So many places to photograph, I was dizzy....and then I was in love with the Paloma's dress, made by Seattle designer <a href="http://www.wai-ching.com">Chrissy Waiching</a>, and to top it off they had an amazing mariachi band! And I loved the ingenius styling by Soiree Event Stylists....classy meets whimsical. <br />I have to say, the whole mariachi band idea had me swooning....</p> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma1.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma2.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma3.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma4.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma5.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma6.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma7.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma7b.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma8.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma9.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma10.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma11.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma12.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma13.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma14.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma15.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma16.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma17.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma18.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/paloma19.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-8943567983936913525?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-43086653233161094862011-03-25T12:06:00.000-07:002011-03-25T12:25:37.411-07:00<div align="center"><p align="left">Two of the nicest, funnest people I have ever met! Anna and Karl decided to do a "redo" of their wedding portraits, and I wanted to really capture their unique blend of classy and fun. I think we nailed it....what a beautiful spring day in Seattle, and an amazing evening at the exquisite <a href="http://themoonmansion.com">Moon Mansion</a> in N. Bend. This is a new favorite venue! <br />The first image is a combination of a shot taken of me taking the picture that you see on top....thanks to Joe Wilbur, husband extraordinaire of my friend and assistant for the day, Claire Wilbur of <a href="http://www.cloedesigns.com">Cloe Designs</a>.

These albums <span style="font-style:italic;">rock</span> because they are as unique as you are. Whether it's metal, mystery glass, canvas, fabric, leather or genuine hide....or any combination you can think of, make it your own! Go for a long narrow flip book, or over sized standard....the possibilities are endless! It's a statement presentation of once in a lifetime memories that you'll be proud to display.

There were <span style="font-style:italic;">so</span> many images I loved from this wedding, as well as it being held at one of my very favorite venues, <a href="http://terrabellaweddings.com">TerraBella</a>. <br />Renee and Steve were <span style="font-style:italic;">such</span> a fun, easygoing couple - everything just flowed like perfection at this lovely morning wedding amongst the flowers and foliage. But what made it really special was the ending - which was a surprise to absolutely everyone - family, friends....even the wedding party (the only exceptions were myself and the Best Man). <br />At the end of the reception the bride and groom invited everyone to follow them out the gate...and across the street and up the embankment. The confusion and uncertainty on the guests faces was <span style="font-style:italic;">priceless</span> - but they trusted their leaders and fearlessly climbed and hiked about 1/4 mile down the road (having no idea why, as the musicians continued to play as they walked). <br />At the end of the little journey was a tiny boat....they kicked off their shoes, raised the sail, and launched down the river. You could just feel how it left everyone touched, and a little breathless. <span style="font-style:italic;">Hope sails</span>.</p> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs1.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs2.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs3.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs4.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs5.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs6.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs7.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs8.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs9.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs10.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs11.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs12.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs13.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs14.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs15.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs16.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs17.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs18.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs19.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs20.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs20b.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs21.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs22.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs23.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs24.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs25.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs26.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs27.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs28.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs29.jpg"></div> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/rs30.jpg"></div> <br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-5076914682966494097?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-74495903967332771952011-01-04T10:54:00.000-08:002011-01-04T10:59:37.851-08:00<div align="center"><p align="left">Wow.

Sometimes life just gets that way. What more can I say. <br />I have found myself posting on Facebook (I now have 4 pages to keep up with!!) and in the process of all that, plus launching the new Boudoir Website "Hush-Hush Boudoir", my poor blog has been a casualty. <br />BUT - I am back! And am recommitted to posting here regularly....along with a HUUUUGE backlog of summer weddings, boudoir, seniors etc, which I'm sure I will never catch up on. But will at least do a few highlights in each catagory.... <br />Elise and Paul were just, well, plain FUN. So down to earth, gracious, and funny. So many reception shots that make me laugh, although not sure I'm allowed to post some of them - so I'm keeping it tame here. <br />Music: <a href="http://www.chopstixpianobar.com">Chopstix Piano Bar</a> <br />Venue: <a href="http://www.evergreengardensweddings.com">Evergreen Gardens</a> <br />Florist: Megan Atterberry <br /></p> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Elise&Paul1.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Elise&Paul2.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Elise1.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise2.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise3.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise4.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise5.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise6.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise7.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise8.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise9.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise10.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise11.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise12.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise13.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise14.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise15.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise16.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise17.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise18.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise19.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise20.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/elise21.jpg"></div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-6162175231936359887?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-25736261463824669292010-05-21T10:15:00.000-07:002010-05-21T10:22:17.235-07:00<div align="center"><p align="left">I'm proud to introduce my new dedicated Boudoir Website.....<a href="http://www.hushhushboudoir.com">Hush-Hush Boudoir</a> is now LIVE!!!</p><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/pinup.jpg"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-2573626146382466929?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-45210320902351048812010-05-18T11:44:00.000-07:002010-05-18T11:59:16.795-07:00<div align="center"><p align="left">Alright girls - If you are anywhere in the vicinity and want to have a great time sipping free wine and champagne, yummy nibbles, check out some amazing lingerie, not to mention possibly winning one of the over $1000 in prizes being drawn to celebrate the launch of my new "Hush-Hush Boudoir" website, then head over to Boudoir (406 Commercial Ave) this Friday evening from 5-9pm in downtown Anacortes!!

