Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 08:51AM While in Salt Lake vicinity, I had the pleasure of seeing some friends and their babies. Courtney and Lucy's babies are for certain some of the most beautiful children. In the whole wide world. Below are some photos snapped in the 15 minutes before I pulled the whole fall-on-bum-into-gross-mud thing. Ew.
FOR THE CUTENESS!
Love her look- like, why have you put me in a box?
Friday, October 16, 2009 at 09:32PM I have/had a pet rabbit. Well, technically it is not mine. We got it for Isaac's birthday.
Here's my question. Rabbits? Really?
A mouse or a rat scurries across the kitchen floor and chaos ensues. People are up on chairs screaming.
But you get a rodent that not only is about ten times bigger than a rat, has huge deformed supersonic ears, but, wait for it, also can jump up high enough to bite your face off (think monty python), and everyone stops screaming, climbs down from their chairs, and starts saying nonsense like:
"ooh you are a cute little bunny rabbit, aren't you, yes you are."
Maybe bigger really is better, I don't know. But if so, might I introduce the 150 pound Capybara (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capybara)? Because that thing is freaking adorable.

From Wendy's shoot in SLC a few days ago.
Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 12:39AM What's my one-word description of the day, you ask?: INSANE.
Sure, I had warnings that there would be rain. I thought perhaps I'd be bored all day from lack of shooting.
Instead, here's what happened: (see if you can match the pictures below with their description)
Had a downtown Provo shoot early in the a.m. A beautiful high school grad- smart too! Loved the colors she wore mixed with the colors and texture found in the streets.
Went over to West Provo for a shoot with friends and their kids.
Was charged at by mean sheep across the road from said friend's.
I slipped on some mud and went crashing down onto my bum/back. My "friend" grabbed my camera and documented my landing position. Um, thanks so much, Courtney. Lucy and the children looked on, trying to stifle laughter. Thanks, Lucy! Didn't think it hurt until I stood up again and couldn't bend over. Rest of the day was sort of a joke when it came to moving around. Yet....
I still drove to and fro Salt Lake city/provo in order to avoid cancelling any appts. For about 7 hours.
Ate sushi with cousins. I love cousins.
And I did it. I went through this crazy, rainy day, without missing any appointments, without any client having to go pictureless!
VICTORY IS MINE!!!!! (even though I can barely sit or walk.)

I'm afraid we're gonna get rained out of the orchard tomorrow.
BOOOOOO.
Monday, October 12, 2009 at 11:03PM Nice title, eh? Applesauce bum and applesauce knees come from a fruitful day shooting at the apple orchard here in Utah.
Applesauce bum comes from too much sitting and scooting around in half-eaten-by-orchard-deer apples.
Applesauce knees come from falling to my knees laughing so hard at these funny faces kids pull on me. And from repeatedly pretending like I'm dead, falling to my knees, after a 4 year old shoots me with his apple taser.
It's true- when I walk in the house after a full afternoon of shooting, I'm a much happier person. High on life.
And craving applesauce.
