Charmed

We had a fabulous time in St. George. I tagged along with the lovely Kara who was Emilie's wedding photographer. Such fun. I have just begun to edit the images I captured and this is the first one. I couldn't resist snapping this little charmer girl.

It's Beginning to Look alot Like Christmas!

Christmas in September. Remember this? It was less than 2 yrs ago with my old non-digital camera. Anna and Kyle's wedding - revisited. Now with new skills and photofinishing, a Christmas present is in the making. And it's non too early for me to start. Happy anniversary - almost. Here's a sneek peek. You are the most-est, funner-est, bester-est couple ever.

A Piano Man

Andrew, you are too handsome for words. So, here's a picture instead.

Tub Twins and a New Sign

It's been a long time since I felt quite so exuberant - or loud - in the tub.
Lookie what Anna brought me! Oh La La! may have deep, special meaning if one says it with the proper intonation while stepping into a shower or bath. It all originated with Aunt Keli who lettered it right into the shower of the newly French-influenced bath she redid. Gorgeous, with a little humor and whimsey.

Anna breezed in for a whirlwind sewing spree. We were getting ready for two baby showers and this was her only chance. They (the sewing projects) turned out so fun. But we can't share them yet for obvious reasons. The element of suprise is always an important part of any successful shower.

Before and Afts

Pretty girl before my editing . . .. . . after my editing . . .
. . . and yet another version.

It's my style! I like my ladies and children glowy and flowy, brightened and lightened. I like my men to be roughened and toughened, scruffered and ruffered, if you know what I mean. I love layers and layers, and textures, and illumination, and colors sometimes muted away, other times blown into fantasy (after all, 'photography' literally means 'drawing with light') Too much fun - I really need to go do the dinner dishes now that it's bedtime.

Cowboy Wedding Cake

This cake may not look cowboy, but everything for this wedding was western, howdy do, especially the groom who wore formal cowboy attire. Wow, it was so fun to create this classic beauty for. The tables next to the cake had a cowboy boot with daisies spilling over the tops.