This is such a fun thing to do for yourself, or as a gift for someone you love - and the possibilities are endless.<br />My most recent one was done in a classic diner in Pioneer Square, Seattle. <a href="http://www.planetjavadiner.com/Site/Planet_Java_Diner.html">Planet Java Diner</a> is one of my favorite breakfast spots, and has the coolest retro ambiance - and the bathrooms are floor to ceiling chalkboard, with chalk provided to express yourself. Hair and Make-up for this shoot was provided by the fabulous <a href="http://www.myspace.com/fuchsiafoxxx">Fuchsia Foxx</a>, who is also a great coach for tossing your inhibitions and feeling sexy!<br />The groovy vintage style clothing came from my new favorite girlie place, <a href="http://www.thedivadollz.com">Diva Dollz</a>, just around the corner. Seriously - if you have a penchant for vintage, pin-up, corsets, stockings and the like, you <span style="font-style:italic;">must</span> check this place out. <br />And for beautiful lingerie and props in our neck of the woods, <a href="http://www.boudoircatalog.com">Boudoir</a> is guaranteed to have you walking out the door with a secret smile on your face. My point here being girls, that "boudoir" can be whatever you make it, and it'll make you feel like a million bucks. So have some fun, and let your inner naughty out!.</p><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/diner1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/diner2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/diner3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/diner4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/diner5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mary1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mary2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mary3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mary4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mary5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mary6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mary7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mary8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mary9.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mary10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mary11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mary12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mary13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/jess1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/jess2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/jess3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/jess4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/jess5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/jess6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/jess7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/jess8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/jess9.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/jen1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/jen2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/jen3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/island1.jpg"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-3657508969105583947?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-70317333092843347862010-01-05T14:54:00.000-08:002010-01-05T17:16:57.366-08:00<div align="center"><br /><p align="left"><span style="font-style:italic;">Wow</span> was this ever a fun wedding!

I'm always really sensitive to that when I'm shooting, and hopeful that the images capture what their spirit was seeking. Zani was one of those, and all her beautiful tattoos were imbued with meaning. I often wonder what a difference it would make in each of our lives if we could see ourselves less with our own self-critical eyes, and more through the eyes of others and what they appreciate us for.</p><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Zani1.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Zani2.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Zani3.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Zani4.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Zani5.jpg"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-8331425213412444141?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-43363597867589366382009-12-17T18:09:00.001-08:002009-12-18T17:10:22.943-08:00<div align="center"><br /><p align="left">OK, I know it's been <span style="font-style:italic;">forever</span> since I've posted, but it was a particularly busy season for me, and despite my promise to myself that I would hire someone this year, it somehow slipped by and then, well, it was just too late to take that on. So, I will be trickling out some posts over the holiday season to try to catch up at least a tiny bit. <br />This wedding had so many images I loved, that even as long as this post is, these are just a few of the highlights. Jil and Corey were <span style="font-style:italic;">so</span> much fun to photograph. We were short for time on the portraits, but Jil is such a beautiful model that I'm going to drag her out again (and hopefully Corey too) come spring to do more bridal concept shots. <br />One of my favorite moments of this wedding was when the ringbearer suddenly came barreling down the aisle just before the exchange of rings. To say he adores Corey is an understatement - he just couldn't help himself. It was just so cool how they rolled with it, laughing, and incorporated him into the ceremony. <br />Jil and Corey, I truly felt blessed to be part of your day. You are two <span style="font-style:italic;">very</span> special people.<br />Oh - and a shout out to the amazing Kaily Fitzgerald who coordinated everything and did all the beautiful arrangements, and to <a href="http://www.beachcastlesweets.com">Beach Castle Sweets</a> who, let me just say, make the most ridiculously delicious handmade chocolates ever to pass your lips. I was laying in bed catatonic after the wedding, devouring all the ones I made off with.....wishing I had grabbed more.

I have, simply, the most amazing women as friends. It borders on the surreal just how otherworldly great they are. Julia, an artist, had recently moved into this fantastical "cabin" in the woods about 10 minutes outside of Bend, and we had to check it out. <a href="http://www.studioditeman.com">Sherri</a>, a rockstar of a photographer, and <a href="http://lindaditeman.com">Linda</a>, a designer who recently graced the cover of Portland Spaces magazine, came in from Portland, kids in tow. As usual with our group, it doesn't really seem to matter how many wee ones are running amuck - it just kinda works in a strangely organic way, and we still get to relax. Of course the huge hot-tub, the amazing mountain bike trails, and the beautiful river (which I slept along one night and was visited by a friendly spirit), didn't hurt.<br />And no, clothes were rarely worn by the youngest (and the rest of us at times). Who needs 'em?

These two were about as laid back a couple as you'll find, and all their friends and family contributed to making their day an unforgettable one. <br />The roast pig was a continual source of entertainment, what with eyeball eating dares and general gnoshing of parts that wouldn't normally make it on the menu - with the dog just laying low under the table catching flung bits.<br />The ceremony was very sweet, in that it included Noel's daughter, along with some unique traditions that were special to the couple (the binding together, and sharing of bread). I always love the "after" shots of the couple - how totally relaxed they are compared to the start of the day! And of course everyone wanted to know <span style="font-style:italic;">what was under the kilt......</span><br />As you can see by the last images, the party got the better of one or two of the partygoers.

These women are each amazingly talented in their own right, and each one lives their life in a true and beautiful way. I love them to my bones, and every day I am so thankful they are in my life.<br />We cook together, walk together, skinny-dip in the lake, and talk and laugh (a <span style="font-style:italic;">lot</span>). It's just about the moment, and being in it for whatever that looks like during the course of the day. <br />These images are in no particular order, but are randomly picked to give the flavor of one of our weekends - my advice?

