I love big families! I am from a family of seven.. though we are incredibly spread out. But I always love photographing families with lots of cute children. This family had FIVE adorable children. They were sweet and so fun.
Thank you for a fabulous shoot! :)

The *G* Family: Tri-Cities, Washington Family Photographer
November 30, 2010Lauren and Jonathan: Tri-Cities, Washington Family Photographer
November 28, 2010I had the most delightful Thanksgiving. Full of many things to be grateful for. I loved that we had tons of snow for Thanksgiving. I think this was my first white Thanksgiving ever. And probably my last. This year was somewhat of a novelty. As I reflected on my blessings my family was at the top of my list of things to be grateful for. And then I went through a variety of other things, but I have to admit that my clients are pretty high up there. They bless my life in so many ways. I am so blessed to get to meet all sorts of wonderful people and call them my friend. I am allowed into their homes, I am blessed to sneak a peek into their lives and see them for the wonderful people that they are. And capture their sweet moments. I love my job. :)
Now on to the reason you are here. To see the pictures. :) Lauren emailed me way back in July to do her maternity pictures for her sweet baby boy who will be making his arrival in just a few weeks. I always love it when clients are already thinking months in advance. :)
First some pictures of Lauren. She looks beautiful!
And then a few of Jonathan and Lauren. I love, love, love shooting people in their element. I feel like it captures a little bit of who they are. And they were so great to let me move things around, open blinds and get the right light. 
And then we had to get a few with the big sister. Isn’t she adorable?
And like all little girls, she needed a few shots of her own. 
And then we finished with a nice family portrait of this adorable family!
Thank you for allowing me capture your life.
The *Z* Family: Tri-Cities, Washington Family Photographer
November 24, 2010I 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!
The *R* Family: Tri-Cities, Washington Family Photographer
November 19, 2010I 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!
The *C* Family: Tri-Cities, Washington Family Photographer
November 18, 2010It’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!
Ryan + Angela: Tri-Cities, Washington Wedding Photographer
November 15, 2010Meet Ryan + Angela.
June 4, 2011 these two are getting married. And lucky me, I get to capture their wedding day. I’ve said it before, I am so blessed to do what I love. And I have the BEST clients ever. Ryan and Angela are so sweet and caring for one another. They recently got engaged at a Tri-City Americans Hockey game. Way to go Ryan. What a fun and surprising way to ask Angela. She didn’t answer right away. She was surprised that it was happening right then, but then she did. And obviously, she said yes. Congratulations you two! I am so excited for you to start your life together!
We started up in the orchard. It was beautiful. And I love these three pictures together.
She has a beautiful tattoo on her foot. I had to showcase it.
These two have great chemistry, it radiates off of them.
I love this shot. Every time I look at it, I smile. 
Thank you for a fun afternoon, and we were so blessed with pleasant November weather. Congratulations!!
Sneak Peek: Tri-Cities, Washington Photographer
November 11, 2010I love when people have ideas for their pictures. And this shoot was so fun. They were more than willing to do what I wanted, but they knew this sign belonged in their picture. I had to throw up a quick sneak peek, I love it. I couldn’t wait to get home and load these on to my computer. And I am so excited to edit these. This sweet couple has been married for over 20 years. I love that they got pictures of just the two of them together. I think more couples should do this. Celebrate their love and their life together.
Enjoy your sneak peek, and thank you for letting me capture you!
Gratitude
November 10, 2010This year has been such an amazing year for me. I am sitting here thinking of the many blessings I have been blessed with and I am amazed. We moved.. again. I started my business over.. again. And the blessings have poured out on me. How did I end up with the best husband? He supports me, keeps me grounded and encourages me. He pushes me to dream bigger and have faith in myself. And my kids. They inspire me, make me laugh, and bless me in so many ways. And then my clients. They have become dear friends. I love my clients. I love walking away from a shoot like the one I did today and feeling blessed to be in the company of such great people. My business has flourished this year. I am so blessed to get to do something I love everyday.
So thank you Randy. Thank you kids. And thank you to my WONDERFUL clients. Without you I wouldn’t be where I am.
And because images are way better than my writing. Here you go, a favorite from a recent session. And make sure to check out Eden Salon and Day Spa, they did her hair and make up. Gorgeous huh?
ONE!
