Sneak Peak for Holli!

I was gone for most of August on a roadtrip with my two kiddos! We started off taking two days to drive to the Sacramento area to see my sister and her family. We ALWAYS have a good time there, and my two nieces, ages 12 and 16 (at the time, 17 now!) were great with my kids. I was flattered that they wanted me to take Holli's senior pictures while I was there so I brought my "studio" with me so we could create some great indoor shots as well as some outside. Well, we just got back from our trip last Saturday after being gone for 3 1/2 weeks! I haven't been able to proof all the images yet but here is a bit of a sneak peek of what I have so far! I can't wait to show the rest!!!

Holli has an AMAZING smile as I'm sure you can see. I do actually have some with her not smiling but I think I was just drawn to these initially because her smile is so radiating and "sunny!" :-)

Happy Baby!

I ran into a friend at the Battelle Salmon Bake this past weekend and couldn't resist taking a quick picture of her cute baby boy! He was in a good mood with big smiles.... a perfect combination for a perfect image! I love the bright colors in his shirt too. It has SUMMER written all over it!

Beautiful Woman Session!

Tag Line: "I'm not 40, I'm 18 with 22 years experience!"

This was done for a client who is turning 40 and just wanted to celebrate herself!!! What a great attitude and a fun lady! She is also the hair and makeup stylist, Susan Hayward, listed on the postcard below.

As women, we are often the ones taking the pictures and rarely in pictures ourselves. Wouldn't it be nice to have a portrait of yourself that celebrates you? It doesn't necessarily have to be romantic or sexy.... maybe you are just after a classy portrait to display on a loved ones' desk. What better way to do it then with a hair and makeup stylist included in the session fee! I know this is an area I don't excel in myself and having a professional take care of my hair and makeup, especially for a portrait, would be essential!

Don't be shy ladies, give me a ring!!!

My Little Angels.....

Well, these were taken on Mothers' Day. It was my only request. No eating out at a fancy restaurant, no presents, no chocolate or flowers! I wanted new portraits of my kids! Let's just say my kids haven't grasped the concept of doing something they don't want to do in order to make someone else happy!! However, we did get it done and I AM happy with the results. I can't believe how fast these guys are growing..... I want to capture everything about them. But I'll take one expression at a time.

Three Boys!

This session came about as a result of a drawing at a business open house. A wonderful lady won the complimentary session and two 5x7 images, a $160 value, and chose to use the session for her three boys! We were a little worried as the week came to a close and there were still very strong winds on Friday. But, it cleared up and calmed down and we had nice weather Saturday morning for the shoot!

Her boys did great and I am quite pleased with the results! Here are a few favorites of each boy from the session. Enjoy!

Irish Dancing

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to take pictures of members in a local Irish Dancing group. These pictures will be taken before their recital coming up on May 27th. One of the instructors brought her daughter over to create some sample images of what our setup will be at the recital. Here are the results!

"New" Relatives!

On our way back from Jamacia we stayed in the Seattle area for a couple days. The second night we got to meet one of my second cousins (whom I had never met) and his family! I wasn't planning on taking out my camera but in the morning I noticed the wonderful light coming in their dining room window and couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a few shots of Casie, my cousin's daughter. I think these turned out great and I am glad I broke out the camera for this quick 2-minute "session!"