She was the one who encouraged me to start shooting weddings, and I'm forever grateful to her for that. <br />I have to say, shooting another photographer's wedding is an interesting experience...especially since she is <span style="font-style:italic;">so</span> much like me in that she does <span style="font-style:italic;">not</span> like the camera pointing at her. It is now a painful joke that we never really got pics of her and Daniel.....she simply <span style="font-style:italic;">wouldn't</span> get dressed. We hung out in the super-cool <a href="http://tincantina.com">"Tin Cantina"</a> sipping Campari on the rocks as the sun sank low, until it was well passed ceremony start time. This is what happens when you agree to a very loose "just snap a few shots" sort of thing. I still cringe over this. But it was <span style="font-style:italic;">so</span> beautiful - and so perfectly her. I am honored to have been a part of it, because she is one of the most beautiful, true people I have ever known, and Daniel is such a wonderful talented guy, and perfect match.</p><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri9.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri16.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri17.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri18.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri19.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri20.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri21.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri22.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri23.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri24.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri25.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri26.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri27.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri28.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/sherri29.jpg"><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-553716682959561771?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-79563167984441145602009-06-15T12:32:00.000-07:002009-06-15T12:37:39.351-07:00<div align="center"><br /><p align="left">Here's a shoot I forgot to post a while back, but had a lot of fun on.

Because the mama and papa had both illegally jumped fences on different properties to be together, she named him "Forrest Jump" which I think is pretty funny...<br />I had stood vigil with her for 2 nights waiting, and then when the time was getting close I had to leave for all of 20 minutes and <span style="font-style:italic;">missed</span> it!! I arrived just after he hit the dirt, running up the lane at 10pm in my pajamas and slippers with my camera. I did actually help baby stand for the first time and try to guide him to the teat (unsuccessfully - just a lot of licking of milk that was getting on my hand), so I feel totally bonded with the little guy. The first shots are just after birth, and the rest are of the next morning and evening. I think I'm in love..... </p><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/fj1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/fj2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/fj3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/fj4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/fj5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/fj6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/fj7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/fj8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/fj9.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/fj10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/fj11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/fj12.jpg"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-713034345164544905?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-76407609146637029582009-06-02T13:09:00.000-07:002009-06-03T08:14:44.284-07:00<div align="center"><br /><p align="left">Making use of the beautiful stretch of weather, I got some fun shots of the <span style="font-style:italic;">very</span> talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/howlinlanefernando">Lane Fernando</a> down at Bowman's Bay.

I'll be photographing their wedding this summer at this same great spot, and can't wait, because they are <span style="font-style:italic;">such</span> a happy, go-with-it couple.

Over the years, this family has been very generous with sharing this lovely home on the water, and it seems that people just came out of the woodwork to give back on this special day. I just love seeing that principle at work, so naturally.

After a day of soaking up Boston, we headed north, spent the afternoon cruising the waterways, then feasted on succulent lobster as the sun went down (wow - I was <span style="font-style:italic;">extremely</span> well fed the entire time!).<br />The wedding party stayed in a beautiful hundred plus year old home (conveniently across the street from a Dunkin' Donuts, which I found out was the area's answer to a Starbucks on every corner). The castle was simply breathtaking. Really, what can I say. Sitting perched above the ocean on a bluff, it really was quite magnificent, and a bit surreal to say the least. <br />I absolutely loved every minute of this wedding - and if ever there was a group of people who <span style="font-style:italic;">really</span> know how to love, this was it. I was incredibly blessed to be a part of it. It was a very traditional Jewish ceremony, with every detail imbued with love - including the handmade chuppa.<br />A special note needs to be made regarding the entertainment - the Della Porta Brothers of <a href="http://www.generalsound.com">General Sound Entertainment</a> are unlike anything I have ever seen at a reception. Not only are they incredible DJ's, but Todd is a born entertainer, and has a <span style="font-style:italic;">beautiful</span> voice. They are, simply, the <span style="font-style:italic;">absolute</span> best (I LOVED these guys!!).<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Video production:</span> <a href="http://www.moonlightvideopro.com/index.shtml">Moonlight Video</a> (Bob and his partner are complete professionals, and <span style="font-style:italic;">so</span> easy and enjoyable to work with!)<br /><br /> </p><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m9.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m16.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m17.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m18.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m19.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m20.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m21.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m22.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m23.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m24.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m25.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m26.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m27.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m28.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m29.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/l&m30.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-4940897572802425054?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-42118219917752408202009-02-06T20:52:00.000-08:002009-02-16T11:41:44.179-08:00<div align="center"><br /><p align="left">These are from the shoot I did for the following post - <a href="http://www.boudoircatalog.com">Boudoir</a> & <a href="http://www.bellissimatrattoria.com">Bellissima's</a> Dinner Show.

It made for a bit a of a challenge, and we had to keep her dress clear, but I loved the shots we got - and isn't that sash on her dress <span style="font-style:italic;">beautiful</span>!?? <br />Jeremiah was keepin it real with diaper duty, and their neice and nephew were a hit as ring bearer and flower girl.

It is a very cool thing, as somehow, even with all the kids (we lost count), everyone gets taken care of and the kids even kind of create their own little tribe. (Lord of the Flies without the brutality.....or maybe we just haven't stayed long enough for it to play itself out!?).<br />I'm a huge fan of these long weekends, and <span style="font-style:italic;">really</span> look forward to them every year. One is with a group of friends where we bring our kids, and the other is with a different group of friends where it's just us women only. Either way, I highly encourage every groovy girl out there to create her own tribe and make it happen once a year - if you shop around and ask around, you can do it on the cheap by the time you divide it up...Get creative! <br />And yes, it <span style="font-style:italic;">is</span> as chaotic as it looks.

And <a href="http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/visit/OSP">Olympic Sculpture Park</a> is just an awesome place to rock your shots... </p><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia9.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia16.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/julia17.jpg"><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-1379759444206439410?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-20229704453546108812008-08-29T14:11:00.000-07:002008-08-29T14:41:31.078-07:00<div align="center"><br /><p align="left"><span style="font-style:italic;">Oh my</span> - Julia and Jesse were just a photographer's <span style="font-style:italic;">dream</span>.....could have spent hours just playing with different ideas, but of course, the wedding must go on... <br />I was in love with her beauty mark, veil and curl - reminded me of the classic 20's and 40's Vogue images.

