Spring photoshoot: Wild flowers
We try to take walks everday when we can for the sake of our health… and to keep the relationship gut at bay.

Initial review of the Apple iPadOur Grand Canyon portrait adventure
It was definitely an adventure taking these portrait shots at the Grand Canyon. In between freezing our butts off, almost getting kicked out of the park, waiting for elk to cross our path and watching out for giant grizzly bears (Kay’s biggest fear =/)…. we managed to set up our ultra portable gear and grab [...]
