Parks, Red Brick, Railroad Tracks, Courthouses and Rivers

I love, love, love adventurous clients. They are the kind that are willing to be the subjects of my crazy ideas and I am grateful for them. I have been wanting to do a shoot in the river since my first client two years ago got in the creek in her prom dress.




My mind has been reeling with ideas but just couldn't quite find the right person. Well unbeknownst to me he was living right under my own roof. He has been asking me for headshots for quite some time and it just never quite worked out. Well I believe the following photos are proof as to why it didn't happen until now.

It all started with an old chair, so kindly donated to us from some good friends. The chair is 25 years old, rocked beautiful babies and has lots and lots of character not to mention memories.



Once said chair was loaded in the truck, the real fun began.

First the park...



Then the fall-out shelter...



Then the railroad tracks...



Then court square...



Then the river...



At this point I think he decided he needed a break...







So he jumped in the water...



And had some quiet time...




It wasn't a complete wash though... we got a few good shots of him to use in the future.




Now we just need to find him an office.

The Fair!

The fair has come and the fair has gone. All that is left is the tire tracks, dusty footprints, empty animal stalls and the last lingering scents of fair food...

MMMMM... FAIR FOOD


And lets not forget the memories. I have a lifetime of fair memories...

Attending the fair as a child in Idaho... the horse shows, the rides, the rodeo, gathering bags of freebies to take home and enjoying good food with family and friends.

Then again in high school going to the fair with a date... riding the rides, playing the games on the midway, laughing, playing and enjoying all the different kinds of food.

And now once again the fair has made an appearance in my life. Now I attend with my family enjoying all it has to offer... the animals, the petting zoo, the booths, the exhibits, the rides, the midway and of course the food.

Sadly, upon arriving at the fair this year I realized that I forgot my camera (the good one) and all I had on my was my iPhone... sad sad sad... I suppose I could have run home but once you are at the fair you just can't leave until they kick you out.

So after forking over all my funds to my kids for armbands, caramel apples, cotton candy and lots and lots of water. I got on the Ferris Wheel with my husband and snapped a few shots with the device iPhone calls a camera.







Now we wait with excitement and wonder as to what the fair will bring next year. Come join us if you dare.