Completely custom designed with your choice of photo(s)/graphics for the wraparound cover. It comes filled with 10-15 mounted prints with slightly beveled gilded edges that you can display on the included wooden stand.

Use your imagination and come away with a one-of-a-kind way to display your favorite images from your session avec moi.

I swear, even as I uttered the fateful words, the voice in my head (otherwise known as rational thought) screamed "<span style="font-style:italic;">What are you thinking??!!</span>"<br />Well, of course, as every mom with kids and a dog (or now, in our case, dog<span style="font-style:italic;">s</span>) knows, there is NO taking back those words. <br /> <br />So, here is our newest addition, who we have yet to name, and we visit every few days until he is old enough to move in with us. He is the son of our own mentally askew English Bulldog, Bruto. I, with the help of the owner of the beautiful Boxer we bred him to, managed to consumate the most unnatural act of nature ever to be witnessed by two amateurs. I kid you not.....this <span style="font-style:italic;">never</span> could have happened without human determination at it's finest. I would post the pictures, but somehow I think I would be accused of animal abuse, not to mention perversion.

I am now about a month behind. But I had to post this particular wedding - not only because the people in it were so wonderful, but it was held at the Seattle Arboretum which is so very beautiful in Spring. Mark and Marcy were wed in a very intimate ceremony, complete with pirate (no, seriously. He <span style="font-style:italic;">was</span> a pirate.). Something I really loved about their ceremony was how they took a tree seedling (liberated from the arboretum by yours truly) and each scooped life-giving dirt into the cup, then passed it to their family members to add more, who will be nurturing their relationship as well over the years to come. I thought that was pretty cool.

After checking out her Artwalk creations a couple of times (see past posts), she went all out for some concept looks and I was the lucky girl who got to shoot them! It was <span style="font-style:italic;">sooooo</span> much fun to scout around for the perfect places to shoot - she made them up, dressed them up, and then let me run with it and shoot however and wherever I wanted. Her wonderful model, Hillary, was as cooperative with my ideas as she was beautiful.<br />Luckily, we have some very cool businesses in Old Town Anacortes that let me utilize their shops for a backdrop - so I want to thank Sally at Maison et Jardin (who was so <span style="font-style:italic;">very</span> accomodating and kind in more ways than one) and Doug Burton, owner of <a href="http://www.burtonjewelers.com">Burton's Jewelers</a>.<br />We'll be doing several more that showcase Kelsey's makeup and hair talents, so stay tuned.....and if you are a bride who has not yet chosen her hair designer, call Kelsey and go glam! </p><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/redport1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/redport2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/redport3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/redport4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/redport5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/redport6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/redport7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/redport8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/redport9.jpg"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-8962967703216795559?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-12678968369537938842008-03-24T15:31:00.000-07:002008-03-26T20:19:42.670-07:00<div align="center"><br /><p align="left">I just love photographing pregnancies, what with the beautiful curves, and playing with light - and trying something new each time just for fun.

I love it when a client calls me up or emails me to let me know about something that is happening in their life that they have become involved with, and has importance to them - and that they think I might also be interested in. (That's right folks....this is a two way conversation on this blog!! So join in!!).<br />Two moms recently contacted me, one the beautiful mother of an almost 2 year old, and the other the mom of 3 beautiful boys, one of whom was tragically killed in Iraq. I had previously photographed them both at different times (one for portraits and the other for a dance/theater production by Pam Kuntz). <br />They are both putting their hearts and time into a really wonderful project called <a href="http://www.whatcomvisualizespeace.org">"Whatcom Visualizes Peace"</a> which is a community project designed to raise awareness about how this war (or any war, for that matter) affects us on so many levels here at home. Unless you have directly experienced the devastation of losing a loved one in the war, it is often difficult to connect with the true cost to our communities. We continue to fill our gas tanks (even though we whine about the price), go to the mall, out to dinner, and fill our fridge at the well stocked grocery store. So much of the cost is hidden from our daily sight, or couched in less offensive terms.<br />This is an opportunity to participate (it's not too late to make your own poster!) and experience through art the imprint this has had on your neighbors and on your community. I encourage anyone who is or can be in the Bellingham area to check this show out on Friday, March 28th as part of Bellingham's Artwalk.<br />If you want to create your own poster (any age can participate!) there are templates available - just go to <a href="http://www.whatcomvisualizespeace.org">"Whatcom Visualizes Peace"</a>. <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Peace</span> </p><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/peace.jpg"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-6692890935805953673?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-81519186592200513902008-03-03T14:49:00.000-08:002008-03-03T21:09:47.654-08:00<div align="center"><br /><p align="left">There is nothing quite like a gorgeous fine art print, printed with the highest quality archival pigment inks on lusciously thick 100% cotton rag fine art paper. Yes, these are more expensive than a traditional print, and worth every penny. They are meant to be framed, not slipped into a plastic sleeve, and have all the aesthetics of an heirloom. I am now offering these both directly and through Pictage, in standard and custom (call for a quote) sizes.

