Raspberry Picking

We have three raspberry bushes that have just started to produce a nice little crop of raspberries this year. They are the kind that last all summer long, so every few days we get a bowl full of beautiful, fresh raspberries. Yum!!
This little guy really likes his raspberries, and he likes to help me pick them...sort of.
This is what he really wants to do.

He just pops them right in his mouth. So, I tell him "Put them in the bucket!"
And he does.
And then he does this.

And after I say no to that he tries this: That's right, just stick the whole bush in your mouth.

So, I tell him no, and then...

oh boy

I love my brother :)

Bubbles

I love using bubbles during a portrait session! Portraits can be so much more dynamic and interesting with a great prop or activity. And I have my lovely models to thank again :)

My Models

So, I'm positive my photography would not be the same without my two lovely models. I have been practicing on them for years; they are the guinea pigs I use to try new techniques.
Oh where would I be without such willing subjects?
And such photogenic ones too!

I love photographing these two, they have known each other for longer than they can remember...

...and here they are now :)

My Brother the Cowboy

And here is my most photographed subject as a cowboy:
