I’m back from Montana, and gearing up to take some great portraits and a couple weddings, but first I want to tell you about the last couple of weeks.  The fair was in town…it just left, actually.  And I am very happy it is over.  We live close enough to the fair grounds that I can hear it…and it is noisy, and it smells like B.O.  It is not the livestock that bothers me.  I was a 4-H kid, so I know a little about the fair, but this is not your average fair…it is overcrowded and understaffed.  (ok, so maybe that is average!)  Am I the only one, or when you are in a large group standing in a line, feel a little like cattle being herded down the shoot to get branded, or worse castrated?  Cuz that is what I felt like at the fair!  I think my nervousness and annoyance rubbed off on E-man a little, because the only thing he really liked was a pony ride he got to go on, and a sheep…that he made out with!

He is like his mom, he is a free spirit and loves to run…

He is actually chasing geese, I have tried to explain to him why ducks are better, but its always the geese he runs after.  Edgar, of course, was close behind to protect him from any danger!  :)

I also got my new sample books in, and they look great!

If you are interested in ordering one, Let me know and I will be sure to tell you all the info.  And if you happen to see your name on one of the albums, I will be giving you the album in about a year when I update my samples again!

And last…here is a little preview of what is to come…

So thats what has been going on around here.  What have you been up to?  I hope you all have a great day!

This last Saturday was the Boise Jamba Juice Grand opening for their new store.   I was not busy being Boise’s favorite wedding photographer, so  I went to the opening with my son Elijah!  It was GREAT FUN!

As some of you may know, I grew up in Montana, where every town is a small town!  :)  We did not have luxuries like Jamba Juice there.  Around my junior year we did get a Junga Juice (different from Jamba), but is has since gone.  When I came to college, I got to experience Jamba, and Im glad I did!  Some good friends of mine and I use to roller blade to the Jamba Juice on Milwaukee (also gone), and get our favorites.  Will a Razzmatazz, and me an Orange Berry Blitz.  We marked it on our calendars when the Power size and the sixteen oz. size came out!  In fact I still remember that the sixteen oz. debut on October 16th!

Now, Jamba juice still plays an important part in my life today.  Many Photographers have superstitions and always eat the same breakfast before a shoot, or always wear the same shoes, etc.  I go to …you guessed it…Jamba Juice to celebrate after finishing up at a wedding or chasing your little ones all over the place trying them to hold still long enough for me to take a picture!  and now with the new location I can go after EVERY shoot, not just occasionally, it is my new “superstition!” What can I say I love my Jamba!

So, if you are on Eagle road, be sure to stop in and get a Jamba Juice at the new store.  Its on Eagle and McMillian connected to the Albertsons there!  And of course you can still get your Jamba on at the Edwards 21 Cinema location.

Now for a picture of my son enjoying a tasty treat at the grand opening(did you really expect me to NOT have a photo? What can I say, Im a photographer!)
