Family Time

2011-06-30T05:12:00.000-07:00

Photographing this family was a ton of fun. They all gathered in town for the baby's baptism at church and thought it would be a great oppertunity to capture some family photos. The kids were awesome and the photos turned out nice too!

Happy Easter

2011-05-18T15:57:00.001-07:00

A fun session at the Botanical Gardens right before Easter. Recognize these cuties? Enjoy the Easter card (straight from share a square at ILP); designed to make you smile!

Happy Easter - Round Two!

2011-05-18T15:57:00.000-07:00

Have you ever seen such beautiful red hair? And TIMES TWO! These girls were a blast to photograph and love their outfits too! Followed by a short "princess session" complete with tutus, beads, and bags.

Cake Smash

2011-05-10T05:12:00.000-07:00

This little girl was a cutie! I met the little one and her mom for the first time right before the session. They have the cutest house and are the sweetest family. I had a blast with them and enjoyed working with the photos. Happy Birthday!

Cute Cousins!

Sample Photo Collages

2010-05-10T17:37:00.000-07:00

Just sharing a few "collages" I put together. Let me know if you are interested in one after your photo session. They are fun to make and a great way to display multiple photos in one frame...with or without a mat!

Baby Girl

2010-03-19T16:04:00.000-07:00

This little beauty is 3 months old in these photos. Captured a few several weeks ago on a Friday evening, the same Friday that is snowed 6 inches here actually. Not many people can say they were taking pictures while the snow was falling :-) Hope you enjoy!

Sleepy Baby Girl

2010-03-11T19:13:00.001-08:00

Still learning about newborn photos and indoor lights. Here are a few from a 4 week old before Christmas, hope you enjoy these little fingers, cute toes, and sleepy eyes as much as I do. The best part is I will get to take photos of her again with her big sister in a few months.

Christmas Cards

2010-01-05T12:23:00.000-08:00

I decided to try my hand at printing Christmas cards this year, and I loved it! I just did card prints for the family this time around and used pieces of other cards from a photography forum called ILP. The cards were designed by photographers there and I "tweaked" just a bit to my liking before adding photo files. I think I will try to offer these for Christmas sessions next year and see what people think. It has been fun creating them and piecing them together with photos. They can either be printed in a 4X6 or 5X7 size. I tried both this year and the results were great :-)

Twins

2010-01-05T12:15:00.000-08:00

Two are twice the fun, right? Well, these two were and now we have twice as many pictures. It was great to capture some candid expressions and watch them interact with each other...and believe it or not....I even got a few photos of those interactions. Hope these make you smile as much as these kids made me smile.

Sweet Sisters

2010-01-05T12:11:00.000-08:00

Just a few from another indoor session right before Christmas. These girls are gorgeous and have lots of personality to share. Their mom is a great friend of mine so it is always fun to bring out the props and see what poses we can get :-)

Santa Came Early...

2009-12-26T07:47:00.000-08:00

....to deliver this cute puppy for Christmas. I was excited when they told me they brought the dog along for some family photos! The kids were great and it was cute to see how excited they were when it was time to take some photos with their new furry friend. We even had time to do an outfit change during the session.

Sunset Photo

2009-12-26T07:39:00.000-08:00

This session was the last of three, so we ended right at 5:00 at Sunset Park and where able to get some great sunset photos! The kids were a lot of fun to work with and the weather was great for these photos.

Anyone Need A Model or Two or Three?

2009-12-17T15:11:00.001-08:00

So I am pretty sure any of these kids could get a contract modeling, don't you think? They are such beautiful kids full of fun personality and it really shows in the photos. It was great to photograph the whole family for a while too.

New Baby Brother

2009-12-17T15:05:00.001-08:00

Most of this session was done inside because of the chilly wind and the new little brother! We had fun taking photos on the bed in their guest room and the little one did great before falling fast asleep in his PJs under the Christmas tree. I love the smiles on the girl too as they show so much personality...her smile just lights up the whole room.

Change of Plans

2009-12-17T14:50:00.000-08:00

This is the third time I have photographed this beautiful family, so I was excited when the mom responded to my email again :-) We decided on River Front Park for a location as there are huge red doors at both ends of an old hydro building and some neat metal railings there for backgrounds. The family arrived and we walked down to the building only to see police officers and yellow time with "crime scene" all around the building. Who would have guessed we may have encountered that on a photo day? Needless to say, we had to change plans quick and use a grassy loan and old schoolhouse nearby for the photos. The kids did great and we ended up with some awesome pictures and a funny story to tell as well.

