Crush on Catching Up

So much has been happening around Skye Snyder Photography, Skosh, and our family and home that the blog and has been on the back burner. Let's do a quick catch up with some sneak peaks, contest winners, and some musical delights.


1) A behind the scenes video made by Sarah Rodriguez. You may remember her form this blog. Sarah captured the morning at the June Minis and made some seriously cute friends by pulling out a stash of bubbles from her car. I have half eaten cheerios and banana peels in my backseat. (The omitted advice from How to Win Friends and Influence People). I don't need Emily Post's Etiquette to know that a super big THANK YOU is in order to Miss Rodriguez for her assistance and talent!
Check out Sarah's characters page, Sarahsneak, on YouTube. Want to see skye snyder photography + videography = skosh? Visit our Vimeo page

2) We held a drawing for $25 skosh buck$ for those who commented on where they would go for a one-year Finding Yourself Retreat. Since, asking this question, I've been daydreaming of where and what I would do. Now, I've got visions of my family traveling to slower paced places while riding on the backs of dolphins. I think there is a book for that too...Island of the Blue Dolphin? 3 out of 3 mentioned books that I've never read. I've discussed my childhood introduction to my lifelong love affair with National Geographic before. Once again, I must mention the yellow papered dream maker. When I was a child, Africa and her people seemed just the right place for a photojournalist. With my Disc camera in hand, I held onto that dream job with my 8 year old hands. I've never made it to Africa....not yet.
I like Olga's idea. I'll add the eastern/southern hemisphere into my year long travels. $25 for Olga and for the random drawing.....drum roll...shake shake shake ........Crystal. Your name was chosen! Thanks for playing everyone! And let's do another. What is the thing that the names are sitting on and what do I use it for(besides a holder for my drawings)? Answer on our Facebook Wall or here in the comments. If you answer in both places your name will be entered twice. $25 skosh buck$ up for grabs. Will be chosen on Wednesday. Good Luck.
 (Remember, the buck$ are tallied on our Facebook page under the Notes tab on the left hand side bar)
 Because I think these songs are lovely and it would be a shame to not share:
BEBEL GILBERTO
BUSTER BLUE
Another BIG THANK YOU to everyone for being so patient as we get back on track here at Skye Snyder Photography and Skosh. :) And THANKS for kickin' around our pages and playing in our games. Emily Post would like that too.

Crush on June Mini { just a skosh }

On June 4th, we held our spring mini session. The minis are an extremely popular event for clients and students. The sessions are simply shorter, more focused and in one location that I have chosen for the day. The fabulous Sarah Rodriguez assisted and filmed video for me in the amazing Bartley Ranch Park. For a touch of Nevada culture, visit this historical preserve. 

We had a teacher, photographer, contest winners, and much loved previous families among the clients that day. Here is just a skosh. ( in case you were ever wondering...it's skosh with a long o. It's a scottish word meaning just a little bit. My Mum would always say "just a skosh" when you asked her if she would like this or that from the kitchen. And yes, it is a combo of skye + josh. As a working team...why not?)
Sarah with the Kempf girls - Little Natalie didn't agree with our plans for a family portrait that morning. Big sis, Vivian, tried to show her the ropes but it wasn't until Sarah showed the girls the video that Natalie decided perhaps this is fun. That middle shot sums up her suspicions. 
And then the glasses. What's not fun about those? Hollywood, here we come...
The tractors are a major attraction.
Bubbles trump portraits. Miss Vivian is ready for some poppin' action.


Val of Val Lemieux Photography - Thrilled that Val let me photograph her. It's cool to shoot photographers. It seems we all struggle with being in front of it, hence the taking our post behind the lens, so it takes a lot of goofing around to loosen us up.  Val was a great sport. Had us laughing and ended up getting  beautiful images...with big girl glasses.


 Kate Carter, teacher, photographer, and founder of World Class Perspectives with her wonderful, and completely opposite, twin boys, Jack + Dean. What is World Class Perspectives? An organization to help low-income students travel on special field trips to places they would never see otherwise, opening up their learning experience and perspective on the world. Yeah, pretty cool indeed!
