Mother's Day

May is for Mother's! Didn't you know? I had a wonderful weekend! The Mommy & Me sessions were sooo much fun! I will say it again, BOYS MAKE ME LAUGH!
Then there are little girls. Little girls are sweet and you just want to squeeze them they are so adorable!
I absolutely LOVE my job!
I know there are some mom's who can't wait for their pictures. Here is a sneak peek. I am doing my best to have them all proofed and finished so be patient I'm just about there.

I love the seasons! When they come AND when they go. I enjoyed winter but I am looking forward to spring and all the blossoms of my trees. I pulled these two images from last years spring"album"

It was a beautiful fall day, a perfect day to spend with perfect friends!

Our Beagle Lucy

My Beagle Lucy has lived a long life. She has probably given birth to many puppies as we got her when the breeding kennel she belonged to retired her. She is the sweetest beagle you will ever meet. She is shy and she doesn't really play. When it came to my babies she knew what she was to do. She never leaves my side and I believe my first born Samuel and her share a special bond. Here are some pictures I took this past autumn with the kids and Lucy in a field by our house.

Christine and Cory

I had the great pleasure in photographing a young couple celebrating their engagement. With Valentine's day approaching I thought I would post a few of their images.

Ethan's new brother Liam

During christmas I had the great pleasure of photographing Ethan and his new brother Liam. Ethan is just about 4 and full of grins and giggles! LOVE him to pieces he is so much fun to photograph. Liam is a beautiful baby and already you can tell that he will giggle and grin just like his brother, but for now there is nothing more adorable then a sleeping baby! Congratulations Ethan on your new baby brother, take care of him and teach him how to giggle and grin!

Joy and Grayson and Bernard Quilala

With Christmas so close we are all busily getting ready! I am LOVING the Christmas decorations that we managed to put up this year, well really it's just the tree but it is beautiful and just enough. Brad and I are proud to have accomplished putting lights outside this year on our 25+ foot spruce tree. It was no easy task! With the kids one year older, Christmas time has a new level of excitment, awe and wonder! Kids are a blessing and I have had many great sessions this fall with families and kids and new babies, wonderful babies! The Quilala family will have an extra special christmas this year. First christmas together as husband and wife and first Christmas with Grayson - beautiful Grayson!

Recent Headshots

Here are a few samples of recent headshots.

Elizabeth

This family was so lovely I couldn't stop taking pictures! Baby Elizabeth followed me everywhere I went so in most of her pictures she is looking at me :) Mom and Dad were so good with her and each other it was what I call a "warm & fuzzy family session" full of smiles and giggles and precious faces.
