Amy Wenzel Photography

Well, the car is all packed up to go camping for the weekend. We leave tomorrow when David gets home from work.  The only thing left is for me to finish up MY work before we go.  I REALLY didn’t want to be working tonight, so I had to bribe myself.  I broke into the camping junkfood stash and I am now happily eating Nerds, Prinlgles and trail mix.  I think it may just satisfy me enough to get me through this final push.

On a side note, I got my hair cut today….for the first time since March!   I felt totally unkept having gone so long without getting it shaped or anything.  I think I just never noticed because I put it in a pony tail almost every day.  Anyway,  I’m really excited about how she cut it- it kind of angles down toward the front.  I’ll have to post a picture on here. I haven’t done any self-portraits in ages!  For my college photography classes I was always doing self-portraits. 

One more thing before I move on to the picture sharing. I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who reads this blog and for all the awesome comments you guys leave for me.  It’s so encouraging to hear positive feedback on my work and to know that people have fun reading.  Okay, now for some pictures-  I really had a great time working with this family.  It was one of those things where the kids were so goofy and funny that I really didn’t have to do much at all besides position them where the light was good and then snap away.  I especially got a kick out of all the interaction with the dog.  This was one of those dogs that is so sweet and compliant that I kept hallucinating a halo on its head.  Another dog I would gladly kidnap and take home with me.  It was fun seeing how much the kids love the dog too.  It is such a neat bond between child and pet.  I remember loving my dog that much.
