Every night Norton has to be allowed in the garage otherwise he meows incessantly, climbs on top of the kitchen cabinets and overall, just throws a huge fit! Once in the garage, he very contently lays under my car for hours.  It’s really rather odd, but it’s Norton so it’s not that surprising!

Day 89: Kabuki

We had my family over for my dad’s birthday last weekend. We, well Chris, made delicious pulled pork sandwiches and the best vinegar cole slaw I have ever tasted!  Day 90 was of the pork after about 6 hours of smoking.

Day 90: Smoked

Oh…how I love my morning coffee.

Day 91: Early Morning Coffee

Boston Creme Pie is a favorite for birthdays in my family. My sister made one for my dad’s birthday – it was fantastic!  We even kept an extra piece for leftovers!

Day 91: Homemade Boston Creme Pie

Nothing says summer like fresh watermelon! YUM!

Day 92: Watermelon

And, here’s that leftover piece of cake…seriously, it’s so good.  Find the recipe and make one!

Day 93:  Leftover Cake

So, the other morning I was approached by a trainer at the gym.  He asked me to take some photos of a conditioning training camp he does for the high school athletes.  I must say that he put those girls through some tough exercises!  They undoubtedly woke up very sore the next morning!  But, he made it a lot of fun for them.  He even ended the day with a fun game of tug of war!

Day 95: Tug of War

Riley, 6 months

July 23, 2010

Riley has changed so much since her last session.  I just can’t get over her gorgeous blue eyes!

How can you not love this face!?

Seconds after I snapped this photo she toppled backward and bumped her little head on the table. I felt terrible!  She recovered quickly after a little soothing by mom!

Looking forward to our 9 and 12 month sessions!

I’m almost caught up on posting these images!

Day 81: Droplets

Day 82: Rusted

Day 83: Coiled

Day 84: Weathered

Chris and I recently discovered that we live super close to Silverwalk Beagle and Hound Sanctuary. They have some of the cutest dogs! We like to drive by every couple of days to watch the dogs play and bark and  I couldn’t resist taking a photo of this guy!  Every time we go by he always stands against the fence.  Sooner or later, I’m pretty sure he’s going to jump over it!

Day 85:  Nothin’ but a Hound Dog

Day 86: Concrete Heart

Day 87: Peeling

Day 88: Tread

So, now I’m completely caught up on my postings! Now, that that’s done, I should be posting some sneak peeks and session posts soon!

P365: Day 72 – 80

July 20, 2010

Mmmmm! YUM!  4th of July burgers!

Day 72: Flame Grilled

Alex literally lives in bed.  She’s out of bed long enough to eat and run outside for a few minutes in the morning and then it’s right back to bed!  Usually it’s under the covers, too!

Day 73: Alex

So,  I recently experienced a new first in my life.  I shot my first gun.  One morning a few weeks ago we headed out to the local shooting range.  It was a neat experience, but the range was a bit more populated than I’d like.  I really look forward to going back when it’s a little less crowded and perfecting my shot! :-)

Day 74: Shooting Range

Day 75: Rusty Tail Light

We’re really enjoying our homegrown vegetables – especially the tomatoes!  Wee picked up some super thick bacon from a local butcher shop and made the best BLT’s ever!

Day 76 – BLTDay 77: Chocolate StrawberrySundae

These bridesmaids were perfecting their bubble skills while waiting for the bride and groom to exit the church.  I was glad to have captured this candid moment!

Day 78: Bridesmaids & Bubbles

Day 79

Day 80: Chicken Fried Rice

P365: Day 65 – Day 71

July 18, 2010

Once again, I am entirely way too behind on posting my P365 images!  But, at least I am still taking the photos everyday! I am behind by about 20 days!  I’ll post all the images over the course of a few days as not to overwhelm my readers! Enjoy!

We had the pleasure of dog-sitting Ms. Layla.  We love this dog – she’s so well behaved!  However, our oldest rat terrier, Millie, is not a fan of Layla.

Day 65: Layla

Chris and Matt have started brewing their own beer again.  Let me tell you, these two can brew a good beer!  Depending on the recipe it can take a few weeks and there are a lot of steps involved.  But, it’s fun to finally get to taste their hard work once it’s ready!  I tagged along while they bottled their latest batch!

Day 66: Capping

Day 67: Grilled Chicken Quesadillas! YUM!

Day 68: Woven

Remember that St. Bernard, Hank, next door that Addie is obsessed with?  Well, here he is!  He’s really a pretty dog – just real good at annoying Addie!

Day 69: Hank

This old barn is just around the corner from our house.  I love living in the “country” and having all these wonderful barns and fields to photograph!  I absolutely love the lighting in this one!

Day 70: Sun setting on a barn

Here’s a shot of Addie looking for Hank.  She immediately runs to the fence each and every time we let her outside.  She’s so mesmerized by him!  If you look past her, you can see a bit of the bare spots she’s worn in the grass.

Day 71: Lookin’ for Hank

Anna + Corey: Sneak Peek

July 13, 2010

I can’t wait to do a full post on these two!  They had a huge, but beautiful wedding party!  Check back soon!

Sneak Peek: Riley

July 10, 2010

Just a quick sneak peek of one of the cutest little girls I’ve ever seen!

More to come later!  Off to shoot a wedding today!

June 26, 2010

It’s time again for another Project 365 update!

Day 53: Diced tomatoesDay 54: PepperDay 55: Lily

We attempted to get all three dogs to lay together for a photo op.  This is the best we got. It lasted for all of .5 seconds.

Day 56: Rat (Terrier) Babies

I recently shot a “Remember The Dress” session for my friend, Jennifer.  It was super hot and humid, so we didn’t stay out as long as we would’ve liked.  But, we got some fantastic shots!

Day 57: Remember the Dress

Day 58: Wedding Cupcake

This is the first zucchini from our garden.  It’s HUGE. And oddly enough, shaped like a pumpkin.

Day 59: Zuchinni

There is a Saint Bernard, Hank, that lives next door.  Addie is OBSESSED with him.  She runs back and forth across the yard chasing him from the other side of the fence.  She’s even worn a few bare spots in the grass.  This next image shows Chris holding back Addie.

Day 60:  “Let me at ‘em! Let me at ‘em!”

Day 61 was for my older sister, Dorothy.   A few years ago I took a photo of an egg and another photo of a cracked and split egg.  She has them both hanging in her kitchen.  She’s been asking for a third image, an egg with just a crack, ever since.  I decided she had waited long enough.

Day 61: CrackedDay 62: LightDay 63: Afternoon Nap

Yet another image to make my neighbors wonder about me. There is a patch of overgrown grass just across from our driveway.   I noticed how beautiful the light was as the sun was beginning to set last night and ran out to took some shots.  I’m sure the neighbors see me and wonder what I’m doing.  But, hopefully they read my blog and not think I’m losing my mind!

Day 64: Golden Hour
