dinner with friends
several friends gathered for dinner at alison and justin's new place. alison made a family recipe BBQ, a steaming hot chicken pot pie, and three cheese, bacon bread. we all brought dishes to compliment and a feast was born. for desert, alison made a chocolate cake with a warm chocolate ganache. it was a lovely evening full of laughter and wonderful flavours.

Alison and Justin
meet Alison and Justin... they met on a kickball field, he proposed on a kickball field, and we felt that a kickball should be a part of the shoot.
we met on what may have been one of the hottest evenings of the year in a secret garden in tower grove park--at least it was a secret to me! they didn't care about the heat, and oh, what fun we had!

the birthday girl!
juni turned 5 years old, and for her birthday, mom and dad threw a party with a circus theme.
there were clown races, a tin can toss and pie throwing... juni especially enjoyed the pie throwing. :)
mom did a phenom job of creating all the perfect touches while dad made a jovial and pie soaked clown.
it was super hot, but there were plenty of laughs and cooling off with the hose. but, the cupcakes in ice cream cones were a super sweet highlight!!
happy birthday, juni! (click here for more pics!)
hangin' out in metropolis
back in june, the dude and i took a little trip to metropolis, illinois--the home of superman!
it was truly an experience as there a lot of super heroes wandering the streets. there was a man of steel on every corner--like santas at xmas!
not only were there costumes, but there tasty treats and a carnival atmosphere. we never did get a funnel cake, but we did suck down a good deal of fresh squeezed lemonade.
the real treat, however, were the fan films shown in the evening. i highly recommend the adventures of tiny superman. there was also an induction ceremony of the red mullet into the league of superheroes!
if you're ever able to attend... grab your tights and cape and follow the super hero trail to metropolis!

reaching out...
i took this at laumeier sculpture park in 2008. this young man and his friends were climbing all over a sculpture; i stood in front of them and shot a random series... this kid had so much character!
this is one of hundreds of captures that i never processed. if only i could edit as a full time job for maybe... three weeks? i could get caught up.
or maybe that's wishful thinking.

just visiting
i recently completed a really fantastic lightroom class, and i cannot even begin to describe how excited and grateful i am.
if you are ever in need, i highly recommend Jeff Hirsch for his enthusiasm, expertise and vast amounts of patience. learning how to use lightroom has effectively shifted my perspective and work flow in a significant way--just as i had hoped.
after the class, i started migrating my old photos from iphoto to lightroom. i'm seeing more in my shots than i did initially.
i hope you enjoy the changes coming down the pike.

st mark class of 2010
on a hot and stormy spring day the class of 2010 crossed over... over the rainbow.
as the class began their entrance for their eighth grade graduation service, the skies opened up and a massive storm erupted. the service was lovely and the rumble of thunder eventually faded.
as the graduates lined up to receive their diplomas the skies cleared and a beautiful double rainbow emerged from the rains.
it was a lovely evening, and i believe, a happy omen for a group of bright and delightful graduates!

happy good man day... take a nap...
a friend of mine posted on facebook a comment about father's day. she suggested that we change the day to good man day, to celebrate the good men in our lives whether or not they have fathered children.
i gave her a hearty HERE! HERE! and reposted with abandon. i know many, many good men who deserve a good man day... my own boyfriend for one. so, i gave him an extra hug and made him waffles and sausage for breakfast. (i was going to make him breakfast anyway, but the extra hug was, well... extra. as was the undisturbed nap with his pup, chopper, pictured above.)
but, there are also a lot of fabulous dad's out there. to them, i also wish a good man day and a happy father's day. here is to your own undisturbed nap!
