Milestone.

Remember I told you about the big news coming? So here goes . . .

Well, There's these really cool people who own a salon (SALON 535 . . . I'd link their website here but they don't have one just yet). Turns out that these really cool people dig my photography. They offered to hang some of my photographs IN THE SALON! So, I said . . . uh, sure! I printed up some of my favorites of '07 and had 'em framed (Images from the Lee, House, Stetter, and Cannon shoots . . . THANKS!). I brought them to the salon and they hung them up for all to see. Pretty Cool! So, if you need a manicure, pedicure, hair-cut, coloring . . . even permanent make-up check out Salon 535 in Ayden. See Sarah, and tell her that I sent you.

I've never had a business think my photos were good enough to be used to DECORATE! Since this was kind of a big deal for me . . . I took pictures. Afterwards, my family and I enjoyed the big beautiful red wall (the salon 535 building wall). We took some family pictures in front of it. I'd love your thoughts. Enjoy!

Lee Family

Aimee called me and wanted a photo-shoot with her and her adorable and beautiful daughter, Ava. Aimee wanted something new and unique, a location I hadn't photographed yet. I always love a new challenge! There were several thoughts about where to do the shoot and we finally settled on a park. Aimee and Ava had a fabulous time running around and playing together. It was so much fun to watch them and so easy to fade into the background and document the great expressions and moments. It was one of the first shoots where I rarely posed my client . . . they just naturally embraced the moment and had fun together. I have a feeling they always have a great time together. As a result there were several outstanding images. I was happy with so many . . . here's a few for you to enjoy!

My favorite family shot. I just love this photo! I enjoy how they are laughing and enjoying the moment.


Also, one of my favorite family shots.


See what I mean, she's adorable! Aimee is going to be running the boys off in about 16 years.




Ava walking on the train tracks. I love those little feet.


I enjoy this one because Aimee is getting such a kick out of Ava.


There's nothing better in the world than throwing a few leaves off a bridge. I love how the light hits the leaf . . . I know, but I notice these things.


Running on the bridge! What a great moment!


Wish'n for a puddle.


Who didn't like to pick flowers?


. . . or blow dandelions. I LOVE this photo! One of my absolute favorites!


She shared her wish with mommy. (yes dad {my Dad}, I know she's out of focus . . . the flower is in focus . . . it was on purpose.)


Also a favorite family shot.


Such a sweet moment!


I loved the rolling hills and the low sunlight.


Looking at the moon.


I'm sorry but this shot is wicked good. The sunset is awesome!
