Life as Art

Kelsey Young - VERY Sneak Peek

OK Kelsey - you win! You even make the "blue" couch look fresh and fun - I love this pic! ; )  But there are lots more in MY locations too! ( wink!)  lol!!

Justin + Tara - The E-session

We (the Winton clan) were SO excited when we heard about this wedding.  We've known Tara and Justin for several years now through the Arts Center of Canon County.  That's where Tara works, directs plays and is over the summer conservatory.  She manages to pull incredible things from people in a soft-spoken, even-tempered way that totally AMAZES me.  Justin is an incredibly talented actor, and also manages to get astounding things from the kids during summer conservatory.  They ADORE him.  I could hang out with Tara anytime, anywhere - she just has the most wonderful energy. Seeing the two of them together (especially when they thought I wasn't looking) was awesome. ;)   Expect great things from this wedding!!  Here are a few while I'm editing...there will be more! 

This last one was shot from my car in the parking lot when they didn't know I was shooting.... Love it!

Dylan + Callie - A few more!

Here are a few more favorites as I'm finishing up Dylan & Callie's slideshow.  Such a fun - and Sweet couple!  Loved this wedding!  Loved it!! (NO, it was not just the chocolate!)

How cute is he?!!

 

 

 

The Hutchin's Girls --Gorgeous!

TONIGHT at Capalano's - downtown McMinnville

A benefit concert for the McMinnville Jaycee's Christmas program for children.  I think you'll enjoy the music - which is all ages from 6:30 - 8:00 (no smoking).  

Drew Miller will be there playing his original tunes, followed by Bangkok Rust who will rock the house! It's good music for a good cause - you can't go wrong! $5.00 at the door - little folks 10 and under get in free. I've also heard a rumor that an acoustic show will follow in the "cave" - be the first to hear the new music coming from these young songwriters.

Ava King - Turns One

Here's sweet Ava at one year old.  This little muffin is going from baby to toddler and she's using more than just her big baby blues to communicate. : )  We snuck this session in kind of late one evening and she wasn't too sure how she felt about the whole thing.  She wasn't crazy about the dresssed up part - so we changed and went to the library.  Ava LOVES books - so that was a big hit.  Then we went back home and decided to get down to basics - a diaper, mommy and jewelry - a great combination to make a happy girl!

 

Nathan + Kate - The Slideshow

At long last, after much musical deliberation, and a nasty computer virus - here is the slideshow from Nathan and Kate's beautiful wedding.  Beautiful Moments - holding hands on either side of the door before seeing each other for the first time, a bride's brilliance as she looks up at her soon to be husband while walking down the aisle; toasts and laughter, first dances and of course "snake farm" :)   It was a night to remember and I hope this slideshow makes you smile! Please be patient it may take a bit to upload - just click the pic below...

Daddy share's a sympathy yawn.  : )

 

 

 

Ok, I'm sorry, everything has been sweet up till now - but I could NOT resist this expression!!!  I would welcome any comments on what you think she's thinking!!! : )

 

 

 

This is why I don't let anyone else edit my pictures...

Here's my version of the Barnes Family on Rhonda & Michael's Wedding day.

and here is Michael's. LOL! 

On the editing desk - babies, babies, babies

Up next will be little Jenna Kate Mullins - newborn session.  She's so sweet and she has a head-full of dark hair.  Very excited to see this little muffin grow!  I'm still working, but thought I'd post a couple for Tina.

Procrastination - it's underrated

...and the buttercups hung their heads in shame; whispering to each other "Alas, once again we've bloomed too early!"
