I hope you all had a great Memorial Day! My husband is out of town & my little guy came down with a bug, so I spent the weekend home taking care of him. My sweet brother took Big D. to the lake with him yesterday, and I spent naptime placing orders and listening to this - if you haven't heard it before, you're gonna love it! (all of their albums are really good - go check it out.)

Travis - "Closer"

oopsie!

Well, i wish i could tell you he did it himself, but.....
STAGE 1: "Before" - He's ALWAYS had long, curly hair - ALWAYS! and i LOVE[D] it, sniff, sniff. Now it's gone =( {he insists he's "Spiderman", so that's what we'll call him - and little brother says his name is "Batman" - and if you ever ask them what they're doing, they'll tell you very seriously, "Saving the wuwd [world]", lol}
STAGE 2: He's been needing a trim. i've always trimmed his hair myself, and it's always looked okay, but i didn't do such a great job this time, and everyone said his haircut looked like a girl - you be the judge.


STAGE 3: And this is the current state of his hair. Daddy decided to "fix" mommy's hack job before she woke up. And apparantly, "Spiderman"'s haircuts have reverse Samson-Effect, because look how incredibley strong it made him! (and yes, there will be a stage 4 - it still needs fixing.)

I just love making these collages of some of my favorite work from other photographers. It's always so fascinating to me to see the "themes" that arise - i'm seeing more green this time. Check my April archives to see the last one - seems it could be appropriately entitled "April Showers".

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

good stuff.

Bubbly

As you can see, "S" and I had too much fun at her Senior photoshoot Saturday. I can't get over her AMAZING eyes, and no, I did NOT mess with them in Photoshop - can you believe that?! SO gorgeous! This is my first time to talk a Senior into doing their session at this location, and I hope, S., that you love these!
WOOHOO! See the difference between these 2 color versions?!?!?! I think i FINALLY figured out how to reflect the real color - thanks to all of you who helped me!

I've known this one for a LONG, LONG time - so long, it makes me realize how OLD i am! If she looks familiar, it's because I have taken her pics before, but her grandma wanted some of her gorgeous naturally curly hair, and in our first shoot it was straight --- what can i say, we do anything for Grandmas!

Also, she agreed to let me videotape this shoot, so I will be sharing a little footage soon - cool, eh?!? (that is, as soon as i can figure it out - i've never put video online - is it hard?)


(grey again=grrrrrr - the color's dull again -- in real life, she isn't grey, she's tan =)

As you can see, I tried a new uploading method where I use a photohost rather than posting directly through blogger in an attempt to remedy my color problem, but they still look slightly dull and more grey than they do in photoshop - they're just WAY bigger this way =) oh well.

So anywho, here's a few of "K" to share. She is THE coolest person! I just had a great time taking her pics, and isn't she so beautiful! [I know Mr. "R" thinks so, wink, wink]

I had the funnest time with the amazing dancer, "M". What a sweetheart and the best personality! She just had some jaw surgery and smiled for me over a hundred times even though her mouth was numb like after getting shots at the dentist - [like i said, what a sport!] And I LOVE, LOVE this first one - even though the color is little off when i post it here, i think you can tell how gorgeous it is:

this location is so unique - lots more to come of this place!

introducing my new favorite windows i found on the side of an auto repair building:

stunning, eh?

[and i am just so frustrated because, i don't know about you, but i'm seeing a definite blue colorcast on all of these that is NOT there in photoshop...and it's not a sRGB thing, i don't know what it is! Just know, M., that your pics' color is GORGEOUS!]
