So as I started going through and editing Marcy & Tony’s session from yesterday I knew instantly that I had to get this one up and show all of you! Eric & I were LOA’sO!!!  We call this our ‘freeze sucka’ shot!  Yes this is how the whole shoot went.  There wasn’t a dull moment.  And this idea just sort of happened when we suggested doing a ’strip search’ kind of pose…Tony was like ‘You mean like this?’…’How about this?!!!’ OMG. I love it!  It’s amazing when our sessions just sort of take on a ‘life of their own’.  It seems like every time there’s a constant theme.  Either laughter, silliness, calmness, or pure chaos.  Now that I think about it…they all embody these characteristics and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanks you two for totally bringing it…CANNOT wait to do it again!

Fourth round of photographs from The Click’ outing.  Phew…I didn’t think there would be sooooo many rounds.  I still have two more sets of models to post!!!  Imagine if we’d photographed them all!  Wowie…I’d be in over my head in editing and PP. (well I kinda am already) So next up is the lovely Amy.  I do have to say she’s the quite calm type but boy o’ boy did she give me some great stuff to work with.  I kept telling her ‘work it, work it…think couture model…LOL!’  This is when she would bust out laughing…cause she’s like ‘what does that look like?!!!’  So…check. Got the ‘in the moment’ shots.  But when she wasn’t really paying attention to me is when I got the really cool shots.  The lighting was glowing at this time and perfectly coming through the tall Sedona trees.  Thanks again Amy for letting me make you laugh & getting me to giggle by your husband carrying you all over the place through those wicked pokey weeds.  Those suckers will jump out and get cha.  Kinda of like the cholla cactus here in Tucson.

Third round of photographs from ‘The Click’ outing in Sedona.  Emily & Elliot…everyone called them E & E.  They were such good sports.  We asked them…actually made them …climb down the banks of a fairly steep wash to get these shots.  Now remember Emily was wearing a borrowed cute white jacket.  Red soil…white jacket, not a great mix.  That’s why Eric held it most of the time.  Again he’s always holding peoples stuff…what a trooper! Thanks you guys for trusting us…but it was sooooo worth it!  I can only describe these photos as gentle…if that makes any sense. They are a beautiful couple and it was a pleasure to photograph them!!!

Second round of photographs from ‘The Click’ outing in Sedona.  Mickey & Jesse were awesome…but they should be!!! Jesse is Joe Pangburn’s brother, so he’s gotta have lots of practice .  We shot in this little park area down by the creek…their suggestion BTW.  It rocked and so did the strange substance that ended up all over my clothes from the rollin’ around in the grass.  Nobody could figure out what it was and I’m not sure I care to know…really!!!  Funny thing was, all the other photographers that saw it though it was part of my clothing design.  GO FIGURE!  We love to shoot couples so we of course had a blast.  Mickey & Jesse are soooo photogenic and both hammed it up…as you will see!!!  Chess anyone?
 

The other day we received a little gem in the mail.  To our delight it was from a local Tucson company called ‘Originate’ (http://www.originatenbm.com/). They specialize in eco-friendly natural building materials.  And hey since were remodeling our house completely we decided to check em out on our day off.  So that’s what we did!  They were profiling this ecosmart fireplace…and Eric was instantly in LOVE.  I think he loves them more then me @ the moment. Ha. No seriously.  We’ve been searching for a cleaver solution for our empty brick old fireplace. Their eco-friendly because they’re fueled by renewable modern energy called ‘denatured ethanol’.  Burns clean & is maintenace free. Ethanol is an absolute alcohol, produced by fermentation of sugars orginating from agricultural & forestry products; mainly sugarcane, potatoes, bananas, beetroot and recently from cereals such as wheat.  It’s also greenhouse compliant which results in clean emissions.  Wowie…now we just have to save the big bucks for ours & how do we decide on a favorite.  What’s your’s?  Click on the images below to be taken to the site.
