And so it goes...

Nearly two years ago I was hired to create portraits of a very special dog for a Father's Day gift . He was only a year old then, and was very well-behaved and smart. We took this portrait in the back yard here at the studio.

A year and two days ago, the recipient of this Father's Day gift passed away. Three days ago, the dog was killed on the highway in front of their home. Damn. He was only 3 years old. *sigh* I gave a 16x20 studio display print to the family because I know they will always cherish it.

I am covering a wedding today that holds lots of irony for me personally. It should be interesting. Eric is officiating. Should be really interesting... ;-)

Then after that I have a baby session with a 3-week old and of course his parents. I'm looking forward to that.

Then, we are going to HogFathers for dinner and entertainment. If you haven't checked it out, you really should. Make reservations well ahead of time, they are often sold out.

Have a great weekend.

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 ...
