Jessica and I spent the 4th of July three-day weekend in Central Point Oregon visiting her family. This is a little slide show of Jessica, her sister Heidi, and two Nieces, Jazmin and Makena fooling around in the pool. You can’t tell from this little slide show, but the floatie thingie suffered an amputation before they were through. Yep, that one is trashed! Next!…

Last Thursday we made it to Redding’s Marketfest which happens during the Summer months each Thursday evening. MarketFest is put on by Viva Downtown
and is the place to be in Redding on Thursdays after work.
Our lovely friend Lori Raderschadt was visiting from Sacramento, so she joined us for the evening.
Here’s Jessica (L) and Lori (R) in front of the Enjoy Magazine booth (no it wasn’t snowing, that’s the mist from the several misters keeping the crowd cool).
Music for the event was provided by Majical. Even in this heat, Reddingites were getting jiggy wit it.
…and just a dab of fashion too!
Some people just light up in front of the camera…
Here are Adam Mankoski (L) and Troy Hawkins (R) of HawkMan Studios.
Those misters at library Park are more of a necessity than a luxury. See you next Thursday! Chris and Jessica.

This month we’re honored to have provided both covers for Redding’s Enjoy Magazine.
The front is of Whiskeytown Lake (Redding’s little secret), shot during the Regatta. Meet Jennifer and Garrick from Klamath Falls, Oregon.
and the back is of Keri Barnes of Shasta Family Chiropractic.
We have a lot of fun with these little assignments, and Keri was a joy to work with. Thanks Keri!
Chris and Jessica.

So the photography studio half is up and running and the art gallery half is proceeding nicely. And, since we’ve committed to a July 25th grand opening, the gallery WILL be done by then! Anyway, we did something fun whilst working on the interior. Pretty much the whole time we were remodeling we had a tripod-mounted Canon 40d in awake mode fitted with a 15mm f/2.8 fisheye, PWII, and PW motor drive cable. This set-up was remotely fired by using another PWII that one of us carried around in a pocket. It was a little bit of trouble remembering to fire off a shot once in a while, but in the end, it made a very fun video clip that showed the progression. We’ll be putting together a similar one for the art gallery and that’ll come later. But for now, check this out!

Yeah, we’re pretty darn pleased that THAT is done!
And, we want you to come see us! Sooooooo….
Starting July 7th join us for our month-long Grand Opening celebration special… Out The Door In 20!
This is the ultimate portrait session for the person on the go. It includes refreshments, music, makeup, a private studio session, and a heck of a lot of fun!
We plan on staying open every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 5:30 – 8:30 during the month of July for these “Out The Door In 20″ portrait sessions. So here’s the deal:
$20 for one person, $30 for two, $15 per person thereafter.
No need for an appointment, just drop in! Yes, just drop in!
You’ll meet Allison of Allison Elliot Makeup, Jillion of J.Dillon Jewelry, and of course yours truly.
Just how long has it been since you’ve had your portrait taken?

So I was spotted walking into the Pablo Cruise concert (during the Shasta County Fair) carrying a Canon 40d with a 70-200 f/2.8 and 1.4 extender attached. The thing is over a foot long. So, in rapid succession, a female security guard, then a security supervisor, then the Pablo Cruise concert manager himself asked me if I had a smaller lens I could use. Of course I didn’t, and never imagined that photography on public property would be a problem. Besides, a cell phone near the front could take a better photo than what I could do from where I was sitting. Anyway, I’ll avoid this kind of confrontation next time by hiding my camera under my trench coat. I really enjoyed the concert though. Pablo Cruise has always been a favorite of mine.

Ok, I have to share this photo which will only be interesting to the guys in the crowd (sorry ladies). This low-boy permit load is 203 feet long, has 90(yes ninety) tires, and took five days to get from Los Angeles to Redding. This permit load was only allowed to travel at night and included two pilot cars and four CHP cruisers (two in front clearing the way and two bringing up the rear). All this to haul the new REU turbine generator for unit No. 6 currently under construction at Redding Power. I thought it was an amazing sight. The crane and trucking crew is left of center and management is way to the right, in the uh, shade (it was hot that day).
This photo is made up of four separate images taken with a Canon 40d with 24-70 f/2.8L and stitched together in photoshop CS3.

Ta da! The precious miracle we’ve been waiting for is here at last!
Charli Ryhan Hermsmeyer, daughter of Joshua and Candace Hermsmeyer and brother of Jackson Noah Hermsmeyer of Santa Rosa California. Born into this world June 11, 2009 at 7 1/2 pounds, 21 inches in length, and a fabulous set of lungs.
And, as the grandpa, I can say that this shot is not of one, but two of Gods miracles.
My first conversation with Charli.
Charli showing Josh her nuzzling expertise.
…and four perfect feet.
Congratulations Josh and Candace! We love you!
Dad and Jess.

We’ve put together a very fun photo shoot package we call “Sweet 16″. So, if you’re coming up on 16, or you’re still 16, have a look. If you’re not 16 any more, have a look anyway. They’re like mini fashion shoots that include makeovers and clothing changes. Here are a few shots of our latest:
Meet 16 year old Olivia. She was great in front of the camera!
Olivia’s best buds Kelsey, and Nadine. Friends are always welcome at the Sweet 16 photo shoots.
And, big sisters are welcome too. Here’s Olivia’s big sister Ashley.

During last Saturday’s ArtHop we were lured to the Fashion Revival event going on pretty much at the front door of our studio. Here are a few shots of the event.
