& the leaves fall…

Ryan and I first met during during his mom & Kyle’s engagement session. He creeped through the tall grass, imitating a lion. He peeked around Kyle’s shoulder at me. He had me with his dimples…but he wasn’t so sure about me.

Then he was the ring-bearer at their wedding. I watched as he dragged his bear around behind him, as he looked up at his mom with his eyes huge with admiration at the beautiful bride. It was hard to tell who had more admiration for Katie, her son Ryan, or her husband-to-be, Kyle. The wedding was all about his parents and he perfected the triad of love…even placing himself in the middle of Katie & Kyle to stare up at their kiss that sealed his family.

Then it was fall, and finally their family fall session. & this time it was all about Ryan. He laughed a big belly laugh the entire time thanks to his connection with both Katie & Kyle…and also thanks to his funny cousin. & this was also the session that we connected…he thought I was pretty funny…& well…I’ve never gotten over his dimples.

Can’t wait to see you at the end of the month at your 2011 fall session, Ryan, Katie & Kyle!

intimateNovella: beautiful you.

fotoNovelettes: Mother’s Day at Westwinds Nursery

A novella is a short novel, which makes a novelette a short novella. I love a great novel, but I also enjoy an insightful magazine article, or blog post, or essay to carry me over in between my big books. So if you’re looking for an in between to carry you over to your next fotoNovella custom session, I have the perfect invitation for you! If I haven’t had the opportunity to capture your story yet, think of this as like downloading the first chapter of a novel, before reading the rest on your Kindle or like peeking at the first few pages of a book in the corner of a bookstore. On Friday and Saturday before Mother’s Day, Westwinds Nursery & I are offering fotoNovelette sessions to anyone who would like their picture taken. Yes, the flyer says ‘moms and their kids’, but it’s actually open to anyone!

I’m here at the nursery today & we’re busy sketching out the designs for the photo park. We’re blocking off a driveway and my dad, Jari is landscaping a park with all kinds of cool nooks to photograph. So, call Westwinds Nursery to schedule your fotoNovelette. See you at the park!
