honored.

i'm always blown away when other photographers compliment and admire my work.  it's especially cool when i'm an admirer of their work too.  stacey malleck contacted me about taking their family pictures and i was so flattered.  she's got a good eye and great style and a sweet family, so of course i jumped at the opportunity.

it's always a little nerve wracking taking pictures of another photographer, but it's also nerve wracking being a photographer and having your picture taken, so i'm not sure which one of us was more uncomfortable!  but being who i am, i just made a few inappropriate comments and everyone relaxed right away.

the kids were so desperate to play in the puddles, so after we got a few pictures of the family, we freed them.  and they didn't disappoint.  you can always spot a photographer's children...they're the ones that don't care when the camera comes out.  they don't even give you the time of day.  they just go about their business.  which happened to be getting filthy dirty in this case.

did i mention stacey is a photographer?  well she is.  you can find her here.  and here.  she wanted a few pictures of her with her camera that she could use for promotional purposes, so while she channeled tyra, i did my best annie leibovitz impersonation and i think we came up with some really cute pictures.  because stacey is really cute.

side note: the people of blueberry junction were so generous to let us use their property and feature the incredible fall colors of the blueberry bushes.  even though the season is over, you can still order amazing organic frozen berries from them here.  each of their bushes are hand trimmed to help produce extra large berries!
