dessert time

photo shoot of my nieces and nephews during my last trip to utah. for some reason when I look at these images as a whole I feel like crying....and not in a "these are so hideous I can't stand looking at them" sort of way, but in a, "really? you're that big...that old..that smart?". It's almost more than I can stand. these kids are just so delicious, they give me a permanent stomach ache.

nellie & kent

since I choose one of their images for my "image of the week" I decided I better give you a closer view.

here a just a couple of colorful shots to look at while I work through editing the rest...

the mailman

I revisited these images this week for a past client. He was commissioned to sculpt both the statues of Karl Malone and John Stockton that live outside the Delta Center in SLC. I took some photos of him working in the final stages of the Malone statue. seriously amazing. it took up his entire front room...and then some. How do you keep your perspective working on something that large? How do you create a head 10 times the size of yours?

see more of is work here.

children kids

some of my friends are part of this new childrens cartoon. the artwork is fantastic and the little voice they use for the main character is perfect.

way to go devon & alicia. I can't wait to see more!

the odom family

too many favorites..lots of series sets.

always love my time with the whole "crew". thanks for the ladder, the chocolate banana milkshake the size of my head, and for liking mia michaels choreography. next time longer...maybe weekend vacation to CA?

under construction

my friend jared is an amazing artist. go to his show this friday in SLC... seriously, you'll regret it if you don't.

see more of his work here.

this little guy

...more tomorrow!

pirates cove 2008

10+ years ago this was a spring break dream. there was never any thought to any other place we would rather go. there was no place better. now 10yrs later, there is still no place better. I'm usually not one for staying at one place more than a couple of days, but I can honestly say I could spend 2 weeks at pirates cove and still not have had enough time.

the slides, the pool side chairs, the weather, the water temperature, grilling meat, smores, the views, the TV's, the waterproof remote control, the babies.....all the adorable babies, the music, the blue floaty mats, cold water in every fridge, the ice cream machine, the hammocks....oh the hammocks, the hammock up top, the hammocks over the pool, the hot tubs, going double down the slide, the rattlesnakes, the misty fans, the mermaid and merman club, all the stairs, high school girlfriends all grown up with beautiful families.....

we loved pirates cove!! thank you to beana and her family for being so fun and generous. We missed captain jack (aka: craig) but felt nothing but love for the fabulous hiatus he created.

here are some highlights from the weekend. (you may recognize one of my usual muses....love that face.)
