Coming Around Again / Leaving on a Jet Plane

-
This morning I had the honor of creating Lorena's portrait for the second time, this time for the occasion of her 90th birthday. Her daughter Sandie was the first one to put her faith in me as a portrait photographer when she hired me to create Lorena's portrait for her 87th birthday three years ago. I've posted before about the wonderment of my chosen profession and how it relates to the changes in my clients' lives. Births, deaths, and other changes happen so quickly. And time continues to march on. Here is Lorena's new portrait.

Eric and I have been busy making last-minute preparations for our two-week trip to Baltimore and Washington, DC. I hope the weather is at least mild, and not wet and/or snowy. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed on that. I'm sure we'll have a blast and will have LOTS of pictures to share when we return. We have two plane changes/layovers tomorrow, so by the time we finally hit Baltimore we should be pretty well wore out. Then after a good nights' sleep, we'll be off to do some sightseeing.

Eric has 4 days and a couple of evenings of the EMS conference, so I'll be doing some sightseeing on my own, including a photo safari with a professional travel photographer on Wednesday. Thursday evening the EMS conference includes a 25th anniversary party at the Baltimore Aquarium. Woo hoo!

So we'll post when we return.

Marshmallow farm?

On the way home from the Tillamook Forest Center last Sunday, Eric stopped the car so I could snap some shots of what looks like a farm that produces giant marshmallows. We watched the machine that wrapped these giant hay bales in white plastic. Why they do this, I don't know. To keep the hay fresh, perhaps? It is kinda fun to picture these things as giant marshmallows, tho.

I had the extreme pleasure of attending and capturing images at a very special wedding recently. I've known the family for some time, and always enjoy being around them, they are all just super nice folks. I did Karissa's Senior Portraits a couple of years ago, and we got some of the most awesome images... here is one of my favorites. And here is one of my favorite shots from the wedding. What a lovely couple! Congratulations, I wish you all the very best!

Road Trip! Part Eight: The Tetons

 From Denver, we headed up to Moran, Wyoming for a glimpse of the Tetons with their fresh layer of snow.  Here are some of the shots I got the day we arrived. We got up early the next morning and went horseback riding.  It was 23 degrees! What a blast!!   There's a magpie on the curb saying, "Good Morning!" Lots of horse's asses...  The horse ranch life... hot coffee, chewing tobacco and cigarettes, and lots of horses.  They have a herd of 130 horses and mules.  What fun!  Here is a link to the outfit we went with:   Grand Teton and Jackson Hole Horseback Riding - Teton Horseback Adventures This is Holly, the mare I rode. She really didn't like having her cinch tightened, but she was a really nice ride. And this is Little Snort and Margaret. Our lovely guide, Georgia.  She did a great job.  She HAS a great job! I loved riding Holly, she listened to me really well.  What a beautiful girl. Georgia took some shots of us ...
