I'm not kidding!!!

Oh long weekends just go by way to quick! Today the family managed to make a trip out to the lake for a BBQ with the parents. Instead of prepping the boat for summer my mother had another idea..... After lunch she announced to us that we were going to go see "The Goats". I no longer question my mother's announcements- last year she took us to visit with a fawn, I just grabbed my camera and jumped into the van with my nieces and son. "She has some really cute kids "was all we were told. That was a bit of an understatement! I've never seen so many small /newborn goats/kids in my life!!!

Black and white, brown and white, shades of brown, curly, blue eyed, 2 day olds, one week olds etc.!!!!I could have photographed for days! Here are some of the more curious ones I was able to photograph as I gingerly walked around the pen, the, ummm, mess and the little one's mothers!

This is Bandit, You had to get through him to get at the goats..... (I don't think his eyes ever left me or the camera...)

peek-a-boo!


just newly arrived!
This one could lift his ears!

Scientific Marvel School of Hairstyling

It is nearing the end of the school year for a lot of individuals and different technical schools. For some that means working on their portfolio. (I know what that was all about!) I had a cool opportunity on Friday to go along with Paolo and Katy from PrairieView School of Photography to help with a Fashion shoot for the Scientific-Marvel Hairstyling School, creating images for the student's portfolios.

The Students worked in groups to re-create a hairstyle in a magazine and re-create that look right down to what the model was wearing in the image. My job as a photographer-To come into an 8x15 sized lunch room, set-up 2 sets, recreate the model's "look" from the chosen image, recreate the light...etc. Essentially make my photograph look like the image the Students were trying to re-create. What a challenge!

Katy and I had a great time working through the group's models. Although I probably should apologize to Katy, as I'm sure with the tight quarters, I may have been in some of her images-As I photographed mine!

I must say I was quite surprised how well the groups recreated the hairstyles, looks and make-up of the models. Way to go teams and "Hats off "to the "Models" who were also students! Good Luck with Graduation and your future endeavors!
