McCall Lake Panoramic

Stunning... simply majestic... and pure perfection

This lake is amazing! My husband asked me to capture this photo for some of our long lost family in a country called Tunisia... (You know who you are and we miss you sooooooooo much!) This was where you stood once overlooking the lake before you rode snowmobiles in the mountains! :D

Anyways this photo took me hours to create. I ran across many problems with photostitching in Adobe. As easy as it sounds it really was not that easy. I didn't use a tripod which was my first mistake! And many others also but I think in the end... it might have been worth the 2 hour headache!

I showed my husband my final edit and this is what I wanted him to say "Oh my gosh hunny you are so talented and so amazing and how on earth did you create such a beautiful piece of art."

But what he really said was "It is much better in person, the mountains look small and the water is sloping to the right!" LOL! :D Gotta love the honesty

McCall Family Trip - Part 3

The last day of our trip was mostly just the drive home but we stopped a few times and took a couple photos of the scenery and here are a few of the pictures I captured. McCall is gorgeous! The lake is beautiful and the drive home is just as spectacular!

But before we do scenery shots... here is a picture of all the kids clonked out in the hotel bed. They were so tired they fell asleep in there swimsuits! It was a busy few days for them.



Here is the view of the lake early in the morning


I love the sunflares! It always reminds me of heaven


I told my husband he had to be in at least one photo so that people know that he exists. He is always working that I rarely get a photo of him


Some different angles of the lake.




These photos were taken through the window driving 65miles per hour down the highway... they actually turned out pretty good!


This is of a Catholic Church up in the Cascade Hills. It is so gorgeous


This was my husbands favorite picture


I actually stopped along the highway and got out of the vehicle to take a picture of this cow and I spoke to him to get him to look up! I wonder what passerby's were thinking! LOL


This old barn is a trademark in Cascade Idaho. It has been in calendars because of the unique look. It started falling down almost 10 years ago but is still holding on. The back end is fallen but the front end is still hanging on. It will be sad to see it go... and yes... we stopped again to get a photo of this. It was always on my priority list.






I have so much more to post. Jake and I celebrated our birthday this week. I have some pictures of the twins to post! Oh I love them! I may not get to them right away as I have 4 photo sessions this weekend! Can you believe that. It was because I was out of town last week and out of town next week so I have to get them all done this week.... Going to be hectic but so worth it! Hope everyone is doing great! I also am excited cause I just ordered a 2.8 11-16mm lens for my camera bag. It got rave reviews and can't wait to share some amazing panoramics with it in the future! I have two urban engagement shoots this weekend so I think this lens will be spectacular to use to get some fun and creative shots! :D
