Fine Friday...

Happy Friday! It has been a beautiful day and I am visiting a friend so we took advantage of it and roamed the town square nearby. We sat outside behind a little coffee shop in a sort of court yard-like area... and the comments that followed soon after were focused on the amazing ability that we have to fully relax in public places... feet propped, eyes, closed... completely oblivious to everything around us. Someone could take our stuff... ehhhh but who cares, we'll call the bank ...tomorrow (this has pretty much been the mindset all day).

The one thing that I regret today is that I didn't bring my camera along! AHH! So frustrating, I never have it when I want it. The square was so unique, perfect for one-of-a-kind photos. 

I guess I'll just embrace the next moment.

Tonight we are going to catch a Beatles tribute band.... heck yes. AND it is free, heck yes.. can't by ME love, baby.

Full swing summer!

Summer has started! I'm excited because that means longer days, more time to get things done (or more time to 'waste' time?). I am loving this! I think thought that the individuals at Barnes and Noble are getting tired of seeing my face... I should probably buy something there other than a super large latte in order to compensate for me taking over their extremely comfy chairs. By the way... where DO they get those chairs? Can I buy one? With the amount of money I spend on coffee there I am sure that I could claim one by now...

This weekend will be busy, a wedding to help shoot on Saturday and then a family shoot on Sunday... I'll be sure to stock up on Smart Water before Friday -it's supposed to be hot.

By the way...Was there enough product placement in this post for all of us? I'll look for my check in the mail...

Mallory and Thomas!

Hooray Engagement! I was recently blessed to be able to shoot the engagement photos for a couple that I have become friends with in college. They are such a sweet couple and the blessing of love that God has given them for each other is evident within 5seconds of being with them. Mallory and Thomas were so much fun to shoot! Here are a few from their session:

Some from the shoot at R Ranch.

here are a few shots from the recent R. Ranch shoot. A brother and sister were the main subjects, but one of the sister's friends decided to tag along too; the way I see it... the more the merrier! I had a lot of fun shooting these, they were so charming!

SMILE!

This is little baby Josie. She was my first babysitting experience ever... and it happened on Friday. 

I took this picture when she knew me for no longer than 30 minutes.... but look at the love in her eyes!

I think we can all take a lesson in love from children... they love people simply for just being there, showing them something shiny, or paying attention to them. 

Happy Valentines day!

This bicycle seemed forgotten at the time... notice the flat tires and the leaves that rest on the front tire (signifying that it hadn't been moved in a while). But it's position outside of a cafe tells me it isn't forgotten, it has a purpose... I think to remind people that leisure doesn't have to be complicated or expensive... sometimes the simplest leisures are the best- and can take you the farthest away. 

This picture was taken at this year's Gold Rush festival. I think it generally sums up the entirety of the weekend...lots of things that are too big and too rich for us to stomache but we get them and enjoy them anyway! Like the little girl with the hot dog bigger than her face :). 

She caught me snapping a photo of her though, but I think the expression adds something..

A few more...

This picture of an old woman was taken outside of St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC

While in NYC there were Santa's EVERYWHERE! Here I caught a few crossing the street.

St. Patrick's.

This horse belongs to a friend of mine. I was asked to take pictures of her for a christmas gift.
