My horsey friends

This is a picture I took with my junkie point and shoot. The sky was awesome looking as a storm was blowing in. I ran to the car for my camera and took a few shots but nothing came out as I had envisioned because all I had was my little camera that I keep in my purse. But I still liked this one because of the angle and the way you see one horse in the background under the first. Skip, in the back, is actually a lot bigger than Tiger Lily (a pony), in the front. This shows some of the post production that can be done to make a snapshot into something interesting.

Restoration

I just did a restoration project for a client. I am thrilled to see that professional images are valued by family for generations. The snap shots they had were a total loss but with the quality materials of these pro images, they were just a bit cracked and yellow but salvageable.

Down by the stream

I went on a Boy Scouts hike with my two little ones last fall. During the 4 hours of hiking with a 7 year old and a 4 year old, I found a great place for portraits. It took two more visits to pinpoint an easier way to that spot. When I did, the place that I was dreaming about was two feet under water. We had so much snow and rain this winter. I got some great shots of my little model anyway and I'm sure the water will go down as the green comes out. Soooo looking forward to spring!!