You know, that little voice that talks all sweet and soft and reminds you of all the warm fuzzy moments of those days. So I had the opportunity to take care of my best friend's one and a half year old and two and a half year old (yup - you read that right) for 4 and a half days (See? I am already reverting to counting things in halves).<br />The first day was pretty calm, as they were apparently assessing the situation. By the second day, I was so suckered in by the first day that I actually thought I could handle taking them shopping in a nearby town. I was exhausted by the time I finally got both car seats figured out, waited for the 2 year old to decide to get in the car <span style="font-style:italic;">by himself</span> (because, as I found out, he can do everything <span style="font-style:italic;">by himself</span> thank you very much), and flopped into the driver's seat. We had snacks, diapers, wipes, and bottles. I was feeling pretty together.<br />I could give you the long version, but I'm still tired two days after their departure and simply don't have the energy. Suffice it to say that after losing the one-and-a-half year old several times in Old Navy (neither one was interested in that handy device called a stroller, and one of them suffered from Sudden Onset Deafness Syndrome) during a game of what I finally realized was hide-and-seek, and chasing every conceivable size and style of ball that had somehow escaped the large container they were held in, I decided a quick stop to the grocery store was about all I could handle for the rest of the day. <br />The grocery store ended up being a series of near catastrophic accidents, as they insisted we needed the cart with the double seated truck attached to the front. <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">I can't drive those.</span> <br />Where at first I was getting sympathetic nods, by the end I was getting those judgmental glares that said "if you can't handle it, you should have used birth control". I nearly took out an entire end-aisle display of wine. What was I doing in the wine aisle with two babies? Do you really have to ask?<br />We pretty much stuck around the house after that.<br />But even though I had forgotten how tiring it is, it was so much fun to experience all the wonder that is that age. The sweet little smiles, and chipmunk talk in the background, and walks that contain wonder in every step. When was the last time it took you an hour to go one block - just because there was so much magic all around you to be discovered? So here are a few things that I miss about those days.....<br /><br />Superhero Underwear<br />People who think I'm funny<br />Bare Baby Buns in the Bathtub<br />Bedtime Stories<br />Snuggle Time<br />Seeing the World through Brand New Eyes<br /><br />And what don't I miss? <br /><br />Carseats and Sleep Deprivation<br /><br />So to all you WonderMoms out there, my hat is off to you....and I say don't sweat the vacuuming, there's alligators to be fought in the bathtub and fairies waiting under the toadstools. <br />(And can anyone tell me a quick way to get Play-Doh out of wicker - short of surgical tools??)</p><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/River&Clea1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/River&Clea7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/River&Clea2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/River&Clea3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/River&Clea4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/River&Clea5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/River&Clea6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/River&Clea8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/River&Clea9.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/River&Clea10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/River&Clea11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/River&Clea12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/River&Clea13.jpg"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-27189321225161376?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-79935043520238604082008-02-02T09:54:00.000-08:002008-02-02T14:04:42.990-08:00<div align="center"><br /><p align="left">Well, the dynamos of <a href="http://www.red-salon.com">Red Salon</a> have done it again.....I popped in as they were putting the finishing touches on their works of art for the Friday night Artwalk, and let me just say I left wishing I was stepping out onto the streets of Montmartre where I stood a chance of stumbling onto some smoky (yes folks, they still smoke in France) dreamlike scene where someone would ask if I cared for some absinthe..... <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Sigh</span>, but even though it was Commercial Avenue, the offerings last night were, as usual, well worth making the effort to see.

She had heard of a family of 6 redheads in Eastern Washington (expecting their 7th family member in a matter of weeks) and hired me to fly out and photograph them. One thing led to another, and the more I talked to her, the more I got excited about her project, and ended up photographing several other redheads for the book as well.<br /><br />They were all such fun, and <span style="font-style:italic;">cute cute cute</span>!! I especially was bowled over by the very gracious and loving family in eastern WA - living an idyllic life tucked away in a spectacularly beautiful rural setting. They were breathtaking - in many ways. I love the one of pregnant Trudy and her clan in the meadow.<br /><br />If you know a redhead, you simply <span style="font-style:italic;">must</span> have this book.

Thought I'd share a few of the highlights, including a great personal tour courtesy of Omar, a veritable storehouse of history and information about the area. He took us to a few local villages (which was great for our kids to experience, and check out the hand rolled cigar the old gentleman made), a tile maker (Miguel, who let my son Patrick try his hand at the art), and a new archaeological dig that is uncovering a pyramid. We highly recommend Omar (Cell #01 (755) 115-45-61), who is as kind and fun to hang with as he is knowledgeable. <br />My son managed the challenge of climbing a coconut tree (you can see the moment of panic as he hugged the trunk), and in a classic sibling moment "helped" his sister get over the fear of big waves......ending, as usual, in tears. (Does this look familiar anyone??) But at the next beach she was diving into them without a second thought - so maybe there is something to the wild jungle code of brother vs sister.<br />And for anyone going down there this time of year, keep your eyes peeled for the baby sea turtles hatching - my daughter got to release one into the wild blue.<br />One of my favorite moments was at a catholic church in a village nearby, where the old man with the source candle lit the faithfuls' offerings, prayers promised to loved ones, sick ones, those in need. It is a lingering habit for me to light a candle when I am in a church while traveling, having been raised Catholic.<br />All in all, after spending a few days at a lovely hotel, followed by a few days in a very basic accomodation with a more communal feel, my recommendation is to definitely mix it up - but end it with the thick towels and room service! My self portrait with toes peeping out of the terrace hot tub pretty much sums it up....<br />I want to thank all my fabulous clients for the gift of spending time with them and their families, and hope you all are having a magical holiday season.<br />Hasta la Vista!<br /><br /></p><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico9.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico16.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico17.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Mexico18.jpg"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-4705551824601177522?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-7332005311464898542007-12-10T18:27:00.000-08:002007-12-10T18:41:07.304-08:00<div align="center"><br /><p align="left">After shooting in my studio downtown the other evening, I was tipped off by a friend (thanks Ruby!) that the gals at <a href="http://www.red-salon.com">Red Salon</a> across the street were up to some avant garde fun for December's Artwalk. I dashed over to snap a few quick shots before the festivities got under way, and the lovely Shawn Wright was kind enough to let me in for a few minutes while they were still preparing. I thought their idea of holding up frames to present themselves as works of art (which they were!!) was too cool.

