Its been a while since we have posted because we have been busy little beavers over here. Here is a list of what we are working on. We have been working on a secret project these last few weeks - a new website! Hopefully we will unveil it by the end of the week. Can’t wait till...

Randy (The Magician)
Wow. These photos are great. The detail of the dress is beautiful. What a fun wedding to shoot!! I can’t wait for your website. Good luck!!! And congratulations on the graduations! Hopefully you will post pictures. My daughter will be returning home in about 2 weeks after her first year in college! I just got used to empty nest… but I can’t wait to have her back. …looking forward to Friday!
HOW BEAUTIFUL, ((KERRI))!!! THAT LAST PIC LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING FROM A MOVIE!! I LOVE IT!
CHERYL
Great shots as usual. I really can’t pick one that I like more than the other. The effects on the group shot is nice.
CONTEST CLOSES SOON - THIS PICTURE NEEDS A TITLE!! There are already some great titles entered. Post yours!! 0 votes Kerri took this picture while we were in Las Vegas at the WPPI convention. This little scraggly tree was being helped out by the shadow of the palm tree behind it. It made us laugh...

hang on…let me put my camera down…and double-check: nope not pregnant. Okay, let’s see….how about
“When Trees Dream”
LOL…great shot.
The best my brain can come up with in a short amount of time is “Wishful Thinking”. Enjoy exploring!
:rolleyes:I see the two of your are “Branching out” LOL! My title is “When I grow Up” Oh and did I mention that the two of you look marvolous today and Kerri that parfume you have on smells wonderful. Mark are you getting taller?
Roseville is not the same without LYDELL PHOTOGRAPHY, hurry back soon!
Randy (lost 10 lbs so far) you cant tell yet, but Im working on loosing another 90!
Thats a great pic. I liked the ‘when trees dream’ and ‘wishful thinking,’ others suggested.
Let me put on my “creative (insert french word here) cap”
“Waiting And Wishing On Spring”
I dig the shot.
+Taylor+
O how awesome! something that you dont come across too often! =) Greater Potential!
I LOVE IT, ((KERRI))!!! ONE THOUGHT IS “THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM.” OH SORRY, I JUST SAW WHERE SOMEONE PUT A THOUGHT JUST LIKE THAT, LOL!
ALSO, I COULDN’T HELP BUT THINK ABOUT JONAH AND THE WHALE, HOW GOD GAVE JONAH THE LITTLE VINE/GOURD TO SHIELD HIM FROM THE SUN. THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT, LOL!!
HOW ABOUT “CREATED IN HIS IMAGE”! JUST A SHOT, GIRLFRIEND, LOL!!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
LOVE, CHERYL
I have to put this one out there because this is what came to my mind…:He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty”.
OOH I think Angel45 should win this one, that is the best, much better than mine!
WELCOME HOME KERRY AND MARK!!!:sunny::wave:
We can’t wait to see what your creative minds come up with!!
Are you sure? That could be rather scary…..:giggle:
Jessica and I can’t wait to see you guys again
I hope it’s before next Wppi.
it was a blessing to meet you
please make sure we keep in touch
call anytime
sf
The first thing that came to my mind was the movie, Dances with Wolves with the brave warrioress “standing tall with fists” but this pic would be “standing tall with palms”.
WOW ~ all of these are fantastic titles! My favorite is “Greater in the Light of God”. My contribution is “Dream Big”. We always do!
“IN GOD’S EYES”
That of course fits, because in God’s eyes EVERYTHING is incredibly beautiful!!
So glad you all are back……….Loves to you all!!
Kimi
My co-worker says “I think I can, I think I can.” or”the little tree that could”
I’m lost for a title right now but in story telling a shadow is a metaphor hinting at what is to come or a promise of what to expect in the future.
I thought of 2Cor. 4:16
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.”
Of course it could be I thought of that just because I am “middle-aged”! LOL
Yeah that is a great pic… how ’bout this…
“I Think I Can, I Think I Can”
Peace,
- Joshua
I’m not suggesting a title because I think mommyfish’s “When Trees Dream” is better than anything I can think of!
By the way, I don’t remember if I commented on this photo the first time I saw it (but I don’t want to scroll through all the comments), so I just wanted to say what a fantastic capture this is! It’s so poetic and deep in meaning.
Thought of a couple more…
What Lies Beneath
Eye of the Beholder
my favorites…
“Wishful Thinking”
irisinbloom
“When I Grow Up”
borelfoto
“Things Are Not Always As They Appear”
bumblypick
“Created in His Image”
MuchPeaceToYou
“In God’s Eyes”
TheLittleGirlInMe
Yeah, guess I skipped over that one… how ’bout this…
“Aspirations of The Third Kind”
Peace,
- Joshua
ps: thank you, that pic was taken overlooking SF at night, I don’t remember what exactly I did to wash the colors like that, but I used a trial of jasc 8.0
Here it is are you ready………..”I think I can , I think I can”
Hi love your work. Here’s a thought for the comp.
‘Living in the shadow of the light I never saw’
“In His shadow”
“Glory within”
“Strenghth within”
“Potential”
Hello, and I’m back. 
:rolleyes: I love all the names given here. This is going to be a tough one!
“A Shadow of Things to Come . . .”
(Col. 2:16-17 was my inspiration)
Have a great weekend! :love: Carolyn 
That is a great photo. You got some great title suggestions. You won’t have an easy time picking a winner!
Gosh this is going to be HARD!!! We may have to call in reinforcements!
Thank you all for the responses they are so good!!!
K
Forgot I wanted to add that is is the scripture I got that from:
Col 1:27……27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. NIV
lol…i’m thinking of a certain budweiser commercial…so funny. hmmmm…this is not too creative, but what about “the tree that could”
I thought of another one. Can we enter more than once? If so, how about “I am Weak…but He is Strong”

