for future appetizers! The flower has since been trampled by our puppy--but the good news is that I have plenty more of those!



I'm off to shoot a second set of engagement photos for Kim and Ed--with a hot rod! Updates on those photos to come! Have a great summer evening!

More Engagement Photos!

Here are few more from Kim and Ed's engagement session--enjoy! As with the last couple of posts, the vintage coloring in the photos was the desired effect.

Choices, choices!

This is a post just for Kim--ok, you can sneak a peak too! And I'll even let you vote! Kim is looking for a vintage feel for some of her photos to go along with her wedding theme. I've done for different post processing techniques on one photo below. You can vote for your favorite style in the comments box below to give me some feedback on future projects. Kim--please email or post a comment and let me know which you like best.

By the way: Picture "SOOTC" is straight out of the camera-ish (a few basic corrections have been made) for comparison. "A-E" are the vintage-styles (I'm sorry the pictures are so small...but hopefully you can get a sense for the overall tone of the picture).

Thanks for voting! I appreciate your feedback!

P.S. Don't worry--there are more pictures to be posted from this session! Keep checking back!

Sneak Peak

Monday night I had the pleasure of photographing some engagement shots for Kim and Ed. What fun we had! Thank you so much for the great time and I can't wait for the hot rod/Dukes of Hazzard shoot coming up!

Kim is having a vintage theme for her wedding. I've been working on on some post processing techniques to correspond with the theme. We're getting closer! Here's a sneak peak of a clean, simple portrait. Keep your eyes out for more pictures in the next couple of days!

A stunning bride-to-be and handsome almost-groom!

I'm off to the PRCA rodeo tonight...have a great weekend!
