Postcards

March 21, 2009

So, I know you all have been anxiously awaiting to see what the rusty hinge was for!

Well The time has come to show it off to the world! I have made some free postcards that I will be putting around small towns surrounding the Boise Area. I have decided to celebrate small town America, because that is what I grew up in and LOVE. I hope to raise my children in a small town environment, and make SURE they have small town manners! One of my friends likes to call it “Gods Country.” Its true, nothing beats wide open spaces, friendly neighbors, hard work and miles and miles of wheat fields!

I did not make this idea up on my own! Bryan and Leah Rupp of Bryan Rupp Photography came up with the idea and made postcards for there town in Newberg, Oregon. So, if you are needing pictures taken and you are SOOO sad because you live on the western side of Oregon and I am unable to travel, have no fear! These two are excellent photographers and would love to take your picture!!! :-)

cpoyright PBJM!

Be looking for these in libraries and coffee shops in “small towns” around Boise. and stay tuned for more postcard awesomeness to come at a later date!!!

J and J baby bump!

March 20, 2009

J and J are excitedly awaiting the birth of their first son! These two are fun people that will make excellent parents! I am excited to see the little one, cuz I am sure he will be adorable. I mean look at the parents, how can he not be cute!?!

Due to rainy weather all day, we decided to stay inside. I’m pretty sure the neighbors were wondering what the heck was going on as I walked into the house with rolls of fabric and lights and …

Not to mention that my dog was with me. (He goes everywhere with me and sits in the car while I do my thing, then we go to the park or walk or something to praise him for his excellent behavior!) They also have a dog, that looks very similar to mine, so we decided to let them play. Did I mention that it had been raining all day? Needless to say, the day resulted in muddy paws, a tired photographer, curious neighbors, and EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHS! :-)

Enjoy!

Really, I cant wait to see the new baby boy! He might be an easter baby, his due date is one day before Easter!!!

J and J, I will have the rest of your pictures up soon, I know you will like them!

Handpainting photographs

March 9, 2009

This may date me a little…but when I first started out in photography, digital cameras were just a very cool concept. As they slowly made their depute, they were crazy expensive, but soon became the norm, and film has almost became a lost art. This both saddens me and brings me joy. I have many fond memories of the darkroom, and nothing beats watching the image appear before your eyes. The darkroom is truly a whole other art. If you worked with film much you know that not only do you have to be a wiz at photography, ie fstop, aperture etc. but also at the processing in the darkroom. When I got my first digital camera, I was ecstatic, but a little leery. Now I don’t know what I would do without it!!! The convenience of being able to look and see if i got the image, or if you are squinting is amazing! And, though I still tip my hat to the darkroom talents of film, photoshop also requires a bit of talent!

I remember processing film, then getting out the paints, and painstakingly trying to match the colors and shadows and hi-lights correctly in order to get images like the following. Though it still requires a steady hand, Zoom is amazing, and the time to achieve striking images tike the following is cut in half, easily. Ok, I will stop babbleing about boring tecnical stuff and show you the pictures. After all, that is why you are here, right!?

Mommy and baby – boise portraits

March 2, 2009

This weekend we had a special visitor come to our house! one Of my dearest friends and her baby boy came to visit us, while daddy had to go out of town to take care of some family business. We had a blast!!!! It was great to see the boys interact and to get to catch up with each other. We had a lot of things to do, but of corse we made room for a photo session.

We are really happy you came and hope you had as much fun as we did! Know that you are always welcome at our house, but next time we are coming to the warmth of Arizona! :-) We are praying for your family as they encounter the times ahead! Love ya! and Enjoy the pictures!! :-)

It was interesting to see how the boys interact! They are 6 months apart, and were very aware of one another and wanted the other one to see the toys and things they were doing, but were no sure how to actually “play” together. I know it wont be long till these two are tearing it up! :-)
