Run Gus Run

I love when I plop down to snap some shots from his perspective, this little boy runs straight for me with a huge grin on his face.

Hay Bale Jumping...

It's a must when we visit my hometown.

Plus it makes for some pretty neat pictures.

Let's Go Fly a Kite

Just a boy and his kite and an endless blue sky...

Until...

Just a boy and his car and the open road...

 And a dad and his kite and an endless blue sky...

Two Boys and a Gator

I find these pictures hilariously cute. 

If it had been up to August, I think he would've driven cousin Hunter to Canada. Thankfully, the battery gave out long before they reached the border.

Evening on the farm...

A farmer's work is never done. Every evening, before the sun goes down, the farmer must make the rounds to inspect the farm. He starts with a long walk past the fields towards the barn. The farmer brings a few good farm hands to help carry the load.

Then he sets off to start his inspection.

First, the farmer examines the soil.

Then, he runs around the barn, making sure the equipment is put away.

 He follows more seasoned footsteps, watching and learning... 

Until he knows every step.

Then he takes the lead, inspecting the fields.

At the end of the day, the farmer is tired.
 A farmer's work is hard,
but he has a few good farm hands to help carry the load.

As the sun sets, all is quiet on the farm.

Good night, little farmer.

Oink, Moo, Neigh, Baa

The farm has come to my studio! 

These little guys are my latest works. They were super fun to make. I experimented with the backgrounds a bit, and I love the result. To me they are reminiscent of old crazy quilts which fits so well with the farm theme. They will be available for purchase as soon as their done with their photo shoot for Gallery Direct.

A Boy and his Car

August received a cozy coup for Christmas. 

It was love at first sight.

 Every minute we spent outside, he spent it with his car.

Opening the door.

Closing the door.

Crawling in.

Crawling out.

 There was no separating the two. To speak of one, you had to mention the other.

 Boy + Car

 Car + Boy

He loved that car.

They would be together indefinitely.

 That is, until he drove this car...
