60 years!

We met a great couple this morning - Harold and Pat will be married for 60 years tomorrow, and they're commemorating this milestone with portraiture for their home! They eloped to Las Vegas in 1947 (when there wasn't much there) and got married by a judge, and they've lived in the same home for 55 years!

One of the jobs of a professional photographer is to make everyday scenes look interesting. During Alyssa's senior portrait session yesterday we stopped by the McKinley Park Center. I like to think that this treatment makes an old school that was built in 1911 look like a medieval fortress!

Happy Halloween!

The fall color pallette that the city of Reno has provided this year has been spectacular. Some of it is as good as you get in New England - and I've compared! Here is a sampling of the kinds of images we've been creating over the past few days...

The amber of Autumn

I created this last week on our annual pilgrimmage to the fall colors of the Eastern Sierra.

Summer Days...

... are leaving us behind, but we're trying to extend them as much as possible! Here's a super-cool image we created yesterday afternoon with the Lawson family at their home. I was going for a Norman Rockwell type of feel. We even got the family dog and cat in there! Wish I could display it larger for you here on Blogger!
