I am uncomfortable with death, more specifically funerals. They are far too depressing for me. I prefer weddings and family portraits. As a baby step out that mindset, I chose to do a whimsical shoot of children at a pet funeral. As we grow and mature, we realize that death is a normal part of life and pet shop rodents are easily replaced. This collection explores the high drama of the juvenile mind. The classic black is the cohesive element, but the style choices of the children are highly individualized as is appropriate for their age group. The setting is a community park and playground. Each image has been given a dark vignette to make the colors more bold and the blacks darker, which add to the theme of whimsical sadness.

Seattle Summer 2012
We just got back from Seattle, WA. Amelia did great sleeping through the MRI. Just 2 days before her 1st birthday!
We visited Curtis's missionary trainer out on Vashon Island. He took us to see the Bicycle in the Tree. A bicycle was left in a little sapling which grew around the bike.
There is a local burger shop on the island where they grind their own meat and have fresh cut fries. Can you guess what the theme of the place is?
Even the menu is zombie themed!
We couldn't leave without buying a couple zombie hunting permits.
Check out this fun little zombie themed bowling toy set.
We went for a walk around the town and found this.
And this fun bench.
I have never seen a jellyfish in the wild before,
there were lots of these little guys playing around the ferry.
Amelia is looking at our plane back to the Valley.
We were all bummed to leave the nice cool weather.
Summer is here! Well, unofficially, but in the Sonoran Desert summer comes early. Here you can see Amelia enjoying her first taste of watermelon. The older kids are excited that they only have 6 more days left of school before summer vacation. I, on the other hand, just started another course, Electronic Design. So, what do the next few months hold for me and Bright Photography? Weddings, for one thing. Why people want to get married in the heat of summer is beyond me, but someone has to be there to take photos of it, and I am the woman for the job! Three of my kids have birthdays in the summer, so I have to figure out what to do for those. Clara is going to have a simple party at the city splash-pad. It should make for some fun photos.
