Here’s a few more details from Salvation Mountain I’ve been meaning to post. In case you didn’t know the story of this Leonard Knight, he has worked his whole life to paint this mountain about God’s love. And he lives in a house without electricity or running water! That’s hardcore! You can read more about it here.

We got to meet Leonard after a film crew was done making a video of him. He was a very nice man with the best aged face. The kind of face that you know has been through a lot and has so much character. He gave us a DVD about the mountain and we asked him if we could donate a few bucks for the paint. He said “I only want people to donate if it comes from the heart.” Very cool.

I love taking photos of other people’s art.

The view from the top of the mountain.

The paint cans were everywhere as it’s a never-ending project.

We stumbled across Salvation Mountain on the internet and it looked like a really cool place to do a shoot. So when we met Kristen and Brandon we knew it would be perfect for them. Their love for God is central to their relationship and this place reflects that very well!

It was two hours BOTH ways but we think it was WELL worth the trip.

Thanks Kristen and Brandon for taking the long drive with us and being up for anything!

We had so much fun shooting Wendy and Scott last Thursday. They are super fun! I know Wendy is DYING to see these so here goes:

I heart this picture!

Awesome location number two in a beautiful flower field. They are ALL my favorites! And we kept switching cameras so I don’t know who took what but I take credit for all of them! Haha. Just kidding, Jeremy!

Before we left San Francisco, we stopped to meet with a really sweet couple (hi guys!) and we took some pictures of random things.

I was so sad that I didn’t have enough time to take more photos of swirlies!

The Ferry.

A little art fair:

I love fire hydrants. I always take photos of cool-looking ones.

Jeremy tried to take a bad photo of me but it came out good!

On the LONG way home on the 1 Freeway.

Right by the Hurst Castle, there’s this spot to view Elephant Seals, not to be confused with regular seals.

They make the funniest sounds!

I hope this one is just sleeping!

Here’s some more fun stuff from San Fran. It was a really quick trip so we didn’t take a ton. We were mostly traveling or shooting the engagement session or sleeping!

We left late Thursday night and drove for about 45 minutes before we realized we forgot our albums! (Kind of important when you’re meeting with potential clients). So we had to turn around. We ended up staying the night at this little motel in the middle of nowhere. I have to look up the receipt to see what town, hold on…. it’s “Apricot” or “Firebaugh”. I don’t know….

Jeremy can never take a normal picture with me!! Sigh.

He’s a crazy!

This one makes me laugh out loud!

And Moi. Driving is serious business.

McDonald’s has the BEST regular coffee. It’s WAY better than Starbuckscrapola.

Like this trash can.

I heart coffee!

Jeremy hearts.. uh.. greenery, yeah that’s it!

What? Don’t you like to stand by the dumpsters after breakfast?

Lots of dead bugs, the bridge, and San Fran here we come!

Jeremy’s ginnie pig before the shoot. I’m on a straight-forward-look kick.

Come back tomorrow for more adventures in “On the way HOME from San Francisco!”
