Coming Around Again

-
This weekend I was called upon by my friend and fellow photographer to stand in for her at a wedding she'd booked - she had an emergency and couldn't be there for it. It just so happened that I was able to do it, and what a great time it was. The weather was perfect, and the setting also quite beautiful.

I recognized the groom's name on the contract, and wondered if it was the same Jim Hayter that I went to school with. Sure enough!! One of my classmates from Newport High. The families all had a good laugh about that. He looks great, is obviously very happy and married a very kind and beautiful woman named Ronda. They live in Arizona now. My class is having our 30-year (OMG really?? 30 years???) reunion this summer, and I'm looking forward to catching up with some of my other classmates. Jim said he hopes to be there as well. Interesting how things work out sometimes.

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 ...
