N And His Girls

Spokane was the setting for these family portraits....just a week before they had over 4 feet of snow dumped on them. Even then, it was sure chilly out! The girls (and Neal) were great sports despite the chill, and we got some awful cute photos!

O Family Portraits

A's Family Beach Portraits

Now begins the major catch-up on my latest sessions. Due to the busy holiday, I am posting previews for those of you that haven't yet received your photos, and then the catch-up begins on the rest.

One of my recent sessions involved a trip to the beach with this lovely family for some coastal shots. Here's a preview of our day.....

N's Beautiful Belly

Mr. and Mrs. W and their soon-to-be firtsborn met with me at a local park for a maternity session. With only a few days to go before the due date, we were able to squeeze in a few shots of that baby belly before it's gone! Can you believe N is due so soon? Doesn't she look great?!

Miss R's New Look

Success! Miss R's constant wiggling and high energy levels make her a difficult portrait subject. But, tell her a story while you click, and she may hold still long enough for a few lovely pictures of her new "baby bob"!

Colton Family

Although sweet little Josie refused to entertain the idea of just one smile.....those cheeks were still super photogenic. Don't you think? I'd like to dress her up in a little pink tu-tu and hair barettes and see how long she'd let me point a camera at her face. Maybe I can talk her Mama into it. (:

Thanks, you guys, for being so willing to pose, even in the wet grass (Sorry Josie) and blazing sun. I enjoyed getting to capture your sweet little family! Here's a few from our session.....enjoy!

Fun with Jaydene

Jaydene and I lugged her beautiful green chair down to the Alameda shoreline for a fun photo shoot today. While onlookers asked, "WHO brought an overstuffed chair to the beach?!", I dug pits in the sand for my scorched feet while Jaydene lounged on her chair, in her red high heels, with the city in the background, and clicked away.

Here's a few from the shoot....

Thanks for the fun afternoon, Jaydene!

The Lovely S Family

Cull Canyon was the setting for my shoot with the handsome Scoresby family yesterday. Aren't these kids adorable? Tanner picked yesterday to skip his nap, but did pretty well during the shoot anyway. Here's a few more from our session...

Innocence

Daddy

It's rare when we get to hang out with Daddy for the day. Luckily, I had my camera, to "capture the moment!"

City Lights

A beautiful evening view of San Fransisco's city lights, and the Bay Bridge from Treasure Island.

Carefree...

Oh, to be young again! Little Hadley is a natural in front of the camera with her childhood beauty and adorable expressions. You'll be seeing more of her!

My Babies

It's not every day that you capture the beauty of a child, in a way that gives the viewer a portrait of the real person. Joey's obsession with nature and natural materials is well reflected in this shot, as well as Reagenne's simple childhood innocence.

Little Woman

When my little sister, Emma, came to visit us, I jumped on the chance to have a willing subject for a longterm session at my disposal. This is my favorite from our shoot:

Our Friends, the Ausmus'! (ahs-muhs-es)

I had the honor of providing our friends, the Ausmus', with their Christmas family photos this year. Little Jacob is such a delight to photograph. Look at these big smiles...just for me!