And as the storm rolled in, and everyone else was battening down the hatches (aahhh..look how easy the new vernacular rolls off my tongue) we slipped her into the water and had our maiden voyage. (That's my son, the one who refuses to smile for posterity - as you can see, my daughter has no such hang-ups) And I don't care - we may end up losing the house and living aboard on those handy fold out bench seats, but when the wind is in your hair, and the islands are out in front of you, the prospect of finding that perfect remote beach to make camp on wins out - AHOY!!! </p><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/boat1.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/boat2.jpg"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-9077777938876900063?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-70322073452903185742007-11-08T10:09:00.000-08:002007-11-08T12:17:54.954-08:00<div align="center"><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/wine.jpg"><br /><p align="left">I have decided to sprinkle my blog between now and the holidays with some of my favorite things - many of which translate into great ideas for gifts that won't look like everyone else's.<br />I am really excited about this one - this has to be one of the best, most original ideas for a gift (and a <span style="font-style:italic;">fabulous</span> wedding gift idea) that I've seen in a while. It came from a bride who's wedding I co-shot with Portland's best wedding photographer, and one of the most naturally talented women I've ever known, <a href="http://www.sherri-diteman.com">Sherri Diteman</a>.<br />The happy couple now owns <a href="http://www.amphoracandles.com">Amphora Candles</a>, a brilliant idea that takes your empty bottle of wine, hand cuts and grinds it above the label, then fills it with high quality eco-friendly soy wax to make a beautiful candle to remind you of that special occasion upon which the bottle was consumed. And best of all, it's refillable! <br />In fact, I was so taken with the idea, thinking what a great gift a bottle of wine from your local wine seller (support your local wine shop folks!) paired with a gift certificate for an Amphora Candle would be that I emailed them and they offered a gift certificate for me to give away on my blog! So I trotted down to <a href="http://www.compasswines.com">Compass Wines</a> here in <a href="http://www.anacortes.org">Anacortes</a>, where the owner and staff are <span style="font-style:italic;">super</span> friendly sans snobbery, and always have the best advice on what to get, and they offered a lovely bottle of 2005 Barbera (who can say that without thinking Yogi Bear of Hanna-Barbera??) as the sacrificial bottle! <br />So, for the first person who can tell me where the grape variety Barbera hails from originally, this yummy wine and a beautiful Amphora candle await you! (C'mon folks, this is an easy one!)</p><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-7032207345290318574?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-68334747671636890212007-11-04T14:59:00.000-08:002007-11-08T08:09:25.890-08:00<div align="center"><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/WilliamSue.jpg"><br /><br /><p align="left">Too bad my sexy red shoes didn't get in the picture, but thanks to the generosity of particularly kind <a href="http://www.thesymphonyguild.org">Symphony Guild Members</a>, Michelle West of QSolutions and Michael of <a href="http://www.ragefilms.com">Rage Films</a>, I got to go cheek to cheek with <a href="http://www.aliceinchains.com">Alice in Chains'</a> lead singer William DuVall after the spectacular <a href="http://www.symphonylegacy.com">Legacy Symphony</a> at <a href="http://www.seattlesymphony.org">Benaroya Hall</a> in Seattle Friday night.<br />What has become one of my favorite charities I donate to each year, I have to say I wasn't sure quite what to expect from this melange of talent that is brought together each year by the herculean efforts of <a href="http://www.mateomessina.com">Matt Messina</a> for the benefit of uncompensated care for Children's Hospital. <br />I'm actually sitting here with writer's block trying to muster words that can convey the experience. How do you describe a night of everything from symphony orchestra and tango to modern dance and hard rock? And how can you <span style="font-style:italic;">possibly</span> imagine how the beauty of their intersection could create such a masterpiece converging on a single theme? I doubt that I can, but if you want a tiny taste of what you missed, you can purchase a DVD of the show at <a href="http://www.thesymphonyguild.org">The Symphony Guild's website</a>.<br />This is an event that the audience really gets into - it is all about the kids, and they turn donating into a truly fun activity - donors provide seriously cool gifts each year to be auctioned off, and a raffle creates a great buzz at intermission. <br />If you have ever thought of charity events as rather dull fare - trust me on this one.... you haven't <span style="font-style:italic;">lived</span> till you've heard Led Zeppelin's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roj7EHQURnI">"Kashmir"</a> played by Alice in Chains backed by the <a href="http://www.northwestsymphonyorchestra.org">Northwest Symphony Orchestra</a> and the <a href="http://www.northwestgirlchoir.org">Northwest Girlchoir</a>.

Not really, but let’s just say I do cuz’ there is probably a great reason it’s called Penguin Coffee and I would be really embarrassed to find out what it was, but I am probably so sleep deprived that I have totally missed it, which after all is the main reason I am there every day! So we all win in the end....me and all the regulars that congregate there every morning, assuming they have all had their metimucil. But our favorite regular by far is owner/operator and Dimple King, Aaron Howell. Looks like we caught him, bag in hand, coming in a bit late today. It wasn’t until he whipped out the Yoda ears that we learned that unassuming brown paper bag was chock full of CANDY! Who says you have to wait until dark to go trick-or-treating? Not Aaron...as far as he’s concerned dark is dark and it sure was dark when he got up this morning...Speaking of get up, check out the picture of the Penguin gang. That’s Aaron, second one from the left. No...wait...that’s him in the center...wait where are the dimples deep enough to measure espresso shots with? And it certainly wouldn’t be Aaron without the trademark Crocs.....except on Halloween of course when he ALWAYS wears clogs...<span style="font-style:italic;">duh</span>....who doesn’t?<br />Actually, I think the only reason the gang dressed as their beloved boss was for the free eyebrow wax they would be getting when their shift was over...complements of the lion’s share of testosterone that is Aaron Howell.....and you can tell by the look on his face that he is well aware of that fact....am I right ladies???!</p><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Penguin1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Penguin2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Penguin3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Penguin4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Penguin5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Penguin6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Penguin7.jpg"><br /></div><span style="font-style:italic;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-2455563055395235513?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-17595852828550044842007-10-30T12:51:00.000-07:002007-10-30T13:30:58.440-07:00<div align="center"a><br /><p align="left">I know, I know, you're <span style="font-style:italic;">drowning</span> in pumpkins, but I just have to jump into the holiday gushing and add my two cents. Every year my kids and I (and sometimes a couple extra friends) go to this wonderful pumpkin patch on McLean Road called <a href="http://www.festivaloffamilyfarms.com/farmmap/11-gordonskagitfarms.html">Gordons Skagit Farm</a>. Not only pumpkins, but apples, apple cider, baked yummies, farm animals, a corn field maze, and to top it off very cool pumpkin paintings adorn the outbuildings. We never fail to leave with the tailgate dragging, full to the brim with every kind of pumpkin imaginable. Ghost pumpkins, pie pumpkins, Cinderella pumpkins.....you get the idea. Where do all those pumpkins purchased in the midst of fall fever end up in November? Rotting on my porch of course, because there is apparently no such thing as a pumpkin rescue service. Under my care they die a slow and mushy death. And every year I swear I won't buy so many next time......<br />So if you are also a pumpkin junkie, leave a comment on this blog by midnight Halloween and you'll get a free 8x10 print of your choice from a past or present session!</p><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Gordons1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Gordons2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Gordons3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Gordons4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Gordons5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Gordons6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/Gordons7.jpg"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-1759585282855004484?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-62545588181185027672007-10-28T17:38:00.000-07:002007-10-30T13:18:39.923-07:00<div align="center"><br /><p align="left">It was all smiles and good times until I turned on the camera, and then these darling little fraternal twin sisters sobered right up and despite exhaustive efforts on their parents' part, those sweet faces hardly cracked a smile the entire session.

