Sam KHS 2013 Senior

I had the pleasure of photographing Sam's older brother last year, and this year was Sam's turn! He was an amazing model, very intuitive and followed direction well. A photographer's dream. Thank you for choosing me and best wishes Sam!

A beautiful baby shower.

What an absolutely adorable shower this was! The venue was a little out of the ordinary, but very original and also very perfect. I absolutely loved it, and everything was set up so beautifully. Past life secret: I used to work with 2 of the pretty ladies photographed below. ;)

The beautiful mom to be, Sam and her best friends

who threw her the shower.

isn't this set up just gorgeous?

Yep, that is the mom to be's hot shoes!!! I love that!

is your mouth watering? Mine was!

Guests.

H Fam Shoot

Here are some familiar faces, and a not-so familiar bump! ;) I photographed this lovely couple's reception and they are back for a beautiful winter session. I love photographing this good looking family.

Cousins. Aren't they adorable? I love this one!

C Family

You've seen this gang before, and you will likely see them again! Miss L is hands down the funniest little girl client I have. Not only do I know I'm in for a good laugh during the shoot, but I know I'm in for a good chuckle while editing the photos. My husband, who doesn't even tried to hide his biased opinion, also thinks Miss L is absolutely adorable. 

She gave me permission to take this photo,

and after she realized I had taken more

than one, she let me know I was pushing my limits!

She looks so much like her daddy and acts

so much like her mommy!

Jenta, Mark Morris High Class of 2013

Yay for Mark Morris kids! (I'm totally biased, bc that was my Alma Mater, albeit a long time ago...) I met up with Jenta for some more urban type photos on a if-y weather day, but fortunately we lucked out and got the patch of sun. She did a fantastic job posing, and look at her gorgeous eyes! I also met up with her a little later in the day for a 2nd shoot (which you will see, coming up soon!). She seems like a very sweet, smart girl, and totally easy to photograph, made my job easy! She's another senior to look for in the spring. :)

Taylor Class of 2013 KHS Senior

I met up with this Kelso High Senior (and his dad, J) at his school, unfortuantely the day that we picked happened to be a completely busy! The parking lot was full and there were tons of people where we wanted to take pictures. No worries, though, Taylor was not phased! He rocked it out. 

If you are not from the Longview-Kelso area, then you are not familiar with how much school pride Kelso High has, and how big of a football school they are! Taylor is a football star, but not only that, I found him to be a sweet, well mannered young man. Look for him in the spring for his senior sessions part 2!

Baby Girl Ro

This little girl LOVED the lime light. She had absolute zero problem being photographed, and not only that, but she loved it! A pro from the get go. Can't wait to photograph her in the future (as I likely will, since I'm good friends with her GRANDMA!). See you later Baby Ro!

a smile!

she says "aren't I beautiful, mama?"

baby head wrinkles!!!

Mr. W Returns!

Do you all remember Mr. W from last year? If not, be sure to click on the link for a refresher. Totally cute chubby baby boy has turned into a walking-talking little man! You can guess what Mr. "W's" name is by the first photo. ;) This time around, he was even cuter than last time and realllllly into cars. He was the perfect little model! 

He's too cool.

Gregg-Crawford Wedding

I have a decent amount of weddings under my belt, and if you combine the weddings I've done for work and the weddings I've attended as a guest, I have a LOT...but I can genuinely say that this was the funniest wedding I've ever been apart of. It was lighthearted, happy, and people were laughing the entire time. That being said, it wasn't so jokey that you couldn't tell that Amelia and Jase were completely in love. There were also many sweet and touching moments, it was truly a pleasure (and probably one of the more laid back brides!). I wish you two the best, and hope to hang out: since we all live in TACOMA! YAY!

dress details, gorgeous, huh?

First Look.

The couple played a movie before the ceremony.

There were lots of laughs from the audience

and a SURPRISE at the end!

like I said, lots of laughter.

Best wedding vows, EVER.

his shirt says it all.
