Hawley Lake Cover Shot Rejects
ah the tough choice of selecting the keepers! The Hawley Lake Cover Shot Competition is limited to 3 entries per photographer . . . so these beauties didn't make the cut but I can post them here because this is my blog and I make the rules! Come to think of it, I made the competition rules too . . . and now I've got to abide by them. Ouch.

Mom - Don't Take My Picture!
When Mom is playing with her camera and editing programs sometimes the guina pigs are a little reluctant. Nonetheless - perfect shots to alter. This is DJs best "alright there take it." I shot in a different format and loved being able to edit the shadows and light to just right.
My 12yr old has 12yr old skin - a little tempermental. We needed some before and after pics for the wedding web site - to show brides what we can do with a bit of editing. I really like this shot - of course if you know him you know he's not usually this calm. I refuse to post the other headshots with the peace signs, the roaring faces, the tongue sticking out . . . did I mention the guina pigs were reluctant??

Pretty Pout
I've been wanting to capture my baby's little pout but she doesn't do it too often. I was playing with some camera settings and plunked her down for a few headshots hoping for a range of expressions. And yeah I got from tears to hollars to pouts and my favorite and oh so Eliya beautiful light up the world smile.
More Amber
not sure how I overlooked these in posting . . . but a few more favs. Really liking the green lens - and I always love a picture with a good laugh. :)
working the camera into the pic was unsual but this hand placement works - makes her look serious - one of the few not giggly pics - did I mention we had fun shooting these? :)
and because I love color - the green, reds, stripes, etc - another fav.

Photographing the Photographer
Talk about nervous! Amber and I decided to shoot each other's bio pics. I was nervous about having my picture taken and then nervous about taking hers! It was definately fun - though a bit odd. We wanted the camera visible in each shot so we had to be conscience of how it was part of the photo. We were totally unprofessional and didn't sign model releases so I'll show restraint and only post one of my favs. :) Amber's bio page of the site www.tenderlookphotography.com shows another series of shots.
"I DO" Photography
I've joined with a friend Amber to begin shooting weddings again. It wont be the same without Danny but I do enjoy her company so we'll definately work well together. We are trying to get the word out so tell your friends! I've built a website to display our pics - hoping to update it soon with more recent weddings! The big challenge at the moment is choosing a domain name that isn't already taken. We had thought "I DO" Photography was cute . . . but it's taken. Post a comment with your idea! We definately could use some help in that area. The site is finished other then resolving the name issue. It's being hosted as part of Patmos Project until we establish our own domain name. www.jjoy.patmosproject.com
Football = Fundraisers
It's almost football season - pads were passed out this weekend . . . that means the fundraising is about to begin! To help the team stay organized and communicate everything I've completed their website. It's currently hosted as part of Patmos Project at www.gatos.patmosproject.com. I'm debating selling this site to other teams and just customize each. As the season begins lots of content will be added but I think this basic framework will be great and foster a very open line of communication between parents and team staff.

a Girl, a Puppy, and a Push Up Pop
Monkey's in the Trees
A week spent with cousins was a blast. Higher elevation brought much cooler temperatures and more playtime outside. My battery died toward the end of my visit so I don't have photos of the mural I was there to create. My niece requested a Parisian theme mural for her room . . . and Voila! C'est Magnifique! My kids joined them at VBS so I could paint in peace. From what I saw on parent night - they had a lot of fun! My younger niece was baptised (again - dead battery so no pics) A lovely visit.
