spring

I have been contemplating doing a floral fine art series and inspiration is everywhere including my own backyard where our peach trees are blossoming. Yay Spring!

I have been inspired by what some of the larger companies are doing for the environment such as Whole Foods not handing out anymore plastic bags after today! I am challenging myself to find a "green" wedding album company. It will be interesting to see what's out there... perhaps bamboo paper? I'll let you know what I uncover.

I had lots of fun letting the kids loose on an art project this afternoon! Our neighbors got some new patio furniture and I asked them for the big cardboard box it came in ( Thanks, Tinkers!). We cut a door and windows and this afternoon we got out the paints and went to town. Luke& Sophia were so into it. The clean up was epic but it's all good!

Johnson & Wales University

Paul spent four days with a video crew ( and video lighting!) photographing images for Johnson & Wales University to use on their new website. While photographing with a video crew held a few challenges, overall it was great! Johnson & Wales is one of our favorite clients - we feel like we are part of one big family there!

Pablo - my hero!

Whoo boy, what a week. Our 21 month old had the flu and so did I so the night before this shoot Paul was up four times with the baby and had to get up at 5 a.m. . He helped me with the kids until I could peel myself off the floor ( literally) and then ran around town picking up props and prepping for two shoots at CSU for the Design News "Gadget Freak" winners. I knew Paul was in bad shape because he actually called in an assistant last minute - his friend and super pro stylist Kari Kisch  ( thanks Kari!). Paul never does that kind of thing but he wanted some good help and basically someone to keep him awake. Well, he totally pulled it off!  The first image is of the inventors of a jukebox that actually reads the mood of the room and plays appropriate music (the  three inventors in front in costumes styled to their musical preferences). The second image is of a robot that can be mobile on extreme surfaces, the inventors are shown directing a movie and the props are our three year olds dinosaur toys. Paul came up with both concepts and pulled off these shoots completely sleep deprived. Some days I don't know how he does it.
