Peter Pumpkinhead

 Last year Elisabeth and I decided to try the internet trend of pumpkin head pictures. It was so much fun that we decided to do it again this year, but this time with a friend.


These two crazies were so excited to carve their pumpkins, they forgot that their heads had to go in the BOTTOM of the pumpkin and cut the holes in the top. You can see where they cut the tops. At about 9:30 pm, liz came to me all in a panic wondering if super glue would get the tops back on.



They ended up using hot glue guns, paint and even skewers to fix their heads. It worked, but they had to hold their pumpkins up at all times, or else their own head would push the top back off the pumpkin!



Once again, Fort Langley made a fantastic place for the shoot, and we went before sunrise so that we'd capture the mist rising off the river. 





As you can see, we had a lot of fun.

Grade Twelve Transformation


Elisabeth has gotten into the habit of undergoing a transformation each fall. This year was no different. Hmn. We should probably have a before picture...


...ah yes, this will do:



Anyway, Liz has a masterplan which involves all the way to June. For back to school it involved mostly dark hair with blue tips. Once we'd got the hair perfect, of course we needed to capture it all on film. We went to Fort Langley, my favourite location, to see what we could do.




She's just so gosh darned cute! 


We only had 40 minutes to wander around and get pictures, but we made sure we went to Gasoline Alley to pretend we were in Europe and snapped these coffee shop pictures.
