Burn after Photographing

Remember a year or so back when I posted some pictures of an old Ford out at the Seidler farm near Garrison, N.D.? Need a reminder? Lookie here.

Or, maybe you remember the pictures of my niece Samantha photographed with the car... again, check those out here.

Apparently sometime towards the end of July there was a huge grass fire on the farm. Luckily, the farm itself (as well as the Seidler's house) was sparred. But, the poor car was destroyed.

It now has a totally different feeling to it... oddly, kind of renewing and clean. I'll miss the car the way it used to be, but now there is a completely different dimension to it. Here are some photographs.

Just to give you a sense of the destruction:

Samantha in the Studio

The whole Seidler family (even Steve!) came to Fargo this weekend. It was a fantastic opportunity to take some studio photographs of Samantha as it is her senior year. However, I had a wedding on Saturday, so our session was cut short... but, it's not like Sami will never enter the studio again.

Samantha is so beautiful and so much fun to photograph. How was I so lucky to marry into such a hot family?















The whole family (Adam, Ben, Steve, Samantha and Karmen)

Movember

My lovely husband and several of the men the Hotel Donaldson in Fargo shaved their beards off off on October 31, and on the morn of November 1 began to grow some beautiful mustaches. Why? Movember, of course... a fabulous charity event to raise money for prostate cancer research. The Hotel Donaldson will host an event on November 31, where, I am sure, there will plenty of mustaches for you all to gawk at.

Ben, our nephew, is also joining in on the cause. Mid-November, are these fellas lovely or what?

Let me touch...

Dave celebrated his 40th birthday last weekend at Stokers (Hotel Donaldson)... and, well, we couldn't resist throwing up a photo booth. I really couldn't have imagined the photographs that came out of this hair brained idea... let me just say it should be rated PG-13...

Enjoy :)
