I think a Giraffe is an absolute wonder.  A majestic and beautiful creature.

And Elephants too…

I hope you all have a safe and spook-tacular halloween everyone!

Folks… 6 years of trying and several miscarriages later, this absolutely amazing and deserving couple FINALLY have their miracle baby.

K-Seriously, what can be more fun than a senior session with a gorgeous girl?  I had a blast on this shoot and I totally dig this girl.

At the end of February, 2010, we took a trip up to Moab, Utah to visit Tom Tom’s VW shop.  VW enthusiasts state wide (and even out of state too) have spent years trying to get the owner to sell some of his treasures, however, he would not budge.  It was rare that he would even allow anyone into the yard, let alone sell something.  You see, Mr. Tom Tom (I can’t remember his last name) was a VW hoarder and he coveted every car on his lot.  He spent approx. 30 years (according to his son) collecting everything VW and putting it right into his yard.  Well, Mr. Tom died recently and his son has been trying sort through it all and sell (finally) most of everything.  A buddy of ours wanted to purchase a nice bug to fix up and use as a daily commuter and since we have a vehicle trailer, we took the trip up to help him bring it back.  And, of course, we wanted to scope the yard for any parts we might need ourselves.

What I saw was unbelievable!  Cars were literally packed in like sardines.  They had been there so long that trees had grown up through many of the bumpers of cars and even inside in a couple and the earth had swallowed up the cars by several inches.  If you wanted to see a car in the back of the yard, you actually had to walk on top of the cars to get there, because there was absolutely NO space between most cars.  Then, there were the piles and piles of car parts.  Even the insides of cars were filled to the roofs with parts.  To top it all off, the inside of the shop was full with hundreds of engines and of engine parts.  We were there for several hours and didn’t even look at a fraction of what was there.

If anyone is interested in a definite fixer upper, vintage VW, let me know, and I’ll get you in contact with the owner.
