Clicking

-
You know how sometimes it happens that someone walks into your life, and you just CLICK? Miss Brooke came into my studio a few weeks ago to hire me to photograph her wedding later this month. We sat down, started talking and really hit it off. A couple of the biggest things we have in common is our love of horses and dogs. And her mom just so happens to train both professionally.

So she decided that she would like to have a coffee-table book filled with images of herself, her groom and some of their horses for a guest book. So here are a couple of favorite images that will go into her book.

She also decided she wanted to do some portraits of herself with her groom's favorite horse, so we took a ride up into the hills and did some nice images on a sunny day last week.
I love this shot, this is one happy mule.


A nice headshot of Shane... the groom's horse.
I love horses' eyes. They have so much detail and depth and character.
And Shane has the most wonderful speckled lips...

I'm looking forward to spending more time with Brooke and with her horses and with my own, I've neglected them for far too long. One thing I've learned from her is that I have a LOT to learn.

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.

Road Trip! Part Seven: The Rocky Mountains

-

 The next couple of days were spent sightseeing in the Rockies with my favorite cousin, Melanie. One major highlight was a ride on the  Georgetown Loop Railroad .  The weather was perfect, the company was awesome, and the scenery was second to none. Click on one of the pictures to enlarge them into a filmstrip view. What a great ride!  I highly recommend it if you're ever in the Denver area. Next, we went to Rocky Mountain National Park.  Cousin Melanie got a shot of a moose; I was too far away.  Great shot, Mel! This was mid-June.  It was fun to see snow and walk around on it, we don't get much here at the Oregon Coast! I put my mom's ashes in the creek in her hometown. I sure do miss her. Next up:  The Tetons!

Agate Windows

The GraceNotes have been busy lately, singing at assisted living facilities around the county. We have a few more gigs coming up and booking plenty more for summer. Woo hoo! Last Sunday we sang at the Yachats Presbyterian Church, where we found the most interesting windows. Unpolished beach agates are embedded in resin sheets and make up these windows. The texture of the resin makes it look like a watercolor painting. Beautiful! By the way, the GraceNotes have a nice new website . Check it out!
