It's a BIRD, It's a PLANE... It's TANNER!

I seem to think there is nothing more hilarious than "photo-shopping" someone's head on the body of a cartoon character, a superstar or famous athlete.  Or how about putting the head of an avid BYU fan (my neighbor) on the body of a decked out U of U fan, print the pictures and mail them out?! Check. The possibilities are endless!  So when Tanner came home telling me he needed to decorate a 2-liter bottle that would be launched into the sky for his 4th grade field day it only took me about 2 seconds to grab my camera and head into the backyard for a "superman" photo shoot.  Does this ever get old?  Not on your life! It happens to be just as great the 10th time as it was the first time when we put his head on the body of Andre Kirilenko for his valentine box in 2nd grade!  So here he is, my 10 year old superman. 

I also decided to post this lovely photo in honor of the CRAZIER than life last-week-of school we have been having.  I think I should have put my picture on the head of Wonder Woman after attending countless talent shows, water parties, award assemblies, dinosaur fairs, birthday parties, field trips, & swimming lessons. 

Phew...we have been busy. 

I have OODLES of photos to edit and lots of gorgeous pictures to post in the coming days.   The blog has been slightly neglected, I'm excited to get it up to date.

But... not today.

  

No Trespassing, No Photographers!

That is what the sign (actually MULTIPLE signs) said when I arrived at our planned destination for this photo shoot. AHH!!! I needed a plan B and fast. What was sure to be a tragedy in my mind ended up being a beautiful surprise. My lovely neighbors allowed me to use their property and I could not be more happy with the results. The scenery was stunning. And it SURE doesn't hurt that THIS class of 2011 is lookin' mighty fine! We got spirit, yeah, we got spirit, yeah! Woop, now I'm just getting carried away.

Me and sweet Ave enjoying a warm day on the trampoline.  It was sunny so we couldn't keep our eyes open for the camera.  It wasn't until I looked at the shot that I realized she was sticking out her tongue.  Ha, ha!

I've got an itch...

for pictures with green grass, warm sunlight and beautiful faces!!! Today's session actually made me believe that spring might just be here! Bring it on!

Custom Projects / Baptism Invitation

Custom Projects / LDS Young Womens ideas

Here are a few custom projects I did recently for different Young Womens/LDS events.  I love to hear the details of their great ideas.  Because heck, you never know when I may need to come back and copy someone's great idea!

This first one they did a combined New Beginings and YW in Excellence.  Everything was based on a sports theme with all leaders in Referee shirts.  They decorated with pennants in the value colors and served popcorn and hot dogs.
 

The next one was all done in a Movie theme.  They even had a "red carpet" and had previously made a video which was shown depicting the girls displaying their projects for the year.