That was a wonderful shoot and your poses turned out great! Love that you used the black background too.
Your clients and your future clients are really blessed to have you guys all photograph them.
Randy
:wave: Sorry I’ve been away for so long! :shysmile: Goodness! :heartbeat:How’s grandparenting going?:heartbeat: Guess I’ll need to go back and check for pix! :yes:I’m taking a quickie break, but need to finish up my lesson plans & making up a test. :whocares:
I love this slide show that you put together, and love the quote by S. Loren! She is one special, and beautiful woman! :yes: But then so are you! :goodjob: {{hugs}}:love: Carolyn
What a FUN shoot! Life is about family… God bless yours! Love, Gerrie
oh wow, this is absolutely beautiful and heartwarming! You should make this one of your packages cuz this is a family treasure for sure.
:sunny: These pictures are great! I know the family loved them Blessings.
Love the pics. Not too often you get that many generations together. There were 5 generations living of our family last year before my great granny died. We never got a pic though. I wish that we had dome something, but my great granny lived in KC and my granny lives in North Carolina, so being able to get everyone together would have been hard since neither of them could travel. Anyway, I hope you all have a great week. Loves to ya…….Kimi
Szetones:
Thanks!
For lighting I had two Canon 580′s off camera with the Canon ST-E2 transmitter on camera to control them. The main flash was off to the left of the subject. This flash shot straight up onto a gold reflector which was aimed down on their heads & faces. The second flash was to their right with a Fong Lightsphere and was about eye level.
Mark
Very nice photos! Very heartwarming. All the moms, grammas and great grandmas look so young! The lighting is great and I appreciate you sharing your set-up. Very clever. Let me know when you are coming up! Hopefully I can come in to town to meet you. Coffee and photos, excellent.
WOW, HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE AND YOUNG LOOKING, EVEN THE GRANDMOTHER, WOW!!! I LOVE IT!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
SO SORRY, GIRL, BUT WHEN I CHANGED SITES, I SOMEHOW LOST SOME OF MY NAMES TO SUBSCRIBE. GLAD YOU FOUND ME THOUGH!!!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY IN THE LORD, ((KERRI))!
LOVE, CHERYL
Wow, that’s neat. I never thought about having a photo session for four or five generations.
Very nice… I’m back in Xanga-land, I haven’t written anything worth mentioning since I was on myspace, so I’m dropping that like a bad habit… thank you both for having me over last Saturday, it had been too long, Peace.
- Joshua
Kerri, thanks for stopping by and leaving your nice comments. These are so wonderful!! I’ll have to show my wife later these amazing photos – I know she will enjoy them.
Lovely photos and I read how you photographed them getting creative with your 580′s. Great job!!!! They must love them!
How nice to see all 4 generation girls together for pictures. They are so fortunate to have you as their photographer!!! Great job again Mark & Kerri! ~ Dawn
http://www.lydellphoto.com/slideshows/ronanengage/ Meet Chris & Melissa They were the ones who took us out for a long great day in the country! They describe themselves as “nature-nerds” but even though they love the country there is nothing nerdy about them! They are so cute together and their dogs, “Tilley” the Boston Terrier and “Bailey” the Lab were...

