Another photo from the Gala. Suite 16 is being filmed in Maricopa and I thought I would grab the girls for a quick shot before they headed out to sell raffle tickets! Aren' they cute? All of them are musically talented and will be doing a lot of community service here in our little city!
This marks the third filming of a tv program we have had in our city since we moved here... and well TWO of them have been on our street. ACK! haha OH WELL!

The amount of people there just willing to give to such an incredible cause is just unbelievable! And to top it off it was a blast to attend!


Everyone was dressed up so lovely and of course Torri was a huge HUGE huge help with EVERYTHING! (I still don't know how you keep your composure! haha) Thanks for being a lifesaver Torri!!!!!

Haha NO KAYRAE GO AWAY! Just wait Kayrae! YOU will feel this way when YOU have some competition too! :) I bet they really play nicely together! It would be sooo much fun to have cousins so close in age!

[outtakes]




If we had only known that talking about garbage and the trash man would evoke so much emotion and such laughs for Joel and us silly adults we would have brought it up sooner rather than later! Here you go guys! An outtake from today's session. I want him back every three to six months now ya'hear? The offer stands for Grandma Jane to bring him over!!! hahah!

[tickled]




Mommy was dancing like a silly willy and daddy was making goofy goo goo noises to tickle this little sweetie pink! Isn't she a doll face? And those eyes... heaven with blue! AHHH! I love my job!


The faces she makes is sooo worth all the giggles and wiggles mommy and daddy have done! This is a quick post of one of my faves already today!



Joel! I will get one posted of you today too! Haha

It is my greatest eartlhy joy (because my children are Heaven sent of course!) This thing I call my JOB. Taking the smallest photos of the most insignifcant things brings out my love for my job! Tonight I was shooting a 5oth birthday party... and I wanted to take a pretty picture of the horse at the Duke. Well... and did anyone see the moon tonight?

[QUALITY]

I love to read other professional photographer's blogs, and have a select few that I frequent. Some San Diego photogs posted some really interesting comments about "Why are professional photographers so expensive?"

http://www.caughtonfilmphoto.com/costofphotography.html

You know... it is funny. I sit here and work at nights till 2am most nights and never really think twice about it. This article really made me think, you know? It really applies to all of us that have worked and educated ourselves in the field of photography. Whether there is a degree involved or just years of dedicated work to become a professional photographer. It's more than owning a digital camera.

So this is dedicated to all my photog friends that work as hard if not harder than I do to make their images stand out from the rest and make this not just a job, but a passion for life!

{cheers!}

Okay... even for those of us who have lived here a while will admit that they think our post office is still pretty small. I have one to share with you from Humbird, WI that is even smaller than any I have ever seen! Hahah... Now THAT is small town!


Come in and say hello! The postmaster gets VERY bored. But, don't hit your head on the door frame on your way in! It is smaller than it looks!
