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!

Senior season seems to be wrapping up.  And I am really excited to blog this session.  This is from last week and I had a ton of fun with Tate.  He was relaxed and game for anything.  I love senior sessions and getting to know them better.  I learned about his new van, and the plans he has for it.  It is pretty awesome, especially if you are into snow boarding.

Now on to the the pictures.  :)

Tate has a great serious face.

But he tends to smile way more.
And we had to get a few with his snowboard.And this is one of my favorite shots.. I love the lighting.  And the color.  It makes me happy.Thanks Tate for putting up with crazy me for an afternoon.  Enjoy your senior year!

One of my favorite things about my job is the amazing opportunity I am blessed with to capture love.  It always humbles me to be in the presence of couples who are so captivated by each other, and they allow me to capture them.  I always leave feeling blessed for knowing them.  Nick and Bernadette weren’t an exception.  These two are adorable together.  And watching them interact you can feel the love they have for each other.  And lucky me I get to capture their wedding day in a few months!

And now on to the good stuff.
I love the little details.  Holding hands.  It makes me remember the first time I held my husbands hand.
They are so cute together!  It makes me happy.
Bernadette has the best laugh, and it is contagious.  And these two have the best eyes.  Totally jealous.We may or may not have climbed over a fence.  But I love this image. I saw this one when it uploaded.  I loved it then.  I love it now.  Bernadette looks gorgeous!Again this just makes me happy.
I love a good serious picture.  And they rocked it.
Thank you for such a fun session.  We barely missed the rain, but it was worth it!  Congratulations on your engagement!

I love meeting new people.  And new clients are even better.  Abigail called me because she was ready for pictures with her boyfriend, Pablo.  So these aren’t engagements, these are just happy couple pictures.  I love it!  And we had so much fun.  And Pablo may or may not have lost his man card for doing this.  But Abigail is totally worth it!  :)  Thanks for a super fun morning!They have the sweetest relationship.  And I LOVE their sense of humor.  They thought I was funny. Pablo has the best car ever.  I was feeling lame in my mom van.  He really loves his car.  I don’t blame him.
This shot has everything he needs.  His girl, and his car.

Thank you for such a fabulous morning!!

A couple of weeks ago I drove to Spokane.  And then I drove to Elk.  It was a ways out of Spokane, but it was gorgeous!!  We drove up to Valerie’s Grandparents farm.  And it wasn’t just any farm.  It is they type of farm that takes your breath away and you are amazed that places like this really exsist.  It was that awesome.

I had a fabulous time running all over the farm and finding fun places to capture Valerie.  I wanted to stay there forever.  Now on to the good stuff.  :)

Valerie is tall.  Like me.  :)  And she is gorgeous!!

And she has this hair.. it’s gorgeous and perfect in every way.  Man.. I wish I was blonde.I love this picture.  LOVE IT.  We were in the very top of the barn.. and the light was dim but coming in and it makes me happy.  Very very happy.After the farm we hit the Elk City Park.  Seriously this bench made me happy.  I love it just sitting there right off of the road.  I wonder if I could buy it?Valerie is just as gorgeous inside as she is out.  Thanks for letting me capture such a fun time in your life!
