Day 323/365 Fun Family

I took photos for this family last year (click here for the post) and just took their photos again yesterday.
I laughed so hard I had to stop taking photos since my camera was shaking so much. Here is a nice pose, but then a silly one as well. The milk weed pods were just too much fun! Check out the bearded fellow.

Day 321/365 Not gonna make it

Our 365 day challenge began Nov. 1 last year. I've had to take some time off and lately have been quite distracte, kind of like my dog here. Not sure what she is looking at, but longing to go on a walk.

Day 319/365 Lovely young lady

This session was perfect timing for October colors. I wish the colors would last longer.

Day 318/365 Memorial Service

As many of you may have seen on my facebook page, this month is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss awareness month. Yesterday, was the official day, made by proclamation of President Ronald Reagan back in 1988 (Click here for information). As a photographer for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, I had the honor of participating in the memorial service that Hurley Medical Center in Flint, MI had for those people that have lost their babies. They launched balloons and released butterflies in memory of their little ones. Well done, Hurley.

Day 317/365 Senior Session

I have NO idea what day I'm supposed to be on due to the time period that I had to take off. SO, I guess I'll just take pictures and post when I have something. I meant to post this yesterday, but forgot. From a senior session I had on Monday.

Day 315/365 Dog Park

The Dog park is FINISHED! Come THIS SUNDAY to the Howl-o-ween event at Bicentennial Park and the grand opening of our very own dog park. Event information HERE

Here is the before after dog park picture.

Day 314/365 HOWL-o-ween

For the past 5 years, this couple has been AMAZING at getting through the hassles of paperwork, funding, donations, lay-out/architecture and many other steps I'm sure I'm missing. Why? You ask...b/c they are determined for our town to have its very own dog park. A safe place to take our pooches for exercise and socialization. 5 LONG, hard, frustrating years. For the past few, they have had a Howl-o-ween party for dogs and their owners to dress up in costumes and trick or treat for doggie treats around the park. I was able to help raise some of the funds by taking photos, li to donate the money to the park. These are the wonderful people that did so much work for us. Thank you Kris and Vanessa!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to take pictures this year due to being out of town. I hope to make it for the grand opening, however. THIS Sunday Oct. 12. Join everyone for the Howl-o-ween contests and trick or treating along with the grand opening following.

PS - they ARE having another person take photos for $10, it just won't be me

Day 313/365 Lunar Eclipse

I got up at 5:00am this morning. I'm so glad I did, as the sky was fantastic for a perfect viewing of the lunar eclipse. I don't have the best lens for this type of work and the clarity on the full eclipse was poor, but I'm glad to have seen it. I even got my oldest (11yrs old) up a little before hand so she could experience it. She was thrilled.

This is photoshopped of different times, it moved through the sky much further apart than this.

Day 310/365 Origami Owl

Hey all, today I'm letting you know about an online party that my sister and I are having selling Origami Owl. A friend of my sister's is selling this great quality jewelry b/c she has a TON of medical bills from her fight against cancer. This collage are pictures from my personal order. I LOVE my locket. I thought the box they send it in was pretty cute, so I HAD to take a picture of that too. If you have any questions, leave a comment or PM me and I'll try to help you. BTW, my locket is a medium size. These would make great Christmas gifts.


Check it out! - please use this link so the proceeds go to my sister's friend.

309/365 Statue

As I was running errands, I noticed this statue in front of someone's yard. (I asked permission to take photos). I think I like BW better on this. This was taken with external flash.

308/365 Lines

I was walking around the park and noticed this little bush, already without leaves...OR dead. I'm not sure which, but all I saw was the crazy twists and turns of the branches. I like the color one, but BW looks neat too.

Day 307/365 This time of year

This time of year is my favorite time for exploring and finding new parks and places of color. Although the color isn't quite here yet, I found myself enjoying the weeds. I found myself taking many pictures of these weeds yesterday as I was scouting for a session coming up. I love shooting at different angles, different apertures, and different shutter speeds then created this collage.
