Michelle & John’s Wedding

Gnomie was free to visit his home country during a whirlwind table tour:

He also felt compelled to pose with a questionable avocado postcard:

But he felt most at home in the woodland shurbbery:

That’s right I said shrubbery.

Becky’s Bridals

Becky’s bridals were a 5 person effort. We had a hair stylist, makeup artist, a gnome and 2 photographers on hand. And then we frolicked and pranced. Ok, I pranced and everyone laughed. They just don’t get it; it makes the pictures pretty.

And, yes Gnomie got into trouble. Bad Gnomie. No cookie. He should be out in a few years provided he is on his best behavior.

The scavenger hunt and the new Gnomie

I have never claimed exceptional point and shoot camera powers. So when I found myself running around North Park mall with a rubber ducky wearing a sheep costume, a list, and my point & shoot camera you better believe there was trouble. And, no, I didn’t randomly decide to invade the mall with a camera and ducky. This was all Joana’s idea to celebrate another year of me terrorizing Dallas. My birthday. I’m old.


Which brings me to the Gnomie story. After Mikalah’s engagement pictures a week ago, Gnomie decided to wave goodbye to the couple. His waving got out of control (clearly he had been take a swig of whisky when no one was looking) and he fell out of my photography bag and broke his grass.

So please welcome my new knife-carrying Gnomie from the streets of Pasadena. Watch out, he means business.

Brenda & Donnie’s Wedding

How cute is that? But the rain didn’t deter them- Brenda and Donnie went right ahead like troopers! Rain makes for some super cute pictures, and it doesn’t hurt when dad is ready to hold the umbrella during the ceremony!

And a little love for the wet gnome:

Mikalah & Jared’s Engagement Pictures

I always worry about meeting a couple the first time the day of pictures. Will they like me? Will they like Gnomie? Will they let me take a picture of them in front of two very strange longhorn heads?
