Yep…that’s how old he’s going to be.  My sweet little guy is having is birthday next week and I can’t believe it!

Last week the kids and I were driving, my son saw some railroad tracks and he said “Mom…I think you should take pictures on train tracks, that would be really cool.”  I asked him if he would let me take his pictures on train tracks, he thought about it for a second and said “Sure.”   Now keep in mind this kid has HORRIBLE photographers child syndrome.  He really hates having his picture taken and gets mad at me when I pull it out to take snapshots of him and his sister, so I was really, REALLY excited to hear that he was even thinking about letting me take his picture.  Last Saturday we all headed out to some inactive tracks with a few boxcar’s parked on them to take his photos.    I was so happy with how these turned out,  it’s been quite awhile since I’ve been able to get cute shots of him since he is so uncooperative when it comes to his mom and cameras.

Isn’t he sweet? 

Well…..sister-in-law that is!    Sunday night I did an engagement session for my husbands little brother and his fiance Nicole.   These two are so perfect together, I am just gushing with excitement for the two of them.  I’ll be shooting their wedding July 25th in Rose Valley and I just can’t wait.

Nicole is  professional cake decorator, she works at Market Place here in Longview and does a phenomenal job decorating cakes.  Her cakes are works of art…..it’s amazing!  I would HIGHLY recommend her for any wedding cakes or birthday cakes or any other type of cake for that matter, they really are beautiful and unique, and of course yummy!

Craig works with my husband at the family business in Kelso.   The two of them get along great, and we all love hanging out together when our crazy schedules don’t get in the way.    I’ve been waiting a few years for him to finally get married and I am so excited that it’s happening soon, and to a girl we all just love!

I love these two.  Enjoy.  

This one had me cracking up – it’s so “them.”  

Just wanted to give a big thank you to all the men and women who have protected, served and sacrificed for our country over the years.   We owe our lives and our freedom to you.   We are so blessed to live in this amazing nation and I truly thank the Lord that I was born here in America!  We have so many freedoms that we take for granted, we seem to go about our lives and forget how many men and woman died just so that we could be free.    So a big thank you to our service people and veterans.  You are greatly appreciated and I feel blessed to have you protecting and serving our nation!

I met up with the “L” family this last Monday for some family photos at a park next to the Columbia River.   They have the most precious family,  3 beautiful daughters and one adorable son.    It was really windy out when we did the session because we were right next to the river, and so the poor kids were freezing, but despite the coldness they did amazing and I was so happy with how these turned out!

A big thank you to the “L” family for having me as your photographer and I hope you enjoy your preview!

I met up with Samantha this last weekend for her senior session here in town.  The weather was absolutely beautiful!  Blue skies and sunshine, what a nice break from that nasty rain we had last week!

Samantha looked gorgeous, and did amazing during her session.  She plays soccer for Mark Morris, so we did a few sports-themed photos in the Longview soccer fields and then headed over to Kelso for some more urban-ish photos.

I really enjoyed her session and was so happy with how these turned out, of course having a pretty model made my job super easy!  

Thank you Samantha for having me as your photographer and I hope you enjoy your preview!
