It's official. Nevermind the too much to do, stressful, wiggy, crazy side of this work. Who cares when you get to do shoots like this! I had so much fun I almost hyperventilated! Sometimes I feel like I should be paying someone to let me do this. Then I come to my senses...

Seriously, I hope they're even remotely as good as it felt to make them. It was the day after the wedding so there was no way to get everyone up for the good light. Nothing like a challenge! Hot, direct, midday Texas sun. Yeeeeeeehaaaawwww!

(More and the story on the blog)

Paige I love them...I really am in love with that 3rd one...bw umbrulla...fantastic. great job with the challenging conditions. way to rock it out.

Beautiful! I especially like the first one!!

GORGEOUS!!!!!!! I would LOVE to have taken any one of those photos!

Hmmm, it seems you may have even underestimated your feelings

Paige - I absolutely adore these. They are fantastic! The first one is just as cute as could ever be!

Work that sun, GIRL! These are fantabulous! Thanks so much for sharing. And, I totally know what you're talking about...wish I had more of those moments.

Great shots - very inspiring!!

Love what you did in taking them and in PP also!

Love them!

Ok, the one of her standing on the chair. LOVE IT

Wow, amazing. I can't pic a fave, I love them all. Geepers this place is so full of talent.

love them all!
when did you come through amarillo?
i LOVE the ones at the Cadillac Ranch!

Gourgeous! All of them! I used to live in Amarillo! The cadillac Racnh is very cool, but what gets me most are all of the weird signs in people yards. From what I can recall, the guy that started the cadillac ranch does the odd yard signs as well. He also put an ad in the newspaper once looking for elephant trainers, a bearded lady, a sousa player and a unicycle rider all in ome ad. Quite random.

Paige...THESE ARE GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE that first one!

These are great and I love the cadillac ranch pictures. We went there last year with our little boys and as car fanatics they loved spraypainting their names onto those cars!

Paige...you really knocked it out of the park on these. What a FABULOUS set of images....simply fantastic!

WOW!

The first one is outstanding. Love the 2 B&W right under it also. Great work.

Awesome pics! Is this near Amarillo where there's the cars stuck in the sand? Bet so. Wonderfully creative!

Stanley Marsh.
he's a weird one. when i was younger and worked as a waitress at cracker barrel, he got banned for bringing an entourage out there (where the weather channel video crews had set up camp during the big freeze in '99) and danced on his cars (painted the color of flamingos) all while wearing a chicken suit. he's a nut!

the caddys actually belong to the Route 66 group that keeps it up. but it's on his land. my parent's live about a mile away from those cars. i sometimes forget they're there!

nice shots though. i LOVE the one of her standing on the chair!

Thank y'all sooooo much! You have no idea how much I appreciate your kind words!

Actually these were all taken at Cadillac Ranch. They had just plowed under the fields around it, so to escape the German biker tourists (that part of the story and pics are on the blog) we headed into the fields. I think my favorite shots were when the umbrella inverted itself in the wind. I'm not much on props but I loved what the umbrella, which we destroyed, and the chair did for these. That first shot is going on all my advertising. I'm so glad y'all like it too!

We were supposed to do this shoot when I shot the first of these two brides' wedding in January. Except that it snowed a foot the day of her wedding and there was no getting her out in it the day after. Wouldn't this be a cool place to shoot in the snow?

Great work (as usual!) Love the fun feel to the first shot & the sense of space in the third one.

WOW!! Great job!

The concepts are pretty rad, great job Paige!

Paige these are incredible, and so are the wedding and engagement pictures. Sounds like it was a remarkable weekend.
