Landon and Mindy

Mindy brought Landon over for some pictures last week. Belated Easter pictures as he’s at that in-between age of 18 months. He was great and I really liked getting Mindy in some photos too. I don’t know why so many parents shy away from being photographed with their children as I think these are the best, most special pictures!

Mindy sent me a little note that I thought I’d share with you:

“I just wanted to say again… Thank you soooo much for taking such BEAUTIFUL pictures of me & Landon. I can’t stop looking at them and my only regret is that I didn’t come and have you do them sooner. You’ve made it extremely difficult 4 me to decide what I want! And it’s not just because Landon is so adoreable either… I’ve never been so “in love” with pictures of him. So, here’s me sendin’ you a big pat on the back! You’re awesome!” – Mindy

something wicked this way come (or came anyway)

A tale of gardening, or well, more like horror I guess. I’ve not had a garden for a couple of years but got motivated to do one this year. Usually I have a small war with the local rabbits, and yeah, they lose. About sunset they’ll come out munching around the back yard, so I get out my trusty .22 rifle and rain death down upon the furry creatures of the earth. Being about dark I’ll wait until morning to pick up the carcass, but I do make sure they’re dead and not suffering. I’ve not gone after the critters this year as the seeds have just sprouted (ok, so I was late getting my garden in)

Well, that doesn’t always work. See, something will come by in the middle of the night and drag off the body. Not eat it there, but remove it completely. I assume a cat, but I don’t know. I don’t think I want to know. I just don’t think sleeping in my back yard would be a good idea. But then, I’m still alive so perhaps I’d be safe.

Or so I thought until tonight that is. I go out to water the garden about 7 and I found a dead rabbit. Well, the back half of a dead rabbit that is. Something killed it and made off with the head and front legs, and gutted it too. And there was no blood – not sure if I’d see any blood with it laying on pretty fresh garden dirt.

So I don’t know what’s lurking in my backyard, but it’s getting meaner, hungrier and closer to the house!

Is Dad a Muscle car man?

(A guest entry from Mindy)

Are you looking for a killer Fathers Day gift that’s got some EDGE? Something with an everlasting WOW factor? Well, we at Christopher Perry Photography have the perfect idea!

This year honor dad with a customized professional photo shoot. Starring his most prized possession, his “baby”, his pride & joy! And maybe a special guest or two. (you know, like his Dad, Mom, or even the kids…)

What an awesome way for Dad to showcase his Fierce Hot-Rod to the world! And remember, this isn’t limited to Hot-Rods… Maybe Dad has a tricked out Motorcycle or Quad he’d like to show off. Or you could integrate a favorite hobby… (such as golf, airplanes, tractors, hunting)

And let’s not forget that some of the most thoughtful gifts you can get for Dad are pictures of his adorable children! The possibilities are absolutely endless & totally up to you!

Just check out our Fathers Day Specials and give us a call.

And don’t forget…

Gift Certificates are perfect for stuffing those Fathers Day Cards!
