Fine Art Friday - Baby birdies

These sweet little babies were born just outside my living room window.  It was amazing how fast they went from eggs to gone.  The whole process seemed to take only about 2 1/2 weeks.  The miracle of life is sweet to behold from the smallest to the biggest creatures.

Please click on the image above to take you to the Fine Art gallery.  Enjoy!

The animal gallery will last one more week while we are off to the Caribbean!  I'm thinking March will have a beachy theme.  Hmmmm, doesn't that sound divine after this colder then average winter?  

Fine Art Friday - Dragonfly moment

February Theme - Animals

I've been a huge fan of dragonfly's for a long time.  If I ever got a tattoo it would be of a dragonfly.  I won't get one, but that's how much I like dragonflies.  They are just so interesting with their huge eyes and most have the coolest iridescent colors.

This little beauty was kind enough to stop for a moment.  

Please click on the photo to be taken to the new shopping cart.  You can check out all of the images available this month and order your prints directly form the site with the option to pay by credit card {through PayPal}, PayPal or check.   If you would like a framed print, please contact me directly for the price.  

Fine Art Friday - A new way

Welcome to Fine Art Friday! It's so great to have you here. We are going to do things a little differently from now on. With the relaunch of our business as Lifelong Impressions we also have a new shopping cart. The old one had a Ton of images available which I feel was a bit overwhelming for most people to look through. We are now going to feature a specific group of fine art images for an entire month. Don't worry if there is an image you really want, but cannot get right now. I will still have it for you to buy at any time if you call or email me to ask for it.

My husband and several family members serve our country while doing their jobs. I would like to offer a discount of 12% on all of our products. The service jobs that qualify for this discount are police officers, fire fighters, nurses {including aids}, teachers & military. Sheesh, did I leave anyone out! Spread the word! Please email or call me for your discount code.

For the rest of January we are featuring old cars. I love the textures, colors and nostalgia associated with old vehicles. This side panel view with it's shinny handle and little bits of weeds at the bottom really appeals to me. Click on the picture to be taken to the gallery and shopping cart.

Fine Art Friday - Transport Me

I saw this cool bike and had to get a picture of it. There's nothing like tooling around a big historic city on an old school bike. It brings to mind the enjoyment of living and being a part of something bigger.

Fine Art Friday - Stare Cows Stare

As I was snapping a few pictures of these cows they turned to me one by one. Once they all had turned and were staring me down I got a little nervous... It was a surreal and funny experience. Even with a fence I turned tail & got out of there!

Fine Art Friday - Fall Wildflower Flower

I love all the branches in the background in various degrees of blurriness. It really makes the flower have a more interesting space to showcase it. Love it. This shot has a warm feel that is what Fall is all about.

Fine Art Friday - Purple beauty

Yesterday I mentioned the part trip with the family last October. One of my very favorite all time photos came from their session last year. Maybe it's because it reminds me of a travel photographer capturing a kid jostling around him/her in a foreign land. Here is Mr. Funnyshypants




Last month I had a lot of time to take shots interesting to me while waiting for my sessions to arrive on location. The fascination with flowers continues. Oh really, it will never end. Just don't give me real ones. The photos are way cooler. I'm sure one of these days I'll convince all the other women in the world how cool it would be to get a fine art print from their honey of a flower instead of the actual flowers. It will last longer!

Fine Art Friday - Rain day flower

You know, I am not a girl who likes to get flowers, but I always have and will love pictures of flowers. Whenever they have water droplets on them my heart feels even more joy. Maybe it's because I love rainy days {unless a photo shoot gets rescheduled!} like most people love sunny days. There is just something so peaceful & lovely about a rainy day. I love strong and windy storms too. As long as the house is 'feeling' like it will hold up. bring on the crazy weather...

This flower is one of Poppy's flowers. In Australia they call a grandfather Poppy so Guy's dad is Poppy. He is both a baker and a gardener. They always have some flowers in their yard unless the yard is buried under snow. We had a great time on our last visit with them a few months ago. The mid summer cool rain during much of our stay really surprised all of us. We definitely didn't expect the low 70's with rain in Salt Lake City! Loved it! The day this shot was taken we spent some time both in the backyard during lunch then out front later in the afternoon just talking and playing with the kids. Good times.

Fine Art Friday - Dreamy flower

This is a picture I took several years ago which happened to survive the 'Hard Drive Crash of 2007'. I love it's general fuzziness with just the leading edge in focus. This photo spent a long time on my computer background. It is also a print I had on the fireplace mantle for several years. Hmmm, maybe I'll pull it back out! This one is available in both small, medium and large size today. As always, you can purchase it with or without the frame. You also have the option of getting it with or without the digital mat. Both examples are below.

I'd love to know if you would be interested in a video montage DVD viewable on a wide screen TV of your sitting set to music? I'm thinking of adding this product and was wondering what the interest would be. Please let me know!

Fine Art Friday - Seeing Stars

Today's print has the very popular star theme to it. I saw this great display of stars during a photo shoot this summer. I couldn't help myself, & just had to take a few shots. The rust & different textures are so interesting. Enjoy!

In other news. I'm so excited to have a real logo in the works! In all of my 18 years as a professional photographer I have only used our name in text to define the business. When Guy and I got together we changed the name to S & G Photography also using Life Long Impressions for our website & blog. The logo my fabulous designer is working on will incorporate both names to tie it all together. We really feel like the piece of artwork that he is working on will represent us, our brand & all aspects of our business. Our logo is behind two other projects so we'll most likely be launching all the new branding, website, blog design and packaging around the end of October! Woooo Hoooo! I can't wait! Do you have any guesses on what kind of art struck our fancy? It is one main 'object' for you to guess. If someone gets it right I just 'may' have something cool for you...

Fine Art Friday - Yummy summer days grass

Today's print is one most people who see it love. It isn't one I thought many people would like, but it garners some positive emotion from all who see it. When you hang this print up in your home people will definitely be complimenting you on it regularly. Enjoy!

This print is now available with the rest of our fine art prints here.

Fine Art Friday - Vintage Truck

Today's print is one of my current favorites. It's a fabulous old truck with some cool textures giving it a unique look. It is on sale in several sizes. If you are interested in any other vintage car prints they can be found here. A lady I met at the Millbrook Art Fair told me about this location. She described the site so vividly I KNEW it would be a place I looked for soon. Sure enough the whole place was just as she described it. The road is curvy with large trees covering it much of the way. All of a sudden when you come around a bend there are these fabulous old cars everywhere. The man who owns them has them all over his property. Some are tucked back in the trees, and some have trees growing through them! The oldest car I saw would have to be from the early 20's back when they had to crank them to get it started. I definitely want to make some time to visit this property again.

I hope you enjoy this print as much as I do!

This print is now available here along with our other fine art photography.

Fine Art Friday - Great Australian Tree

Fine Art Friday Print Sale
Today's fine art print sale is a tree Guy & I saw while in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. This tree has tons of character and visual interest. The coloring has a bit of todays popular 70's look to it. I can also add some cool modern textures to it if you would like. This can also be a warm black and white. Please say you would like the texture added and/or warm black & white in the comment section when you order.



I just decided to offer a second print! Yay! This one is from my native Arizona just outside of Sedona last year. I don't think I'll ever get tired of the very different beauty of my wild Arizona landscape. This edit is a very traditional one with bright crisp colors. Other edit options are available upon request.

These prints are now available here.
