can you smell it?  I must say that after having such a snowy winter, I have had cabin fever!  It seems that most of the sessions I have done have been inside (which is fine), but their is nothing like the natural beauty of the outdoors.  I know it seems I have been MIA on the blog the past few weeks…..just so many exciting things happening and not enough time in the day!  A quick update on everything our way….Chris has been working on finishing our basement along with working on the pasture and fencing in more area for our new cows and donkey!  Those are some huge tasks that I try to help out with as much as I can!  I, on the other hand, only have 3 months left of the pregnancy and have enjoyed every minute of it (well, maybe not the whole gaining weight part….but I have had no cravings, have not been sick, and just a little tired….but nothing to complain about)!  Our little girl’s name will be Abby and we are soooo excited to meet her!  I have had a couple people ask if I will still be doing sessions in May (Due the beginning of June) and July and the answer is YES, YES, YES!!  :)  However, I am not taking any weddings in May or June. 

Somethings to look forward to in the next couple of weeks is a daily blog post for a week on both Weddings and on Newborn sessions! It is soooo important to be educated as a client!!  

As for now, I will leave you with an image that spells out SPRING to me…and makes me think of Easter (which is like a month away)!  Who needs to dye eggs when they are so beautiful and farm fresh!

Autumn Olive Photography now can help you with designing photos and frames on your wall with our new design program! I have got to admit, I partially got this program for myself. You see, I have yet to put ONE HOLE ON A WALL in my house! I know, it is sad!  Part of it is just not knowing how I should design my frames on the wall.  I really just want to “see it” before I “do it”. Ask for more details. Here are some examples of what can be done:

2 Horizontal 8×10 images, 2 vertical 8×10 images, 2 vertical 11×14 images. Minimum wall space needed is 55 inches by 50 inches.

2 vertical 8×10 images and 2 vertical 5×7 images. Minimum wall space needed is 48 inches by 15 inches

This wall includes 2 vertical 16×20 images, 2 vertical 8×10 images, 2 horizontal 5×7 images. A minimum wall space of 40 inches by 30 inches is needed.

The whole time that Chris and I were in Washington, we had a plan. We wanted to capture a part of the country we had never seen before with our cameras. Chris and I took the back roads to get where we wanted to visit. We wanted to see the countryside. We wanted to see the cows and tractors in the fields, and the orchards up close. We wanted to see the windmills and the barns. It is a part of our new project! To decorate the walls in our house. Yes, it is embarrassing to say that since we have built our house (some 1.5 years ago), we have yet to put ONE hole in our wall! I guess the main reason is because I have felt that nothing is “worthy” of being on our walls. It has to be special…have meaning….I guess I am kind of quirky like that (if quirky is a real word). So, we have decide to take scenery images that have meaning to us and get canvases made.

When I see this image I think about an EARLY morning driving to Leavenworth. We just stopped along side a road to see some big animals (for the life of me I cannot think what Chris called them). We were turning around the car and saw the barn. Chris stopped in the middle of the road and I snapped away. That is the memory I have with this image.