Fun Family Session

2009-12-09T17:12:00.000-08:00

I have been photographing the little one here since he was about 6 months old! Believe me..he has grown up a lot. This was my first chance to photograph the whole family though and it was great. I loved the colors the mom chose pink, blue, and brown are great! We even had a chance to snap a few of the little one in his Christmas outfit at the end.

Check out these outfits!

2009-12-09T17:03:00.000-08:00

This is the second year I have photographed these kids and I just love their mom's sense of style. We did a quick clothing change to capture some pictures for the whole year. I decided that window seals are great places for kids because it frames them nicely in the photo and it keeps them somewhat contained....until they realize how much fun it is to job down of course :-) Enjoy these photos because I enjoy photographing these two kids!

Sisters

2009-12-09T16:54:00.000-08:00

It was a little chilly on this morning for photos, but these girls were tough! They loved the farm we used for the photos and the horses were a big hit. They are actually looking at the horses in the photo where they are standing on the fence. I think the last one would make a great card cover for all occasions.

Beautiful Blue Eyes

2009-12-09T16:44:00.000-08:00

Here's a few from a session with a little girl with amazing eyes. Can you believe she is only 2? She was great to photograph and made it fun for me to capture various expressions.

Back to SC

2009-12-07T18:08:00.000-08:00

Let the Christmas photo sessions begin! For the last two weeks, I have had a great deal of fun photographing kids and families before the holiday season. I love to see all the great outfits the little ones arrive in for the session. We did have a few cold days to battle, but all the kids have been troopers and red noses have been few and fair between. Here are a few from Steven's side of the family. They were one of my first sessions while back in SC.

Family Fun

2009-12-07T17:57:00.000-08:00

Of course I took some photos of my sister and her beautiful family at our farm in Conetoe. I had a lot of fun choosing clothes for them and coordinating the colors, don't they blend nicely?? Here are just a few I thought I would share.

Little Baby Girl

2009-12-07T17:47:00.001-08:00

While at home, I took a few photos of a friend's baby girl. I am still learning a lot about newborn photography, but ended up with a few I love. The baby was very laid back as well and easy to work with, especially with heaters close by to keep her warm.

My Little Niece

2009-11-20T17:45:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I met my niece for the first time. Well, I am sure you can guess what I was doing while her brother was taking a nap on Day 1 :-) Taking pictures of course and here are a few photos I took of her....I am pretty sure all we agree she is a beautiful baby with a ton of hair. Can you believe she is only 5 months old? Had a great time capturing these and hope you enjoy!

Session Two of This Sunday

2009-11-20T17:34:00.001-08:00

Okay...so Steven and I keep these kids frequently at their house and they are FULL of personality. I had a great time photographing them and loved the colors mom chose or outfits. It is fun to capture their expressions outside with their siblings.

A Day at the Orchard

2009-11-20T17:16:00.000-08:00

I was really busy on this sunny Sunday as I had three photo sessions to check off the list. All went well and the kids were great! Check out these great colors for clothing and cute kids!

Photo Fun with Horses

2009-11-06T16:21:00.001-08:00

What a pleasure to photography my favorite family and their furry friends! We grabbed the horses, brushed off their dirt, had the kids change into clean shirts, and utilized the little bit of light left in the edge of the pasture. The session was fun and full of laughs as the horses milled around and the kids tried to keep from laughing too hard.

Fall Is Here

2009-11-04T16:24:00.000-08:00

Colors are changing and all the local kids need pictures :-) This Sunday was a beautiful day after a whole week of rain making the colors stand out! These blue eyed kids were cooperative and easy going, which always makes for a great session.

The Whole Family is Here

2009-11-04T15:53:00.000-08:00

What great fun to get this whole family together for some photos on their family property. The session was great even though I was challenged by the low light. Great variety in the pictures and the family picked out such bright colors; makes me smile when I arrive and see colors everywhere.

Fast Family Session

2009-11-04T15:37:00.000-08:00

What a pleasure to snap a few photos for this family before the oldest boys headed back to college. Parents are caretakers at the river resort, so location was great and added to the meaning of these photos.

Family Time

2009-11-04T14:35:00.000-08:00

This family was a joy to work with and great fun to capture in photos. They showed up in great colors for the location, so bright and cheerful! I think I took pictures for almost 2 hours and it went by so fast. We really maximized this location and the background options present.

Sister Session at Buckner Orchard

2009-11-03T18:52:00.000-08:00

Storm clouds were developing as I biked to this family's home one weekday afternoon. The kids got ready quick and we headed to the orchard for the session. Had to get a little silly to get some good expressions from the girls. The session was fun and the girls ended up having a great time with awesome photos to document the end of a family adventure in Stehekin.
