Little Leonard


Now if I knew I would have kids this cute I would probably have a dozen! He has the bluest eyes ever and was just so happy during the whole session, well except when we tried to put him on his tummy! Jessica and Matt you have the sweetest little guy ever, I can't wait to work with you guys again in June!

more on the building progress

Corey on the roof! I will be glad when he is done up there and I don't have to worry about him falling off!

Waylon has been a bit out of sorts with this whole building project. I think he is upset that I took away his view of the backyard with my studio. Don't worry buddy, we'll have a fence soon and you will have the run of the place!






3 walls and the beginings of a roof!







wall 2 of 3, oh man it was so fun to watch this go up!

Wall 1 of 3
Ahh, the rain was not our friend!


sub floor installation

here is the insulation finished, just before it started to rain...whew!

Corey hard at work! We had to race against time to get the floor insulation in so that the builders could put the subfloor in the next day! I had to poke these wire things in that are called tiger teeth, which is what holds up the insultation. Go me!



This is the heating and AC ducts.
here are a few more pic's to show our progress. From here it will go much slower, because we will be doing most of the work. Corey has been working on the roof and it is slow going, but we should be done by the end of the week. Then we will start on the siding and painting along with the gutters. I must say I am a little anxious to get the inside done so I can start to paint and buy furniture and actually use the space! Well I guess all good things come with time! Sorry I know this is the longest post of all times!

Before





I was in Wyoming last week shooting some of my clients children, and visiting my mom! It was so good to be back and see where I grew up! Unlike Oregon, not much if anything has changed!
While I was gone, Corey was home and super busy! Here is a look at the progress of the studio! I can't believe it is finally happening, we have talked about it so much and now it's here!
Framing will go up today, so it will start looking more and more like an actual room.
More to come...

Red hair and blue eyes


When I have kids I hope they have red hair. I got to photograph this little guy for the first time on Friday, and he was a hoot! He was so fun! I had a hard time decideing which was my favorite, he was way to cute in all of them.
