Wanda01_04_05a.jpg

Wanda and I headed up a nearby canyon this afternoon for a little hiking and picture taking. This was one of Wanda's favorites. She noted that we don't have many photos of her looking straight ahead looking into the camera.

Here is my favorite from today http://www.pbase.com/image/38294986 but this one http://www.pbase.com/image/38295179 would make such a great "catalog" photo. That was what I was looking for in today's photo. It is the one I would have picked for the PAD today but I need to give into Wanda every so often.

Although you really can't tell from the photo, it was cold the day we took this shot. I was all bundled up and still freezing! I like this image though, I think it represents the "every day" Me. Nothing fancy, just a pair of jeans, a big floppy coat and a pair of boots. While I can dress up all fancy and sexy at times, I also like to just be simple and comfortable. I have never been big into what's "fashionable" , I just wear what I like to wear. There have been times when My daughter looks at Me only the way your child can and you can just tell she is thinking the "fashion police" need to be called! (laffin) Oh well, I am just plain old Me, and if the fashion conscious don't like it, they don't have to look! (grin)

Is my monitor a tad out of calibration or are there some slight blow outs in her face? (Knowing the quality of your work, I'm guessing the former.)

If I buy the coat from Wanda’s Secrets Boutique, … does a coupon come with it for a discount on the gloves? My wife Gerie wanted me to ask before I send the check.

Just gorgeous! An extremely confident looking pose.. I really like this.

Seeing more red rock make me want to go on a trip right now. So the question is you still want to hit Bryce with me on the way back from Vegas?

Great shot Bill ... I too enjoy your outdoor portraits.
Beautiful eyes Wanda. My wife and I enjoy your site very much and we both appreciate the effort you have put into this project. It has been fun watching you both grow.
Thanks for sharing and Happy Clicking,
Shaner

All of your portraits are beautiful, but the outdoor ones are just amazing to me! You always get the lighting just right!

Not to take anything away from your "glamour-type" shots, but this is simply stunning. Whoever sells big coats, faded jeans and boots in your neighbourhood is missing a helluva marketing opportunity. John
