I’m home, I’m back…really

July 29, 2010 – 9:53 am

Well sort of… After two weeks of friends visiting, a few senior shoots thrown in, a very quick pack and then a week on vacation, I’m home. I can always find a church or two to photograph on vacation. Here is one church where the light was dancing….

I’m happy to say that those pics were taken with my ‘baby’ camera, a Canon G9 (I can still set shutter speed and ap but no add on lens). For the first vacation in many years I did not lug my real camera along. At times I looked with envy at cameras along the way but most times I was happy that my camera was just a wee one hanging from my neck. It really isn’t the camera, well a good lens helps, but more the eye. I’m not sure anyone else in my group saw the light I saw in the church. My little camera did and did ok.

I’m adjusting and getting back into it, I’ve got to! Two weeks of great friends and family, I’m feeling great!

Gracie & Cash

July 14, 2010 – 12:09 am

I think I have this all right. Momma and Daddy are both from Iowa but met in Arizona. Daddy worked at the same company as Miles and Bella’s Momma Whitney. Whitney is from Des Moines and has been my sister-in-law’s best friend since college. Gracie and Cash tried to have their pictures taken last summer when they were home but we were rained out. This year, um yes, we need an ark. So July 5th storms rolling through the state. We decide to live on the edge and have them come from Iowa City. It rained before, during and after our shoot. We found some windows of no rain – but not clear sky : ( but we had an adventure and I’m glad we did!

Gracie – age 4 – yes really. If she is smiling you can still see the sweet baby teeth. If she is serious, I think she looks much older. And….she acts MUCH older than 4.

How old is she?

July 12, 2010 – 9:27 pm

I love to guess who old a child is. I look at lots of things to wager my guess and I have to admit that I get it right alot.

As I was editing Gracie’s picture, I thought she would be a fun one to guess on. Now I haven’t given you much, but go ahead take a guess.

Comment on the blog post and I’ll come back later and post their whole blog and tell you then. Gracie and her brother Cash have a great story on how they got to me. Lots of determination!!!

A little play with Miss LaQuon

July 7, 2010 – 2:09 pm

I was able to take a few more of LaQuon while she is here visiting her Iowa family. My fingers are crossed that she’ll come again next summer for some senior pics. Hopefully her braces will be off so she’ll be showing me some smiles : ) for now, all she needs to show me are some looks, I am happy!
