Chris and Jeannies Wedding

Chris and I had such a ball shooting this wedding. Chris and Jeannie are the cutest couple if you ask me. This wedding was full of love, energy and excitement! The reception was indeed one of the most funnest ones we have been to yet! Never a dull moment. Dancing was had by all. One word.....FUN! Enjoy looking at these pictures, and please right click and pull them off if you want and post them on your facebook and myspace.

Kaylee's Little Photo Shoot

A Christmas Present Indeed! Kaylee was due December 18th, but she decided she would wait and give her mom and dad the best present EVER!! She arrived on Christmas Day. I'd have say that I would agree with Kaylee.


Kaylee was so adorable. She was so patient with me. We had to take just a couple of breaks for her to eat, but soon after her tummy was full she was as content as content could be. She even lost her belly button at the shoot, she wasn't too pleased about that, but again, a quick snack and she was up for more pictures.



I just love these pics, if I had to pick a favorite, (which is really hard for me to do, cuz these all are so precious), I would have to go with the flower on her bum and her in the Christmas gift basket.

(I couldn't pick just one, too hard)


Thanks Michelle and Garret for sharing your bundle of joy with me, I am excited to show you the rest!

Is this Seattle.... or Chicago?...... Somebody hit the heat! (Chris & Jeannie's engagement shoot)

What a perfect day to make some pictures. When you get clear skies and sunshine in December, in Seattle, you leap at the chance to get outside and start snapping away. Oh yeah…. Did I mention it was about 19 degrees with a soft breeze off the water? Wowzers! The upside is chattering teeth look like smiles on film.

Chris & Jeanie were great sports and their playful nature came out regardless of the temperature!

The big day is only a few days off but thankfully they are going with an INDOOR ceremony! Another point about shooting in brisk temps – short session! Don't get me wrong. I love to photograph, and will go all day if possible. But on this particular day, it did not take long before I couldn't feel my fingers or toes. It really is amazing what 19 degrees and a little wind will do to motivate a photo shoot to a speedy conclusion. This was the briefest and efficient shoot I have ever been a part of. Things moved fast and small talk was kept to a minimum. My flash had fresh juice but the cold sucked the power and left it recycling like I had been clicking off pics for hours.

There was a moment just before we called it a day that I noticed a little tear welling up in the corner of Jeannie’s eye, and I thought - How sweet, she is really feeling the emotion of the moment….then I realized it was because she was so cold she could hardly blink. The poor girl was just this side of cold blindness. Sorry Jeannie for not stopping sooner, you & Chris are just too much fun to photograph! See you on Sunday….. INSIDE!

Monica's Senior fashion Shoot!!

I was totally impressed by this girl! What a gem! We had so much fun shooting Monica's senior fashion shoot. She knew exactly what she wanted for her senior pictures. She brought magazine pictures, and really put some thought into her outfits to fit the poses that she envisioned for her shoot.

Monica really has her head on her shoulders. She is a girl who will go far in life. She is the whole package, brains, looks and sincerity...(she didn't pay me to say that) She just really is such a doll.

Damaris Senior Fashion Shoot

Back to the Pearl! Damaris was another senior that I got to photograph thanks to my super duper great senior representative Reggi. Reggi actually came along for the shoot. We all had fun that day. The weather cooperated and as you can see Damaris had a good time playing her guitar. I am so glad that she brought it! it definitely is a big part of her life. She plays it in her worship group at her church. Thanks Damaris for a fun shoot!!
