My Model

I can't believe that my model is going to be a SENIOR. Craziness. She's too young to do that! And more importantly, who the crap am I going to take pictures of????  I guess I have another year or so to figure it out. But just for the record, I'm not very excited about this "I think I'm a grown up and going to go to college" business. This is not good for my photography plans....So Brinley, stop growing up -k-? Just stay this young forever so I will have a model. Thanks :)

Heaven

That's exactly what this moment was for me: HEAVEN

The beach. The GORGEOUS sunset. The two most important people in my life to share it with. I could not have asked for a more perfect moment.

I have so many more pictures from this vacation. (I think from Coranado alone there were almost 250!) And I will post them as I get a chance. But this was one of my favorites. A moment in time that I was lucky enough to capture.

Thank you Chandler for helping me throw everything together frantically to get to the beach for sunset. And for helping me with Breagan while I ran around like a crazy person snapping photos. And for humoring me on yet another of my crazy adventures. (He's such a patient man!)

But yes, there will be more pictures. TONS MORE. But for now, I thought this one said it all.

Dear Brinley

I know that you were SUPER irritated by the time we got done with these pictures, but I think it was well worth it. Especially after seeing this one:

Oh, and this one as well:



Yep-- I think your anger will subside soon enough... ;)

Not disappointed

As if I was surprised.

I painted this chair:

And took out my FAVORITE model:

And of course, it was a match made in heaven. (I mean, can you really take a bad picture when you have someone this pretty to take pics of???)

Answer: NOT A CHANCE



Yeah, I have a sneaky suspicion that these two will be appearing in a few more of my pictures. 

Dear Red Chair

I cannot wait to take you out today and get photos with you.

So I've been looking for 'The Chair' for quite some time now. 'The Chair' that would be the center of some of the most spectacular photos that I have EVER taken (or so I'm hoping!) Then one day whilest dropping off donations to the DI, this little beauty caught my attention. Granted, it did not look like this when I bought it. But a few sandings and a couple of coats of paint later and "ta da"! Brand new chair!

Hopefully it will be the amazing piece that I've been searching for! I'll find out this afternoon! :)

Sometimes you just know...

You just know that there's something more... There's a greater power out there. And I KNOW that from looking at these.
