I Love Fair Photos

We took our annual trip to the Orange County Fair last week.
It was the best trip yet.
Pig races, a crash-up derby and about 5 pounds of french fries were just part of the fun.
But the best part, of course, was the photo booth session.
Go over to Lilly and the Brothers to see how they came out.



Besides the photo booth, I took heaps of pictures.
There are just so many great things to take pictures of at the fair.
I am especially in love with all the lights.
Here are a few of my favorites.














I took these letter Es with the intention of blowing up one of the photos and hanging it in our house.
(Our last name starts with E)
They are all a bit different.
Which one do you like best?








While we were walking around the fair, I thought how much fun it would be to do a family photo shoot there.
For one thing, we all love the fair.  (even Aaron loves it now--I've converted him)
And for another, there are just so many great photo opportunities.
Well, someone beat me to the idea.
My friend, Kristin, posted an engagement photo shoot she did at the OC fair.
Go look at it.
Amazing.
Kristin's work blows me away.
Every single time she posts a new session, I alternate between insane admiration and jealousy.
She's so good.
Go spend some time at her site and if you are in need of an amazing photographer, choose her.


In other news, I'm still on the crazy diet and I have a new recipe to share with you: Asian inspired rice noodle salad.  
Necessity is the mother of invention and I invented a great salad!
Can't wait to share it with you.
Love from,
Greta

Greta,
Your photos are spectacular. Love them. I went and visited your friend's site. She is very talented and so creative. You'll have to keep us posted on which "E" you choose.

As far as the "e" goes- my vote is the last one.
