This family was so adorable – we did a mini-session back in May out at Willow Grove and I just love how these all turned out. Thank you guys for having me as your photographer! :-)

When Alex told me her vision for her session I couldn’t help but get excited – I LOVE anything vintage and it’s rare that I get a chance to photograph a session with a vintage twist. Alex’s wardrobe (and her beauty!!!) is really what made this session perfect…..well, the setting was awesome too….but the wardrobe and Alex…I love it! If I were rich, I would hire this girl to be my stylist. :-) (Did I mention I LOVE vintagey things?). So….being that her outfits were vintage, it was only proper that I give a few of these photos a vintage twist in the processing.

Thank you Alex for having me as your photographer! I had a blast working with you. :-)

The C Family

I went out to the “C” family home last month for a family portrait session. I was amazed by their GORGEOUS home on the Columbia River. I had a blast with them….we even took some photos in their new bar which (like everything else in the home) was just beautiful! Thank you guys for having me as your photographer! I loved meeting you all!!

The C Family – Toutle family photography

Miss K just turned one and her parents and I got to meet up for their yearly family photos. I can’t believe how much all of these babies have changed in the last year! Miss K is no exception. Sitting up, giggling, getting teeth and just starting to talk…..so much changes in that first year! I met her parents up in Toutle at the Harry Gardner park last Sunday and we were just in time to get some of the fall colors before this last weeks storms took away all of our pretty fall foliage. I was really happy with how these turned out. Miss K was a gem!

Thank you guys for having me as your photographer!

Purple flowers, grassy field and a riverbed – Kelso senior photographer

This was an extra special session for me…Nicole is a good friend of my younger sisters and has become a good friend to my husband and I over the last little bit. We love her to death and it almost felt like I was photographing my little sis. :-) I really enjoyed myself on the session and having a gorgeous subject was just one more added bonus to an already great session!

Thank you Nicole – I love you to death and had a blast with you, Car, and my crazy husband.

The Social Media Revolution….

I have a confession to make.

I’m a geek.

I twitter and facebook all the time, I have a myspace, two blogs, 8 e-mail addresses, and a flickr account. I’m on digg, linkdin, hulu, and prop. You can google me and find out all sorts of crazy things….well……not to crazy, but you can certainly find me and probably a few funny photos if you search hard enough. I’m on lots of forums, and some of my closest friends I met online. I love social networking and how it has helped my business, but until I saw this video I thought of myself as a bit of a nerd…..it’s only us twenty-somethings and teens that use facebook right? Not anymore……

I thought this was a fascinating clip and wanted to share it with you – fan my facebook page and follow me on twitter if you want to get in on some of my upcoming specials!

My kids are cool.

At least I think so!

Saturdays off in the summertime are very rare for a photographer. I happened to have blocked this one out months ago and we made sure to take full advantage of an entire day of “just family”. It was really nice!

My husband (Bryce) got up early and took my son to the store to buy a new skateboard and helmet with his birthday money. Bryce spent the next couple hours at a school down the street from our house teaching Casey how to skateboard. He called me a little later and asked me to come take some photos. Of course I was more than happy to! A few photos ended up turning into more of a mini-lifestyle photo shoot. Capturing the kids time with their Dad today in photos reminded me again of why I fell in love with photography years ago.

They both worked with Olivia for a little bit too.

Last night while I was busy working Bryce and my son got a hold of some fake tattoos, which explains why my kids have body art all over them. :-)

Mike + Kelly = Forever

Mike and Kelly got married on Saturday. It was a perfectly gorgeous day for a wedding, and I couldn’t have been more happy to be there. They got married at the First Christian Church here in Longview, and the ceremony and reception were just lovely. You could just tell these two are absolutely perfect for each other and so in love! Mike surprised Kelly the morning of with a very sweet note and a gift of some beautiful pearls for her to wear with her dress. It was so sweet that I had to take a photo of it. She made an absolutely stunning bride, and Mikes expression was priceless when he saw her for the first time as she walked down the aisle.

My assistant Nate did a fabulous job helping me capture their day, and several of the images that I’m showing below are from his cameras. It’s really been wonderful having him help me – I couldn’t ask for a better assistant! Thank you Nate! :-)

A huge thank you to Mike and Kelly as well, it has been wonderful getting to know you two and sharing in your special day. I hope that you cherish these photographs for many, many years to come, and I pray for God’s richest blessings on you two as you begin your new life together!
