Does anyone that reads my sorry, sad silly drivel have this malady?  It’s making me INSANE.  i can not sleep, my legs twitch and i have to move them all the time.  ARGH!  wait, maybe a shot of vodka……………

my goodness at how time flies! I sure had a blast in the park today with you guys. Lots of laughter, and fun. Did he take any sticks home with him? ha ha. Busy little man. I kinda had something in mind when we found that last tree, and the light was so amazing, i hope you like the end result as much as i did. Charley travel safe, and thank you for protecting our country! Amber, i love the tat on your foot of the dragon fly, way cool. ok ok, here’s a couple sneak peeks of todays shoot. (well, yesterday as its almost 3 am now. )

the light was truly spectacular. People don’t always realize how critical the right light and right time of day are in making your portraits. I couldn’t have done this earlier in the day, no way.

see, this is one straight from the camera, no adjusting. isn’t it lovely ? Again, late afternoon light. ( 6-7 pm)

ok, there is an infestation at the park. no lie. ive never in my life seen so many. makes me think of that game where you boink em on the head when they pop outta their hole ha ha.

Ok, i gotta admit it’s was hot as HECK out there!!! Holy cow. The sweet officiant almost passed out! He got wobbly and his voice got weak, and some guys ran over to him, got him some water and a chair. He was a older gentleman and he had a long heavy black coat on. that was freaky!!! Anyways, the rest was wonderful! Chrissy was amazing. She was down for whatever, and we ran all over C da! We saw some rockin motorcycles and i had her stand by them being all cool and gorgeous, and this one dude comes up behind me and goes ” hey that is my bike right here in front of you and if she wants to she can sit on it or whatever, and you can use it for some picks!” of course i freaked out. he he. It was such a GORGEOUS bike, thank you again John, Your motorcycle is a work of art! Anyways, we had a blast and the day flew by! We went to Tub hill, and to some  bars down town and then to the dam.  The water is way high and fast, the roar is amazing!

Mike it was so cool meeting you, and Chrissy, i just love ya. Here’s some picks to check out!

hugs!

Lori

Gina and i bonded thru texting. ha ha.  She thought i was sorta cool, because i kept writing to her. lmao.  anyways, when she came out w/ tom, we all hit it off…  of courrrse. geesh.  Anyways i think we are gonna have a BLAST this friday! I can’t wait!

Here’s a couple engagement picks.

More fun!  beautiful Jamie.  Thank you for coming out and hangin with me.  your totally cool!

The sky was amazing tonight as the sun was sinking.  I grabbed ambers camera and made a few images just because.

Her boyfriend, Zack asked me “do you take pictures ALL THE TIME”?  i said.. well,…….

yes.

i do.

A part of what i like to do is work with kids. What better way than to shoot sports picks?  I love soccer especially, my kids have all grown up in it.  here’s a couple late teams that we did this spring.  Thank you Dan, for coming back to me every year.  As a side note, a lot of the kids i shot sports of as 6-7-8 year olds are coming in for senior picks now.  I’ve been at it a while i guess.

Cheney Storm

and the Marooners.

Well, Brandi’s sister Christi is a regular client of mine, and her sister loves my work.  So, they were going to be in town for a few days and Christi asked if i would do some photos of them since they just got married.  Well, of course i will!  So, we met up down town spokane and went to my fav places to make some interesting and fun picks.

We shot a while, and while they looked really cute, i just wasn’t feeling it with their clothing. So, i asked if they minded if we ran over to Value Village to see if we couldn’t find some interesting clothing.  Of course, being Christi’s sister, she is down for whatever (my kinda people! ha! ) So, off we go.

I get there first and am wandering thru their clothing (formal) wear, and i find this gown.

Good lord.. it’s PERFECT.  Red Velvet, classy and lovely

Next, we are off to find footwear… he he… oh, and look, a shawl/wrap.. oh that is perfect also! Tory goes and finds a jacket to go w/ his jeans, he looks good!

WOOT!  yeah!  we are ready!

So, we go back to where we were shooting before, and the sky is gorgeous, and i know we are gettin late in the the day, so we trudge up a hill, and i get low, and get some fab sky images.

Anyways, I send Christi a email sayin “hey, they are online, have her peek” right?

She emails me back….

OH MY GOD THEY LOOK SO AWSOME!!! THANK YOU!! Brandi is going to DIE!!!! I called and let her know they are online!!

he he.. i think she likes em.  So, i will hush now and share.

I like them also.  The people and the images. What fun we had.

L

ps… i didn’t mention.. it had been raining and raining… when i got there, the sun came out and it was PERFECT light.. No lie. . So, now they think i got connections. he he… OoooOOoooo  who knows!

have kicked my asssssss!  good lord im  beat!  I have been working in the yard all day every day. Today we took the bobcat and moved the bamboo, good lord, it was HUGE.  Once i had it pulled up i had it on it’s side and took a saw to it.  Cut that bad boy down. I divided it out, so i can make a secret garden on the side of the house.  It will be SOOO cool. Im going to relay the brick pathway and have it curvy.  I think also a cool bench in there somewhere, and some huge leaved plants.  then some hangin lights, and ahhhhh.. a hidden bower.  i will take some picks to share here in the am. Anyways, i have sore muscles and torn up hands but im sure it will be ever so worth it.  We also poured a pad for the pedestal planter urns.  I pressed large leaves in the cement, should be cool.  Thank the lord my brother likes to play in the mud right?
