Some Days are Diamonds . . .


Some days are diamonds in the garden. After our first blooming came and went, the second came back even better. I expect the garden to only get better as the season progresses. The weather is beautiful and our new purple chair is ready.

Kayla and Gracie




Today Kayla came in for her senior session. Congratulations Kayla! The session went quite well. We spent a couple of hours inside and outside and time just flew by.
Kayla was accompanied by Gracie (with mom, of course) and I captured a couple of images of her as well. Both subjects were quite delightful! Gracie is 21 months old and you would think she had been coming here since birth. Thanks Gracie!

Fun sessions with Sheri this week!





I have had a couple of "fun" sessions this week with some of my regulars. First of all Rosaleigh came in for her one year portrait session (part of the baby package at Fine Art Photography). At her eight month session, she brought her sister, Lilly so I've posted their black and white image as well. We have to offer equal time, you know!


Later in the week we have Katie. She has been coming to the studio regularly since birth as well. Yesterday was her five year portrait session. WOW, has she gotten tall. I'll post more beautiful images that we took, but I wanted to get these out there this morning. It was a fun day inside and outside at the studio.


Have a great day, everyone. The weather here is perfect for a session!

View My Fine Art Work at BLUE GOOSE

Have any of you been to the Blue Goose Bistro? This place has great food and the people are wonderful. It is located on Sawyer Brown road between Highway 70 and Highway 100 in Bellevue. Rhonda and Craig Sparks own it (owners of Say Cheese in the mall) and the food is wonderful! If you haven't experienced their pizza - - - you are missing out. It is literally the best ever.
I personally love the island salad (ask for Rhonda's famous dressing) and the chicken salad.
The people are very friendly and the service is very personal.
When you go, be sure to look at my work on the walls. They have been kind enough to allow me to display in their restaurant. Everything is for sale. Enjoy!

More Studio Garden Images for your enjoyment




Garden Shots




The garden here at the studio (Fine Art Photography) is the best ever! We (Sheri Reno and Tim) have worked for the past three years to get to this point. Between the deer and the drought, we have finally gotten a garden full of blooms.

We have added a second wrought iron gate and new benches. There are many different angles to shoot from and the garden only promises to blossom more with the onset of the crepe myrtle in the background when they bloom. We aren't sure yet what the cone flower will do, but they won't be missed with all the primrose and coreopsis. Come and enjoy!

You might want to try shooting a tea party in the garden this year. We do offer a variety of clothing!

This is one of the iron gates on the walkway going into the "English Garden". The image has a painterly effect. I hope you like it.

Hot Weather and Flowers


It has turned hot suddenly and some of the crepe myrtle trees are responding to the heat. The other flowers have been in full bloom and I'm in hopes they don't suffer during this extreme heat.

The garden here at Fine Art Photography is beautiful and we are adding the last few new items in the garden. We've purchased a new bench from Milo Gallery and painted a couple of benches. This garden has been three years in the making (due to deer and weather) and this year should be the best for photos so far.

Unfortunately, the cone flowers aren't responding as well as hoped, but others have taken their place in all their glory!
Sheri has placed a budding "Monet" in her garden.
Enjoy!
