Working on albums…

Posted in Albums

I love this part of our business. While the guys are editing all the gazillion images we take away from our weddings I love when the lists of favorites come in so I can start designing the albums. While the guys get to make the images all dreamy and lovely… I love putting them...

It’s so nice to get out and do something fun!

Posted in Personal

With having to be trapped inside for so long with all the smoke and heat these last few weeks we got such cabin fever! We decided to take today off. Because we work out of our house it is hard to seperate work from home life. There are times Mark and Brian work both...

hmmm for a solo activity, driving is what i like =) non-solo stuff, just meeting up with friends, and meeting new people, always a good time

kafekotka - July 14, 2008 - 5:09 AM

Hi! Looks like you had a good diversion!!! We go bowling about once a year if we need to or not…we go see a movie..yesterday we finally got to see Prince Caspian…we go for a walk up a mountain… we go out for a coffee… our son plays soccer or tennis with friends….

Borelfoto - July 14, 2008 - 8:47 AM

I havent bowled in over 20 years too. the last time I was 32 years old and had a 200 game, not bad for an old guy, before that when I was around 13 years old I was on a bowling team and my average was around 245 a game. I should get back into it, I always had a blast tossing that 14lber down the lanes.

:giggle:My favorite sport these days is also Buca!! :laugh:

Randall

lydellphoto - July 14, 2008 - 1:17 PM

@Borelfoto -

Lol that was a good one Randy…

@kafekotka -

We used to take mountain walks when I was little. Today we like to see a movie, play board games, have friends over for BBQ, and I love to putter in my deck and garden.

@dimsom -

I love getting out and driving. I would rather drive than fly somewhere! LOL…and I have done that! With the gas prices as they are unless it is an essential errand we have cut it out…sigh

joyfulphotography - July 15, 2008 - 11:55 AM

I am glad the smoke cleared. It was kind of weird. Glad you had fun bowling!

portiajules - July 15, 2008 - 12:10 PM

I still haven’t weighed in..BAD>> I feel so bad about myself and my weight issues…:( I don’t bowl because I don’t want to break a nail..LOL…looks like you guys had so much fun!! Miss you!!

lydellphoto - July 15, 2008 - 12:29 PM

@portiajules - aww we miss you too! Dont feel bad …that is guilt and guilt makes you eat more. I am preaching to myself this morning too!! I didnt make it into WW yesterday realized today that I am letting guilt rule my world. I am not going to let it because I was on a roll and I need to keep going forward not backward!!! Forgive myself and move on!!! Plus the gym needs to be in the equation. I keep putting that off too. I keep finding excuses to not go. Like yesterday I worked on an album all day.Went to bed at 11 pm with sore eyes which have.been bothering me since all the smoke it did something to my eyes. I am going to have to go get them checked out. Ugh one more thing on my list!

@joyfulphotography - Thanks!!! And yes it was weird! Did you get any of it up there? Yes, we need to get out more and I am thining we need to do it on a weekly basis! For some sanity…:sunny:

kennyahn - July 15, 2008 - 3:56 PM

man, one of these days I’m gonna go up there and go bowling with y’all. We just went to Buca di Beppo a couple of nights ago too. It sure was relaxing to put on about 3lbs of complex carbs…. :coolman:

portiajules - July 15, 2008 - 7:53 PM

I have been a slug with working out the last two days..I had been doing GREAT rollerblading every day and doing yoga..but it is now in the mid 90s with high humidity..and i JUST DON”T WANT TO DO IT!! DARN!!!

lydellphoto - July 16, 2008 - 12:05 PM

@kennyahn - Ahhh Kenny I love your sense of humor! Are you a good bowler? That would be awesome to go bowling with you! I think its time for a Southern Ca. get together up here! We are hoping to continue an annual Tahoe Shoot Out with Nancy and George (Mommyfish) in the fall. We did our first one last year and had such a blast! We got a timeshare and spent the weekend cooking, eating, shooting and talking…essentially relaxxing! So come on up!!! Bring your camera cuz we do fun things that George sets up…like take 15 shots in 15 min. It was a good way to learn how to measure your shots and what you shoot and to make the best of each one. Then we all came together and looked at all the shots and tried to guess who shot which shots. It was a fun exercise!!! We are gonna do more fun things like that!

