A Girl and Her Horse

I was silly enough to ask her what her favorite thing was - horses, of course. She's had Chip for awhile, but she's loved horses for as long as she can remember. Tall, blue-eyed, beautiful, and completely smitten by her horse, K's summer is going to be made by spending time with Chip at a couple of local fairs. It's a horse girl's dream come true, really. Days will be spent at the barn with friends and horses by her side. Judging by her her ability to maneuver Chip around for my camera, I think she'll do pretty well showing in the arena too. Good luck you two!

Dance Fever

I got to play "dance photographer" this weekend and had a lot of fun.  Really, a lot of fun, but a good portion of my evening was spent in a near panic as I realized that my oldest is only about four years away from THIS! AAHHH.  It was a mostly outdoor formal, so let me tell you how glad I was that Mr. Sun decided to show for a while.

Hail, snow, and then SUN....

When is this crazy weather going to end?  I left my house just as it was starting to snow.  Thought I might have to cancel the session but by the time I got downtown the sun was peeking through.  I brought a blanket for Miss E. and she was an awesome subject.  I could post pics of her all day long.  I can't wait to get the proofs to her mom.  

Laurelhurst Park

The weather was awesome and we had to get out.  So, the kids and I ventured across the big river on an urban trek. We caught the trolley and rode to Jameson Park where the kids got a little wetter than I had planned.  What was I thinking?  Kids, water feature, more sun than we had seen in weeks.... you know the rest.  

Luckily for unprepared momma, they dried off in the car before we got to Laurelhurst Park.  We brought bread and crackers to feed the ducks but unfortunately there were signs everywhere telling us not to. Fortunately a large flock of seagulls were playing in the water and there were no signs telling us not to feed the seagulls.  Those are some very smart seagulls. 

I love this picture of B.  It reminds me of California and makes me feel optimistic that the sun just might stay...
