Here are a couple more pictures from yesterday afternoon of the peacefulness where I live...

The animals are my Gazelle and my sister's dog, Blackie.

Here are a couple of quick pictures of my cousins kitten that I took a few weeks ago. Forgot I had these!

Here are a few pictures that I took this morning on my way out to my parents house today. I love the wide open spaces here, as depicted by the photo below. I wouldnt trade it for anything.

I thought of a great idea today, a photo idea, but I wont be able to put it into place until May or so. Sometime in the spring. Maybe again the fall, I will repeat it. So stay tuned!

The last pictures in the collage below are the front and back sides of Battle Mountain, not too far from Alexis Creek, and the Chilcotin River as well as our driveway.

Whats with the weather this winter? More snow than I can remember for a long time! We used to get a ton of snow when I was a kid, but for the last bit, not so much. Now this year its coming down constantly... today it was warm enough to melt some, now its freezing, and tomorrow rain. Fun driving conditions, indeed!

Brandt was born early this morning at 1239 am to my friends Seralyn and Darcy. I took a bunch of pictures of them this afternoon, but this is my favorite of Mommy and Baby!

I am currently offering a 10% discount off of my $995.00 package to all couples who book me for 2007 and pay in full at the time of booking.

This means that instead of paying $250.00 up front to book the date, and the additional $745.00 plus PST on your wedding day, you just pay a flat rate of $895.50 plus PST (7%) up front. Thats a savings of almost $100.00. A savings of $99.50 infact!! And no hassle of dealing with money on your wedding day...!

This offer is good until Wednesday, February 28, 2007.

Drop me a note, or call me if you have any questions!

Well, I made it back to the wet and snowy Cariboo on Monday afternoon. And its coming down hard and fast right now... ack!!

My time in San Antonio was quite amazing really. The photographers that I connected with, the things that I learned, and the whole experience was well worth it. Even my disappearing tooth's act... but thats another story!

Photoshop will become my friend this year!!

The passion that our instructors had for both their work and for their clients, was trully inspiring. And that sums it up perfectly. Thank you!

Today was our third day at DWFU2. Kevin Kubota's class. I learned so much from him today, the tuition I spent was worth it just to see what he had to say!!

Special thanks to Andree Kehn for the wonderful image you see to the right!

I am currently in San Antonio, Texas attending DWFU2!! Today's class involved a live model shoot using new techniques that we learned today about creating our own style. I want my style to be: simple, playful, sexy, real, and energetic. Here's one of the images I came up with... and there are more down below. Special thanks to our models!!

I am housesitting for the next month, so thought I would take some pictures of the animals that live where my new temporary home is. I took all of these with my 85mm 1.4 lens. It is sweeeet!!!

First off, there are four dogs, four cats, seven horses, one pony, two llamas, two alpacas, one cow, one steer, two donkeys, an African Grey parrot, two parakeets, three pygmy goats, and a bunch of chickens, geese, and ducks!!!

These are only a few of the animals, so stay tuned for more pictures!

She's pretty cute isnt she? Not like we needed another dog, but we gave her to my Grandpa and now he has given her back as he does not have enough time to look after a puppy.

Her name is Curley. We already have a cat named Curley. So she is Curley Two. Either that will become Curley Sue or Curlew. I vote for Curlew.

She's very cute. And very smart!!!

Gazelle has sure grown a bunch since she was born, almost five months ago now!!

Thanks for the photo, Krista :)

Now, a few shots of the best brother ever.. Willi!!

Here are a couple of pictures that I took of Cliff and his girlfriend Teri when I last saw them in August. Both claim to not like having their pictures taken, these turned out pretty nice, if I do say so myself!! I grew up with Cliff, and we had some fun times together. Like when we went to Disneyland, when we were in Preclub 4-H, when I babysat his little brother, when I pushed him into the river...... the list goes on and on. I get first dibs on taking the wedding pictures!! Love ya dude, enough that I won't post a picture of you with pink shoelaces...yet!!