Thanks to the creative genius of <a href="http://www.arpiaphotoblog.com">Rudy Arpia</a> of <a href="http://www.provisage.com">Provisage</a>, I have a new blog with bigger images, cooler layout, and the ability to sign up for RSS - which I really have no idea what that is except that if you click on it and put in your email you will be alerted whenever there is a new post on my blog - which you won't want to miss because I have a lot of really fun things planned...including some giveaways! <br />What I am <span style="font-style:italic;">really</span> excited about most is getting my viewers (that means you!)involved - I'll be sharing what's new, tips for getting better images, my favorite links for Kids/Parents/Brides & Grooms, and lots of other cool goings on as well as my images. So be sure to give me your two cents worth!!<br align="left"><br />And for any of my groovy clients that have had their pictures taken by me at any time this past year, <span style="font-style:italic;">if there is an image you would like a digital file of to reproduce willy-nilly for the holidays, email me with the image # before December 1st, and I will send it to you</span> <span style="font-weight:bold;">FREE</span>!<br align="left"><br />I also just discovered a really great album design software (<a href="http://store.garyfonginc.com/gafodialdeso.html">Gary Fong's Album Designer</a>) that works with my freestyle brain - so here are a few spreads from an album of a <a href="http://www.gonorthwest.com/Washington/sanjuan/Orcas/orcas_island.htm">wedding on Orcas Island</a> at <a href="http://www.christinas.net">Christina's Greenbank Farm</a>...<br /></p><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/K&LAlbum2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/K&LAlbum1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/K&LAlbum3.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/K&LAlbum4.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/K&LAlbum5.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/K&LAlbum6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/K&LAlbum7.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/K&LAlbum8.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.suzannefogarty.com/blog/K&LAlbum9.jpg"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-7258414197187856183?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-38242185075778563802007-10-18T13:59:00.000-07:002007-10-21T13:40:30.766-07:00Okay, so my blogging has been in a holding pattern since I discovered this great guy (<a href="http://www.arpiaphotoblog.com/">Rodolfo Arpia</a> - who also happens to be a great photographer) at a conference I attended recently in LA. He has started a biz for pimping out photogs' blogs, and I am <span style="font-style: italic;">so </span>excited because he is almost done with mine - <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">so stay tuned!</span> The next blog will be new and improved!<br /><div style="text-align: left;">Meanwhile, I couldn't stand it any longer, as I now have a serious backlog of cool stuff to share - but recently I spotted this adorable little fairy at Larrabee Park in Bellingham. I thought she would be a great visual to include in my plug for the upcoming <a href="http://www.symphonylegacy.com/">Symphony Legacy</a> Orchestra at the <a href="http://www.seattlesymphony.org/">Benaroya Hall</a> in Seattle on November 2nd. This is one of my <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">FAVORITE</span> charities that I donate to each year - it is, by all accounts, a rockin' good show (this will be my first year actually attending), and gals - it is dress up time! How fun is that?? And the best part is the proceeds from the silent auction (feel free to bid on my Portrait Session!) go to Children's Hospital to help pay for uncompensated care. The music and performances are awsome, the cause is kids, and the tickets can be purchased through <a href="http://www.brownpapertickets.com/">Brown Paper Tickets</a>. And thanks to Michelle West, Sponsor Chairperson of the Symphony Guild (and owner of QSolutions for anyone who wants to work with a smart, funny, savvy gal for an individual approach to marketing your biz), whose tireless efforts supporting this gig got me aware and involved.......so go get your tickets and I'll see ya there!!

She is one of those creative geniuses that thrives under pressure (I know she's probably cringing if she just read that), but it's true. It doesn't matter what obstacles get thrown under her tires - she just Rambos over them and pulls out productions that make you laugh, cry and grab your heart before it hits the floor in moments of brilliance. It's playing for the next 2 weekends at the Bellingham Firehouse at 1314 Harris Avenue. Admission is $12/$10 for students and Seniors. <span style="font-style: italic;">Check it out</span> - her productions routinely enjoy sell-out crowds, and I have been lucky enough to have provided much of the photography for the last 3 of her productions. She uses dance, theater , video etc. to explore the compelling stories of a particularly interesting range of real parents - who by the way participate in the production.<br />Tickets can be purchased at the Community Food Co-op, Village Books, and at the door.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-4129269455818737116?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-3655787300660204342007-09-26T10:33:00.000-07:002007-10-21T13:17:15.993-07:00<div style="text-align: left;">OK, I'm here to tell you that it doesn't get any cuter than these kids.

