19 hour marathon

I needed to wait until I caught my breath to make this post. Seriously, I have nEvER in almost 5 years finished anything with so much speed! From shooting photographs early that morning (in negative temps) to proofing over a delicious breakfast... Post production, designing cards, sending to the lab... and then in my hands!!! I was amazed to be calling less then 19 hours later - cards are in! Who could this marathon session be for?? None other than my own Mother! P.S. I promised to site my Dad for picking this cool location! I love it when he calls to tell me about interesting new locations to photograph - Good eye Dad!

Sydney: 2010 graduate

It was a bit cold to be on the golf green that afternoon in November. Teeth chattering and noses dripping Sydney and I toughed it out. I suppose some people have built up immunity to the cold. This seemed to be the case of the gentleman - who from what I could tell seemed to have about 80 years plus of "cold immunity". Stopping to shoot the breeze with Syd and I for a minute before taking a wood driver out of his vintage golf bag and hitting quite a long shot! Wow! I didn't even realize the people use golf course after the cheery 60 degree days are over.... News to me! Not being able to bear the chill any longer Syd and I finish up at the green and I head back to my studio to remove the jolly fellow from the background of every photograph. ;)

By the way.... Syd, you rock my socks off!

Sydney - just a peek!

Graduation will be here soon for the class of 2010 and Syd can't wait! We decided to turn her session into multiple shoots - each with a theme. (Of course I am loving this!) The more we talked about her session ... the larger my ideas grew! As soon as she showed me her BeAUtiFUL dress I knew my chandeliers (which had been hanging in my studio since my wonderful husband salvaged them)... would be perfect together! I have been anticipating this shoot since my first glimpse at those sparkly fixtures - just waiting for the perfect opportunity! Syd - I know you are anxious to see these images and there are so many more to show you at your meeting tonight!

To anyone else still reading ;) ... So many more images of Sydney's to post - check back to see more very soon! She happens to be an excellent golfer... Bet you can guess where her next set of images are taken!

Also, Thanks to SJK Studio for Sydney's lovely hair style!