If anyone else is interested in meeting up for this we would have to make sure to get a head start on getting rooms! So speak now if this is something you want to do!

Kerri

lydellphoto - July 16, 2008 - 12:08 PM

@portiajules - I finally made it to the gym!!! Did 30 min cardio and 30 min on the circuit! Yay!!!!!!!!!! I got my juicer out and started that up again so this is finally coming back together for me! I dont know how I got sidelined but I sure did! I know you can do whatever you put your mind to, Charlotte! Go for it!

Looks like we’re catchin’ a break!

Posted in Personal

So the temps this week have just been horrible, and the air quality the same. Here are a couple pics I took yesterday when we looked outside and saw what the sun looked like. The visibility was down in some areas to less than 1/4 of a mile. Today we woke up to clearer skies...

Aside from the circumstances…cool pics! Seriously, that is some smokey sky…ewww.

We had heavy fog today…misting in fact, which is good for the Big Sur fire fighting situation. Usually when it’s foggy here, it’s really hot inland…glad to hear it’s cooler for ya.

saphoto - July 12, 2008 - 11:19 AM

i know its kinda freaky looking somedays like a feeling the world is coming to an end. or is it? haha nice photos. yah this air is not very good for your heath and respartory systems. anyways, stay warm!

portiajules - July 13, 2008 - 10:50 AM

I heard the temps were down yesterday..thank goodness..beautiful photos..I miss you!!

Borelfoto - July 13, 2008 - 1:38 PM

caugh…caugh…ugh..:lol:

lydellphoto - July 13, 2008 - 7:31 PM

@portiajules - Yes! It has been so much cooler and I am a happy camper! Even the skies are clearing….yippee!!

@saphoto - Hey Stephen! SO much better out there huh!? Even able to cut back on all the AC we have had to use!!!

@mommyfish - Yes it is cooler and cleaner….Thank God!! That was one heck of a few weeks!! I know it is still a battle north of us and for the firefighters.

backlightphoto - July 15, 2008 - 12:30 AM

The one good thing about fires (if there could be one….)…you get great sunsets.

lydellphoto - July 15, 2008 - 12:32 PM

@backlightphoto - You are soooo right! But it does look eerie! Some even remarked how it looked so BIBLICAL! Like the end of days…

christineguthrie - July 29, 2008 - 12:08 AM

Hi Kerri,

Hey, that was so nice of you to say hello. I’m so sorry I’ve fallen behind again and now I’m trying to catch up again, but I’ve been down with a really sore throat for the last couple of weeks, but I’m back on deck again now. Wow, you must all be just about choking with all that smoke. I love these images, and I really like the last one, it’s really beautiful, almost abstract. I know it must be so hot where you are, but would you believe that it was two degrees this morning here in Toowoomba, yesterday, the temperature hovered around five degrees all day, and over the last few days, we have had sleet and snow in some parts and that was a bit of a shock after last year’s relatively mild winter. I shoot on location, and the last few weeks have been freezing with heavy rain so haven’t had a chance to do a lot of photo shoots, we need the water though, so this rain is really welcome, and at last it’s starting to fill the dams. Have a great week.

Christine

lydellphoto - July 29, 2008 - 12:57 PM

@christineguthrie - Hi! :sunny:

Oh wow I am sorry I hate hate hate sore throats I would rather have a cold than one of those. I had strep throat alot as a kid and I suffered! You are in your winter now? That sounds really cold! We never get that low here. We have been in the twenties. I grew up in the SF Bay Area and never needed a winter coat till we moved up here to the Sacramento Valley. It never gets that cold or that hot there. If it gets hot the evening fog usually cools everything down. Up here we rarely get fog and what we do get in the evenings to cool off our triple summer digits is a delta breeze that comes up from the SF Bay. Sacramento has some of the nicest summer evenings ever.

SO good to hear from you and dont worry. I know how it is when you just dont have the time to blog! I sometimes wish I could just chuck it but know how important it is for business and for our brides and their families. I really enjoyed blogging when I kept up my passiondove site. Every once in a while I go over there and sigh…haha.

Have a great week and keep warm!

Kerri