One of my favorite things is when the groom sees the bride for the first time in her dress......and this was no exception.<br />And instead of cake, they had individual mini desserts (how cool is that??!), which are as it turns out, far less messy to pop into each other's mouths than a slice of 3 tiered cake....... all catered by the smoothly operating team of <a href="http://www.vibranttable.com">Salvadore Molly's Vibrant Table</a> in Portland (their bread salad is to die for!).<div align="center"><br /><img src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RtEW-NIyfII/AAAAAAAAAGc/Jg9XKGxPUoA/s1600/0074.jpg" width="580"><br /><img src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RtDLg9IyfEI/AAAAAAAAAF8/xqAbbHtVhUU/s1600/0006.jpg" width="580"><br /><img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RtEUzdIyfHI/AAAAAAAAAGU/EgyTfVjO8Pw/s1600/0078.jpg" width="580"><br /><img src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RtEUmtIyfGI/AAAAAAAAAGM/6o5i3_uiYvc/s1600/0080.jpg" width="580"><br /><img src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RtEUUNIyfFI/AAAAAAAAAGE/sbLo8dmlF7U/s1600/0082.jpg" width="890"><br /><img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RtDLINIyfBI/AAAAAAAAAFk/bNl-exrcmvg/s1600/0104.jpg" width="580"><br /><img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RtDKrtIye-I/AAAAAAAAAFM/Cp6gij2SP8k/s1600/0249.jpg" width="580"><br /><img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RtDKetIye8I/AAAAAAAAAE8/Wo4WJ-Ul52k/s1600/0472.jpg" width="580"><br /><img src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RtDLAdIyfAI/AAAAAAAAAFc/fDiY7LaDrrU/s1600/0194.jpg" width="580"><br /><img src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RtDKR9Iye7I/AAAAAAAAAE0/soLM0BAk94o/s1600/0521.jpg" width="890"><br /><img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RtCGNNIye6I/AAAAAAAAAEs/PQWQs3kSIL0/s1600/0534.jpg" width="580"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-7872163747696690559?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-74356258917090827612007-08-21T23:13:00.000-07:002007-10-19T21:24:51.783-07:00It was one of the few gorgeous days of this somewhat whacky summer when I met this couple at Whidbey Island. It was hardly work - strolling up and down the beach in front of Bethany's childhood home, they were totally game for having a good time - jumped in the water and even ducked into a fort some kids had made. She's got that wonderful Audrey Hepburn look - don't you think?? Thanks for a great afternoon you guys!!<div align="center"><br /><img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RsvaP9IyeuI/AAAAAAAAADM/00ypMcldriM/s1600/0114.jpg" width="550"><br /><img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RsvaWdIyevI/AAAAAAAAADU/4LkTdJJUQdw/s1600/0045.jpg" width="550"><br /><img src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RsvaANIyetI/AAAAAAAAADE/fXO-GmvNN24/s1600/0083.jpg" width="550"><br /><img src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RsvZyNIyesI/AAAAAAAAAC8/06547UVpmvM/s1600/0102.jpg" width="550"><br /><img src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RsvZrNIyerI/AAAAAAAAAC0/bwupeMVFvbM/s1600/0069.jpg" width="550"><br /><img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RsvZcdIyeqI/AAAAAAAAACs/KtitsliUrNw/s1600/0036.jpg" width="550"><br /><img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/RsvYwdIyemI/AAAAAAAAACM/Ls_lfrHQxpM/s1600/0071.jpg" width="890"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-7435625891709082761?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535865665051377548.post-67144410130925341562007-07-29T16:20:00.001-07:002007-10-21T10:08:31.495-07:00<span style="font-size:180%;">July 7, 2007</span><br />The most auspicious day of all - and I was lucky enough to share it with two of the most beautiful people.....Keith and Lindsay. They were wed at the idyllic <a href="http://christinas.net/">Green Dolphin Farm</a> on Orcas Island - here's a few images from the farm, run and catered by the amazing Christina.<br /><br />I thought my 7/7/07/ wedding would be the perfect choice to kick off my new blog - something I have been meaning to do (wow, that "meaning to do " list sure is long these days...!!), and was first inspired by my groovy girlfriend <a href="http://aspieadventure.blogspot.com/">Laurie</a> who whoops me at this blogging thing, then by the insanely talented photographer<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span><a href="http://www.michelemwaite.com/">Michele Waite</a>, and finally by my very cool son <a href="http://seldomskate.blogspot.com/">Patrick </a>who has sat by my side for the past two hours helping me do this while creating his own new blog at the same time.<br /><div align="center"><br /><img src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/Rq0rtdzXtWI/AAAAAAAAAAU/jybAia5hhi4/s1600/0066.jpg"><br /><img src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/Rq0smdzXtXI/AAAAAAAAAAc/s-2AdgOJOPU/s1600/0176.jpg"><br /><img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/Rq0smtzXtYI/AAAAAAAAAAk/njHssgix88k/s1600/0178.jpg"><br /><img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/Rq0tMtzXtdI/AAAAAAAAABM/lUvp5FKojS8/s1600/0573.jpg"><br /><img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/Rq0smtzXtZI/AAAAAAAAAAs/6Wh4O7b8kJg/s1600/0316.jpg"><br /><img src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/Rq0sm9zXtaI/AAAAAAAAAA0/vuYGzC55TeU/s1600/0387.jpg"><br /><img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/Rq0snNzXtbI/AAAAAAAAAA8/YZ_9y7hQ_8o/s1600/0505.jpg"><br /><img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_KQPbep3_SRs/Rq0tMtzXtcI/AAAAAAAAABE/8dysbwERvgU/s1600/0522.jpg"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4535865665051377548-6714441013092534156?l=suzannefogarty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Fogartyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179892721295906637noreply@blogger.com1
