I am always so grateful when my clients refer me new clients.  That is how the *Z* family found me.  I have the best clients ever!  Thank you!!

Sunday night we had a snow storm roll in.  I was curious to see if we were really going to get THAT much snow.  I woke up pleasantly surprised on Monday morning.  And I was also very curious what the *Z* family was going to want to do.  Thankfully they are like all of my clients, complete rockstars and they braved the chilly snow at 8:30 in the morning.  We did a fast shoot.  It was cold, and the kids did a great job, their parents should be so proud of them.  They were well behaved and dealt with the cold quite well.  I am so grateful that they were willing to go out in the snowy cold.  I am so happy with the result of the snowy morning.  And here are a few that I love.

They are moving to Cashmere, Washington where Joe is going to be a dentist.  They needed a new family picture for his practice.  Pretty cool huh?  And if you are in Wenatchee make sure you go support this awesome family!  Go HERE to get all of the details!   They are super kind and Lyssa is super creative.  You’ll want to be her new best friend.

And here they are.  I love the sweet interactions they had.

I love this shot.  It makes me happy.  I think they could be on a ridiculously cute Hallmark Card and it would sell like mad.And Joe and Lyssa are so cute together.  I had to feature them.Thank you so much for a fun and chilling morning!

I will admit it, I am WAY behind on my blogging.  I am attempting to make it up.  I hate to miss a session on my blog.  So you might be seeing pictures that are well over a month old.  But I love my clients and want them to have their time to shine, so I am going backwards and catching up.  And I really need to be a better blogger.  I know, I say that all of the time.  But I am really working on it!

The *R* Family won my giveaway right after I moved back to the Tri-Cities.  I had so much fun getting to know them and really enjoyed their family session.  I loved watching them interact and their boys are the cutest kids ever.  We were lucky to have a warm fall day for their pictures.  I am missing that weather.  But alas winter is encroaching on us.  And did I just say alas?  I am letting my inner nerd shine through or something.

Back to the pictures.  Love this family.  I feel so blessed to know the people I do, and to photograph the amazing families.

The beautiful *R* Family.

These little boys melt my heart.  I love their personalities.I believe all couples need pictures together.  It is so important to celebrate your marriage and your relationship.  And one more of their beautiful family!Thanks for spending a morning with crazy me!

It’s the time of year where I am blessed to photography many families.  I love the sweet interaction I get with families.  And this family was so fun!  I have gotten to know them from Tae Kwon Do.  The boys are orange belts, just like my boy.  And Amy and I have gotten to know each other through the countless hours we spend at Tae Kwon Do.  I think it is my mental health time.  I love the Mom’s I visit with there.

Back to the family.  The boys are adorable.  And sweet.  Amy and Glenn are wonderful together, and I am so grateful they braved the cold morning to go out and capture their family.

Enjoy the sneak peek!

ONE!

November 2, 2010

I have to say I have the BEST clients ever.  And this year has been exceptional.  I am so very blessed and I am grateful for the wonderful people I have met this year.  I currently only have one session left for the 2010 year.  If you are interested please shoot me an email.

If you need something fun to do this weekend go HERE and buy tickets.  I am super excited I am the event photographer for the night.  It will be awesome.  If you are there make sure you say HI!

And because all posts are better with a picture.  And this shoe shot is so fun!  Here you go.  :)

A quick sneak peek for the *W* Family.

We had a gorgeous day and were able to capture several fun moments of this sweet family.  Here is the first of many fun pictures from that day!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Thanks for looking!

A long time ago, like 4 houses ago I lived in the same neighborhood as the wonderful *B* family.  I have since moved like a million times, so I was really excited when they asked me if I would do their family pictures.  It was fun to see them and to see how much their kids have grown and finally meet their baby.  Like I said it’s been a long time.  I love how real they are.  Real.. one of my favorite qualities in a person.

We started with a good portrait of the family.

And then we had some fun.  Kids always love being silly.  And thankfully the parents did too!The Llama wanted to be in a picture.  Pretty cute huh?These two are so fun and sweet together.  I love seeing couples married for over 13 years still so adoring.
And the sweet kids.  The baby I had never met.  Isn’t she adorable?The one who I knew as a baby.  I love her hair, and her sassy personality.The big sister who was so little.. and is now all beautiful and grown up.And the boy.  I love this shot.  It makes me giggle.Thank you for such a great shoot!  It was great to see you again.. hopefully we won’t go so long next time!

Have I said how blessed I am to have the best clients ever?  Oh, I have?  Well, I am so blessed!  Love my clients.  And I love when I have families that use me year after year.. even when I move far away.  And then close again.  I was so excited for their family shoot.  They were in need of a new family picture now that they had a new sweet baby boy!

Meet Will and Tiffany.  And their cute kiddos.  She also happens to be my best friend.  Lucky me!
I have since convinced her daughter that I am her best friend.  She loves me.  It took a lot of talking to get her to love me.  But now she does.  I love these wood piles.  Who knew they would be so fabulous for pictures?  But they make me happy.  All four kids piled around Dad.  Moments like this make me wish we had four kids.  How sweet is this?She was ready to smile, pose and work it.Baby boy.  Seriously how cute is he? I love it when I capture such a sweet happy look on kids faces.
And this boy makes me wish I could see what he saw.  Probably bunny ears over my head.  After ten years these two are still so cute!  
Thanks guys!  It was so much fun getting to spend time with you!

Danielle is one of the cutest girls ever!  I was so excited to take her pictures.And check out her eyes.  So gorgeous.

Thanks for joining in on the Better School Pictures.  Not just for the little kids.  :)

It’s back.  School is starting and fall is right around the corner.  And my Better School Picture Special is back!  With school starting next week I decided I would offer an option to the standard school picture.  I want pictures that capture my children.  And that is what my clients want.

Friday night it was so hot.  We are talking 99 degrees at 6:00 at night.  I love the heat, and would take that anytime over shooting in the freezing cold.  I met up with the O Family on Friday, they are moving out of the area and wanted to get pictures of their oldest before her loose front teeth fell out.  And like I have said before I have the best clients ever.  I am so blessed!

We started out at the park, and then ended in an Orchard.
I love the interaction in this shot.  They are an adorable family!

She wasn’t so sure she wanted kisses from her sister. 

I think this is one of my favorite sibling shots.  I love the expressions on their sweet faces.She was full of spunk and kept me running.  And she is the sweetest almost 7 year old ever.  And a fabulous big sister.And a final shot with some yummy sun flare!Enjoy your sneak peek!  I can’t wait to show them all to you.  Thank you so much for such a great shoot!
