P Fam Holiday Shoot.

We've also seen this beautiful family before! Here and Here. 

This time we met up for a holiday inspired shoot, and so I 

could see how much Baby A had grown!!! 

For the love of DOG.

Do you recognize that beautiful girl from the last blog post? Charity happens to be one of the two ex-co-worker's that I mentioned! I adore her. I also adore a good pet photography session, if you don't know me personally, than you might not know that I am slightly obsessed with my pets. My husband and I are both HUGE animal lovers! So when people approach me (sheepishly sometimes) to do a pet session, I am not only ALL OVER IT, but they quickly realize there is nothing to be sheepish about. There's a reason why people cry harder when a dog dies in a movie, than a person. Unconditional LOVE. This beautiful, sweet girl, BECCA (photographed below) is no exception. I wanted to puppy-nap her by the end of the shoot, and I know my husband would've been perfectly okay loving this creature! But fortunately, she is already so loved and blessed and probably wouldn't want us to puppy-nap her. ;) Enjoy. I certainly did!

Landon happens to work on a tug boat for his profession,

so it was totally fitting that one pass by during their shoot!

Look at sweet Becca's face. Charity said "She is not food oriented 

(when I tried to bribe Becca with dog treats), she is affection oriented."

Longview Mini Sessions

Longview mini sessions were a hit! It was my first time putting on mini sessions, and I did learn a thing or two for the next time I do them, but for the most part, they went really well. It was wonderful seeing old clients and meeting new ones. 

The D Family. Miss S is the absolute cutest! 

I photographed his parent's wedding!

You've seen that cute guy before. 

Do you remember him?

He is so darn smart and funny!

I don't want to be biased...but in this case, I can't help it.

That cute bottom belongs to my Godson!

Bruno!!!! And his beautiful girlfriend and their dogs.

Mr. E, in the 6th grade (see his doc Martens?! they're cool again!)

Mr. A and Miss E, cute as can be.

Gwynn Holiday Wedding.

 What a fun wedding this was! My first (and I think also for many of the guests, as well) winter/Christmas themed wedding. It was a beautiful location filled with beautiful people and wonderful holiday spirit. Thanks for choosing me as your photographer! Here are just a FEW of the photos from the event...I always say this, but it's reallllllly true today, had a very hard time narrowing it down. Please click on photos to see them bigger.

getting ready.

FIRST LOOK!!!

goofy shot! I love this one.

good looking bunch, huh?

The Flower Girl was all smiles! 

saying a prayer.

My favorite of the first dance (but there are many good ones).

Garter toss!

Murray Family

You might recognize one of the (pretty) faces here. I photographed Hailey for her senior photos in the fall. Her entire family came back for a FREEZING shoot this past weekend. Hailey's parents Suzi & Mike both went to UW (Go Dawgs!), hence the color scheme for their very well chosen outfits. Although it was freezing, it was a good shoot & everyone was in good spirits for this photo shoot. Even 14 year old Andrew, I find that boys his age usually are "too cool" to give me a smile, but Andrew was a natural in front of the camera like his sister! Happy Holidays to the Murray Family!

this one is my favorite.

the good looking couple! 

mother daughter, isn't this sweet?

the end. See you next time!
