For a while now I've been meaning to post some fun photos of my family that we've taken over the course of the last three months. Now that there are so many different entries that I SHOULD have done I decided to group them all together into one.
I know that I need to be better about posting photos and events right after they actually happen. I think it would make my life a whole lot easier instead of waiting like I have now. Oh well, can't magically go back to the past, so here is my family, lately!
Zion National Park, November 2008
Huh?! What's that you say?!
Both Justin and I agree that these next two photos aren't the best of us, but here they are regardless!
We do like these next two ones though...it's all about the self timer!
Justin decided to do a mini photo shoot with me.
Had to show off the fab mustache!
St. George, November 2008
Las Vegas at M&M World, November 2008
Idyllwild with the Kaiser family, November 2008
Love, LOVE, LOOOOVVE the next two sets of photos of my boys!
This one makes me hunch over and laugh hysterically! Hudson, "Mom, take a photo of my scared face!"
More trees.
Disneyland, December 2008
I think I'm going to make a Vision Art Book out of all of these!

After the entry I posted last month about my dad and his ALS disease and the auction that I ran in order to raise funds to help with his medical expenses and buy a handicap friendly van I had such an amazing response. I especially had a ton of individuals who weren't able to bid on the auction, but wanted to donate funds. Many were even asking if there was a PayPal account set up where they could quickly donate and at the time we only had a bank account where funds could be deposited. Well, we quickly remedied that and now we do actually have a PayPal account where individuals can make donations. Here is the information:
For PayPal Users who want to send Money for Ken's Van via PayPal:
1. In PayPal use this e-mail address to Send money:van4ken@maxom2020.com
2. When Making Payment, select "Services/Other", then 'Continue'
3. Before "Sending" the funds, Scroll to the bottom and using the "E-Mail to Recipient"
Option, send your Full Name and Postal Address for our Records
4. ***Important***Print out Your PayPal Receipt for your Records
I leave you with some funny faces of my dad:). Thank you to all that have donated so far, every little bit helps and please know that we are forever grateful.

My wonderful husband Justin left last night to spend a week up in Utah to attend the Sundance Film Festival. He stopped by in Salt Lake City to say hello to our good wedding and portrait- photog friend Justin Hackworth. Justin H. also got a few quick shots of my man while he was there, I took these images from Justin Hackworth's blog. I love them! Thanks Justin H. for making my day!
Justin Hackworth said:
The only thing that sucked about Justin coming by today is that you weren't with him. I'm looking forward to seeing you at WPPI.

ROG said:
umm...big-A, Justin's my handsome man! If you wanna settle this like a couple of hood rats, that's fine by me. Meet me out in front of pedro's market of fine wines and spirits on your birthday and we'll see who's man he is. P.S. I'm going up to utah this week too and we're gonna spoon.

A few months ago we had the sweet opportunity to meet up with the brilliant ladies behind Junebug Weddings. This amazing one-stop wedding resource/website and blog for brides and grooms to-be was originated in Seattle and now they are venturing out to our very own California! They asked to meet us to see if we would be interested in joining their bandwagon and OF COURSE we happily accepted their invitation! Every year they do a "Best from the Best" Fashion report from weddings and we are completely flattered that they included us in the bunch! In fact, they used one of our images as the introductory. We are so happy to be a part of such a stellar group of photographers mentioned! Thank you to the Junebug ladies! You can check out their wedding fashion report by clicking here.
Congratulations to all of the other photographers featured, we feel honored are amongst such talented people!

No surprise here. The reason they were happy to invite you to be included in 'The Best of the Best' compilation is simple: YOU ARE THE BEST. Disgustingly, amazingly talented. You both rock.

I like you guys even though I'm a warlock and You are wizards. I'm not even sure what a warlock is, or does for that matter. I guess they're just insignificant...especially to a wizard (i think). See, nothing I'm saying makes sense...because I'm not insignificant, so i guess i can't be a warlock. I'm a DRAGON and you too are wizards! That's it. you are wizards at the ring shot rocktography. I like you.

mary said:
thats alot of ringos! it would be neat to put a book together after a few years. it would be something fun to have. the flying ring shot is my favorite ring shot ever. no lie. i always think about it and i probably stared at the screen for 10 minutes when i first saw it. GENIOUS! you guys are amazing.