RYC Kerri, I have been busy with seniors and gearing up for my May weddings. I feel like I haven’t talk to you forever. How are you?
Thanks guys!!! we really love the location and of course the weather, clouds and participants all worked together to make us look good!

Oh well, I’m sure the pics are wonderful.
Love the superman photo…great stuff!
:goodjob: Mark and Kerri,

With this show you guys just graduated from Photographers to Artists.
All of these are so creative, from the angels to the colors and music you selected….beautiful!
Randy
I like the superman shirt. I have one myself and my wife yells at me when I where it out on a date. LOL
Contented sigh….truely your best video. Wonderful story telling. :heartbeat:
Plus my favorite country…the rolling grass hills of California and live oak trees
i really enjoyed all the wonderful expressions of the couple and how you captured them. great setting. looking forward to seeing wedding pics…and “superman” is a cool photo!
Oh my… this is sooooo beautiful. I love California oaks and the rolling greens hills. What a gorgeous setting for and engagement session. I was going to list my favorites but there are too many. But I did really like the one with them under the lone oak and the last one too. Wow good work. You came home from WPPI with new tricks in your bag! The superman shot is excellent!!!!!!!!!!
you all just get better and better at this…………….its better than going to rent movies……..I just come here and get to see the best “chick flicks” EVER!!! I absolutely LOVE the pic of them shot through the fence post in red hues………that is such an awesome pic. Do you all sell any of your pics? I would be interested in having a photo taken by you all hanging in our home. If you all do that, let me know.
Love you ALL!!! Kimi
they arent allowed to know my real identity. 
I like the pictures….especially the puppies :goodjob:
let’s definitely get together. we should all get together for dinner. hurry up and make a visit to socal!
you’re so right ryc on my post. the sad part is… people don’t realize it…
What’s your secret? All the couples you shoot are so into your sessions..are you telling jokes or something while shooting?
I love those shots in the field. What a great location!
I really enjoy looking at your engagement shoots. They’re fantastic.
I did an engagement shoot myself, today. I think I may have had the most anti-photo guy in the state! It was tough, but he lightened up in the end.
Thanks for your comments on my blog~ Always love your photos here!! Charlotte
Wow… what a great engagement shoot!!! Love all the images. The wheat field was a perfect location!!! I love Mark’s shirt! That’s a great bio pic for him! It would be funny to see that same S on the dog somehow when he’s jumping across the water! Super Dog! I love watching your photography get better and better!!!! :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: ~ Dawn
wow! great pictures! i have been talking to some other brides and some have shared their engagement pics……just makes me appreciate you guys all the more! those puppies are sooooo cute!
Yesterday we had a great engagement shoot with Chris & Melissa who are getting married in June at David Girard Winery. They took us four-wheeling and all over the place – Normally we are the ones who wear out our brides, but they wore us out! Today I’m editing down the pics and working towards...

How absolutely fitting for you to wear a Superman shirt, Mark, riding on TOP of a car! And the shot Kerri got is amazing, with the blue sky behind you:) God bless you and your business:) Gerrie
Oh wow, i really like the preperation. a whole bunch of pictures in one.
Darn! Knew I was missing something on my shirt. And yes that movie ended weird for me too. I was thinking “sooo does she live??? What happens??”
+Taylor+
Awesome, I love it!
Truth, justice and the photographic way!
Hey Superman!!! I love that shot!!! ~ Dawn :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat:
