Who's in charge around here, anyway?

My name is Karen Schmautz and I live in beautiful El Dorado County of Northern California.  I am a photographer specializing in weddings, portraits and events. 

We interrupt this program for an important announcement…

Yes, today is my husband’s birthday.  Here is a brief primer on him.

He’s very handy and fixes things around the house.

He’s athletic, but never shows off.

He doesn’t mind helping me out with my career, and loves a good adventure.

He doesn’t mind posing for me (I won third prize at the county fair with this one).  He is rather Cary Grantish, isn’t he?

He’s an excellent cook.  Here’s a bit of trivia…he’s interning at a local fine dining restaurant.  He wants to be a chef when he grows up.

And, here is my fabu husband making leaf angels in Vermont.  One of the things I love about him is his playfulness.  Although, I think he misses Minnesota, where he was raised.  You can take the man out of Minnesota, but you can’t take the Minnesota out of the man.

Happy, happy birthday.

(I’m taking a break from the slow moving narrative on Vermont, for which I promise to return.)
