Spring in the Garden
As promised, more pictures from "My Secret Garden" before the majority of the work begins for the season. Margi is an organic gardener, so is a big proponent of compost and returning things to the earth.
In one area are these gourds - leftovers from seasons prior that she wasn't able to use for rattles and other fun things. Now they here, enjoying the sun among the leaves, ready to help keep the weeds down for next season.

My Secret Garden...
I've just started working with a new client - My Secret Garden.
Margi broke ground on the 2009 season of her market garden this week, and has big plans. She's on the bench in Boise - near Franklin and Orchard, and will be offering many new things this season.
I'll be following her progress throughout this season, and providing sneak peeks into the garden and it's beautiful owner as they grow.
So,these - the first peeks of the season:

Are Professional Business Portraits Important?
 Gestures Photography is a contemporary natural-light portrait and photographic art studio in Boise, ID.Is it important to have professional business portraits?When times are tough, people naturally tend to turn inward, to stick closer to home and return to the people they know and trust. For business professionals, that means that your relationship with your clients is more important than ever. It's important that you establish and maintain the relationship, so when your clients are looking for your service, they naturally look to you - their trusted partner. One of the best ways to maintain that personal professional relationship is with professional business portraits on your correspondence - on your website, on your business card, on your newsletters and notes. People want to know who they're doing business with, and your business portraits say you're a true professional, and a face they can trust. Your professional portraits will help you gain trust from clients and prospects, increase your sales with a professional image, and make a great first impression that lasts a lifetime. Our business portrait sitting fee is $150, which includes travel to a location we decide on together and about 45 minutes of shooting time, time and talent for touch-up and finishing of each final portrait, and full license to one high-resolution image which will be delivered in all appropriate file formats. Gestures Photography is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau, and we offer a satisfaction guarantee. If you're not satisfied with your final portraits, we'll either re-shoot or refund your sitting fee. Period. You can find more about the studio on our website: www.GesturesPhoto.com, or you can e-mail me directly at marnie@gesturesphoto.com    |

Memories of Summer
Boise has been under an inversion for several days and we've not seen the sun in over a week. As an antidote to the fog and gray skies, I'm posting some of the "sunshine-iest" pictures in my portfolio - from the Sunflowers and Tractors series.
Happy January, everyone!

2009 Calendars Available!
I know, it's a little late, but the 2009 calendars are ready! I've designed two this year - the Beauty of Nature features works showcasing the natural environment that is the Northwest US - Idaho and Montana, to be specific.
The second is the first in a series featuring works from the Cars in the Field series, and showcases classic/vintage/old cars in the environments they now call home.
Calendars are printed on high quality, high density paper that’s easy to write on, and come bound and ready for hanging on your wall. Each page is a matte coated print. It has a hanger and white wire binding, are satin-coated prints on high quality art paper, and sized 11.69" x 16.54".

1950 Cadillac Sedan
The latest addition to the Cars in the Field series - a 1950 Cadillac 4-door sedan. One interesting note about this car - the fuel door is under a flip-up hatch behind the left-rear tail light. You can see the button to release the latc in picture #3. Very intersting!

Operation: Love Reunited
As part of my involvement with Operation:Love Reunited, I donate my time to deployed or deploying soldiers and their families so they have nice family portraits during the deployment.
J is returning to complete his training, then he's headed to Korea for his first overseas deployment. He and his family got together in downtown Boise the day before his return to duty.
It's such an honor for me to be able to say "thank you" in this small way to the soldiers for all they do for us, and to their families for their support of their soldiers.
Thank you, J, for your service.

1948 Buick Super Convertible
Yet another in the Cars in the Field series - a 1948 Buick Super Convertible.
The current owner, "J", was fortunate to meet the original owner after his father bought it from a junkyard. The original owner heard J's father talking in a truck stop about the "new" car he just bought, and struck up a conversation. He then joined J's father in a short trip to see the car, and confirmed it was the one he had purchased new.
The story went that shortly after he and his wife purchased it in 1948, their marriage hit a rough spot and they divorced. She was awarded the car in the divorce settlement, so when he delivered it to her to take possession, he left it running in her driveway - with a brick on the accelerator. The engine threw a rod and was sent to the junkyard shortly thereafter, where it lived until J's father purchased it as a project car.
The car is now back on stage as a project car. Recently moved into this cozy shop where it'll get a complete restoration, with ultimate plans of taking J on a cross-country road trip to see the sights of America.

More Cars in the Field
Another addition to the Cars in the Field series - this one a parts car for a 1948 Buick Super. It was towed to this spot in the field more than 25 years ago after having been hit by a train.
