i am so excited about the new venture that we are taking here at our studio.  we can't reveal what it is just yet.....all i can say is that it is going to blow the socks right off of your feet!  here is a photo that i took at the metal shop during assembly.  we will have more to come soon but i thought i would tempt you with this image.

when the weather is unbearable, i just want to sit inside and never go back out.  today i was wiped out from the 103 degree weather that i took a nap during gymnastics class.  yes!  i laid down on the bench to rest and fell asleep during her lesson.  the 10 minute nap was amazing; or was it 20?  when we got home she threw on her swim suit and went straight for the sprinkler.  she is getting so big and this is really her first time to not be so frightened by the water hitting her face.   thought i would share with you a few shots that i took with my new 50mm 1.2.  i heart!

who knew that starting at a sticky farmers market would be perfect for this couple!  i had it in me to think outside of the box and find a different spot to shoot (never shot at before) when i woke up. before sessions i like to gather some facts about the couple, understand what they enjoy together,  so i have some ideas flowing....but we did not get that far.   we had a get to know you session in the car on the way to the location!  the first thing that they mentioned that they do together is eat! i keep talking trying to ask them more.... then they threw out that they backpacked throughout asia together!  i was so excited the car was going towards the direction of the farmers market.  it would be more than perfect to shoot there and i knew it would bring back some good memories from their travels.  i had a wonderful time hanging out with them and trying to avoid the summer heat!  here are some from their hot day!

Sara Montour said: Perfection. I'm rereading The Alchemist right now and there are so many quotes that I cherish and identify with; especially as I'm jumping into a new phase of my photography career. It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. (07.16.09 @ 03:59 PM)
