After visiting Greece during a time when Idaho was starting to get cold, I realized that I really love the coast. Here is a photo that my husband took (via iPhone) of me while in Greece. We were actually using their wireless internet to feed our internet addiction. It is currently my Facebook profile photo. I love it because it really captures Greece on a personal level.

I keep promising, but I have wedding and honeymoon pictures on their way. I’ve been swamped the family photos this month so those have been pushed aside.

I feel like most photographers have a good eye for awesome props.
The moment I stepped into a my secret client’s house, I knew that I wanted to use this chair for her photos. She actually has two of them! They’re very vintage-looking and they’re original. None of this new and fake stuff. Here’s a photo I took while my client was changing her shoes. I think I’m going to print this and hang it in the living room. What do you think??
Now I’m in the market to find something this awesome.

This is a flea.

We found these on our dogs. We have no idea how they got them, but it’s gross. We just noticed them itching on Sunday and didn’t think about checking them until Tuesday night. I’ve never had a dog with fleas so I had no idea.
So yesterday we flea bombed our house (twice), flea powdered the carpet, flea washed the dogs as well as flea dripped the dogs.
This crap better not come back.
Do you have any flea experiences? Tell me about them so I don’t feel so gross.

Okay I keep saying that but lots of things have been becoming official lately. This time I’ve officially changed my last name. Before, it was Tamara LeeAnne Kenyon.
To be quite honest, I had a very hard time imagining the thought of changing my last name. Some brides might find that strange, but I’ve become quite attached to my last name. I also consider myself an independent woman and have wondered why I need to change it at all.
I couldn’t change my last name until after the honeymoon because my passport and all of the flight information was under my maiden name. That made me very excited because it meant that I could keep my last name just THAT much longer.
I had also gone through many scenarios…. Tamara LeeAnne Kenyon-Messinger? Tamara Kenyon Messinger, Tamara LeeAnne Messinger? I couldn’t quite decide which would work. And for business sake I had already established a brand as being Tamara Kenyon Photography. Through all the figuring out and after two months I finally did it. The name is Tamara Kenyon Messinger.
I decided that since my middle name was on my birth certificate that it would always be my middle name. For legal documents I hardly used my middle name anyway. All my credit cards were just first and last name.
Anyway, it might not seem like that big of a deal for dudes, but they just don’t know. In the long run it’ll be nice for our children to have the same name as us, so I was happy to oblige.
So I’m done with the gibberish, here’s one of our wedding photos. Yes – that means I am in full possession of them. Whoop. You’ll be see those tomorrow. Yeah!

I decided not to put a name in the title of this blog because this is still kinda a secret. This wifey (also one of my best friends) is doing these photos for her husband’s birthday. She said I could sneak a couple up on my blog since there’s a very good chance he will never read this blog. Ever.
With that said, here are two photos I wanted to share. I sent her about 5 to peek at, but I’m only showing you guys 2. After her hubby’s birthday I will show more.

Okay so I know I said I’d show some more photos of the honeymoon (and still have yet to show you wedding photos), but they are coming soon. I will probably end up showing you the honeymoon photos first. We’ll be getting the disk with all the wedding photos very soon and I’m excited to show you all!

After a wonderful honeymoon in Europe, I’m finally home. I’ll posted some updates once I’ve recovered from jet lag. In the meantime, here’s one of my favorite photos from the trip. So simple, yet perfect. It was taken in Marseille, France.

We did Drew and Tyson (from the last post) at they same time. They’re actually cousins. You’ll notice that some of the spots are pretty similar, but we changed it up a little bit. Here are some from Drew’s picks.
Drew actually attends the high school that my high school rivaled.

Here is Tyson. He plays football for Caldwell High School.
It’s crazy to be doing his senior photos because I watched this guy grow up. It’s strange to see him as a 6′4″ quarterback, vs the little toe head I remember.
Here are some of his photos:

He used to hate it when we said this, “Look at your baby blues”. But seriously, look at them!

Okay so I had to break these two posts up because I didn’t have all the photos done when I posted the last one. I was so excited about those I had to share them right away. Here are 3 more that I loved from their shoot.
This one is my absolute favorite!
