photo shoot

checking out the scenery of a new spot and lovin it.

im a fool in love

Im a kissin fool in love with not only my brandon but with my new favorite toy. adobe photoshop! i have had it for the past year but have recently been shown just a few new insights to what it can do. my girlfriend and i swapped photo taking for the family christmas card and this was just one of the many fun photos. i played for a while on photoshop to doctor it up----so........ i guess this is two artists work put into one. i have an amazing love for photography and taking anyones picture in sight. to me it is art- capturing the very essence of a moment or a personality. i spend countless hours searching the web for ideas and am always on the lookout for a new spot to take pictures. someday it will be my full time job... right now it is a side job and a passion.

week long halloween

the week started off with londys halloween party at school. she obviously wore her costume and got to play games, decorate cupcakes and herself with frosting if we are telling it like it is.

she even gave away a few sweet treats... i have no idea where she learned this :)

the next day was halloween itself. and we have a new tradition. my good friend lindsey and her family always have a big block party/neighborhood bbq on halloween and this year kari and i stole the idea. we set up camp at about 5:00- several families joined us for a mexican fiesta followed by a big fire and passing out of candy. the ladies sat in the front yard and the daddies took the kiddos trick or treating. it was such a treat to be with friends instead of sitting in the house alone passing candy. and all the trick or treators thought they hit the mother load when they got to her house and realized there were 8 moms passing candy instead of one. all in all a blast of a night
