wednesday's.whimsy : 1000.comments!

hello there & a most happy wednesday to you! today's
wednesday's whimsy will be quite simple, short & sweet... because it occurred to me that
this week i had reached one of my many goals ---
1,000 comments on my little ol' blog here!!!

yahooooooooooowee!!!
comments from you & my admitted blog-stalkers (oh, how i *heart* you guys!)
really do make my day... it is not a joke! it is like a most special present that greets me with nothing but sunshine in my inbox. my eyes get a little brighter & my mouth curls up into a ball of smiles ---
yes, not just one smile
but a burst of smiles!

all that from a comment left from
you... thank you!
so today, on this hot, hot wednesday, i just wanted to take a moment to thank YOU all for your support, your encouragement & your thoughtfulness with your comments that i love oh
SO much!
.....& the best part is that Foster Cryer was my lucky 1,000th commenter.... so Foster, i will be tracking you down & sending you a little something-something in my thanks, appreciation & gratitude!
thanks again everyone.

here's to another 1,000!
with love & happiness,
ksen
...and as for the pic below, it was also taken on my visit to Serbia last year. i have a
mild fascination with doors, locks, door handles, windows....etc.

& i LOVE this photograph because of its simplicity & vibrance, as well as the thought to what is behind the door! i deemed it appropriate for this post because somehow i have a feeling that this wonderfully withered door must have
at least 1000 cracks in it... which in my opinion makes it all the more glorious!

trish.&.steve

i am back in town after a wonderful wedding we shot this past weekend up north at A-ga-ming & busy working away at the million-and-one things on my never ending to-do list!! i cannot THANK everyone enough for their great patience as i work away at their fine art images!
i truly appreciate it more than my words could even begin to express.
so with that said,
yes i have tons more to blog about and Trish & Steve were next on the blogging list! these two are the awesomest (
yes, that is a word...
my word!

). seriously... they are
in love, make each other laugh all the time & every time i see them, they are all smiles.

i LOVE, love that about them! we had a blast at their esession & i am so happy with all the different types of images we were able to capture! below are some of my faves, along with a slideshow at the end of the post with even more images to check out!
Trish & Steve -- i

Steve & Trish... aren't they gorgeous?!





their body language screams "i adore you!" :
so, these two like to have a good time... & as i was taking this photo, Steve made this awesome goofy face. right after it was taken, Trish asked him if he did something funny. i can't remember exactly what he answered, but i do remember Trish saying she will find out in the proofs! well, i thought it was too fun & cute, so why not find out now!!

remember that thing about how they like to have fun?! just a fun moment

:
one of my top faves from the day :
i love how dreamy this image is :
another top favorite. lots of rainbows happen to come up in our session that day & this one just landed perfectly in the photograph :
love, love, love :
seriously, are they the cutest or what?!
ah yes.

i just adore this series below. i think it gives you a pretty good idea of how fun-loving these two really are :
the best part of the image below (although i do have to admit, Trish & Steve are mighty good jumpers!!!!) is the little girl in the far left of the photo...
sometimes, i think the expression right after the jump is the best part!

i just looooooove the feeling in this one :
yummy! another top fave from the session :
this door was too cool to pass up :
we had to have a little fun by this random "sculpture" wording on the brick :
the perfect ending to the perfect esession :

& for fun, i leave you with the image below. it is one that i took on my brief visit to Serbia last year (i still have yet to blog about that one day here!). i just love the way that shadows can play such a neat part in our daily adventures if we choose to pay attention to them
