April in October

April, here's the first of a whole bunch of beautiful images!  Thanks for the memory.  Chris, you made it double fun being there too.  And your ideas were terrific.  More to come soon.

Focusing on Focusing

We are having a lot of dear moments like this – several a day.  I wonder if he ever experiences nausea.

Having Fun with the “C’s”

 

 

We had to flee the rain, but not before we got this shot.  We had a perfect evening up the mountain with this family we love.

Senior Moments with Liz

Liz glows in every shot we took this evening.  I couldn’t wait to see them, so here are a few.  Once again, thanks Anna – couldn’t have done it without you.  Enjoy!  I sure did.

 

Her legs go on and on, right out of the shot.  Love that.

Halloween At Our House

It’s almost Halloween and I see all kinds of fun, spooky decorations going up in neighbors yards.  ‘Tis the time for cobwebs, skeletons, ghostly figures, black ravens, dark silhouettes and mysterious people.  When I came home from my early morning bike ride, walking through our grass, I suddenly realized that Someone had already done the decorating – I only had to have an appreciative eye – and I do.  I also have a camera.  Looky here!

 

Cobwebs!

 

Skeletons!

 

Ghostly Figures!

 

More spider webs!

 

A raven knock, knocking at our door!

Quoth the raven "Nevermore!"
  Annaleigh and Jay hate this one, it startles them every time.  But what good is an October without a few startles, and references to Edgar Allen Poe, I say.  Startle.  Hey, what a great word for October, I just noticed.

(start’l) to surprise, frighten, or alarm suddenly.

 

Dark silhouettes, and mysterious people! 

Can anyone from Manti guess who they are?  Hint: they are the finest, wonderfulest couple ever, and have the nicest, cutest kiddos ever.

Ahhhhh!  Autumn – it never lasts long enough.

Little Girls Love a Wedding

And I do too.  Fountains, flowers, twinkly lights, streamers blowing in the breeze . . .
 
 
 
Oh . . . and cake!  Which is why I was invited to be there.  Thank you Melissa and Naseem.  It was a privilege.
Happy Life to you.

The Brookelyn Bridge

Over the river and through the woods we went to capture forever Brookelyn’s Senior Year.  Here is a sample of this beautiful gal’s portraits.  Anna – couldn’t have done it without ya.  Thanks for the fun, and the laughs, and the patience, and even the scary moment memory (from now on I think we’ll have to take body guards when we go to remote places).  I might now think of that bridge where we spent so much time as Brookelyn’s Bridge.

Not even Close-To-the-Bridge.

Round-About-the Bridge.

This one makes me think of hot chocolate and drifting snowflakes to come after you’ve had a great photo shoot At-the-Bridge.

Pink 'n Purdy

I'm way behind in posting my cake creations.  Here's one I love, especially after Chelsey (Ruby Blooms) finished it with her unique florists' touch.
