Senior season is here!!! Longview, WA high school senior photographer

This gorgeous gal came in for her senior portraits a few weeks ago. The weather and lighting was absolutely DIVINE and I wish more high school seniors would do sessions during the summer!!! (hint hint those of you out there…) The weather is so nice and it’s just fun and relaxed.

Here’s a sneaky peak of her session…

September 3, 2010 - 12:58 pm Grandma Bernice - these are wonderful and beautiful

I’m an AUNTIE!!!!

So, I’m horribly behind on my blog for regular sessions and weddings, but I just HAVE to post the most exciting thing that’s happened in my life ALL year!!!

My older brother (my only blood sibling, older by 18 months) and his wife, miss Natalie had their first baby on August 29th, 2010. I was photographing a wedding when I got the news that I was an auntie to one beautiful little girl. I cried when I heard the news!!!!

Because I’m so far behind in posting, I hadn’t even posted their maternity session yet, but I figured I’d do it now and introduce the prettiest little girl I’ve ever seen (other than my own!).

I’ll be doing their first “regular” newborn session next week, so I’m sure I’ll be back showing her off a little bit more ;)

Amanda and Matt ENGAGED!!!!! Castle Rock photographer

I photographed Matt’s older sister’s wedding. Remember this couple. Yup, GOOD lookin genes in this family. And now Matt is marrying miss Amanda who is STUNNING.

Their wedding is in May and I’m the lucky gal who gets to document their big day!! We did their engagement session at their property where the wedding will be held. They’ve been renovating this old barn in preparation for the big day. It’s just perfect and I love how they incorporated it into their engagement session. SO MUCH FUN!!!

Thanks so much Amanda and Matt for letting me do your photos. You are awesome and it’s been so nice getting to know you!!

August 29, 2010 - 8:35 am ashley foster - They are so beautiful! :) Good job Jenica...He is my older brother by the way :o)

September 1, 2010 - 1:43 pm Katrina - Darn cute couple!

“keepin it real”

SOOOOO, life is crazy busy.  I often forget to take snaps of my kids (let alone share about them), but my main camera body broke, I bought a new one while I waited the repair of the old one. It came back yesterday and of course I just HAD to test it out on my kiddos. Not ideal lighting conditions, kids weren’t dressed for photos (in the slightest) but you know, I just didn’t care!!! I normally would put these in the “print later” pile of photos of my kids, but I want to keep things as real as possible here on my site. THIS is my life. These are my kids. Messy hair, two year old in diapers, and my middle child who refuses to be photographed, etc, etc. Too often I try to make things so perfect that I forget that life happens as it happens.

My aunt and uncle also introduced a new cousin into the world this last week and lucky for me I got to visit them and take a few photos!!! Of course, I MUST share how ridiculously cute she is!!!

So yeah, here’s randomness of my life the last couple of days (besides the normal sessions I do regularly)…


real2

I asked my oldest to pose for the camera while I took some snaps (to test the camera) and she of course complied.

My youngest decided that he would pose the same way as big sister and this is what I got!!

Makes me laugh hysterically.

Of course they’re my kids so maybe you won’t laugh as hard, but it’s funny to me!!!

realblog2

she has such amazing depth at only 8 years old.

Don’t even get me started at how scared I am for her to become a teenager. Oh holy cow I’ll need prayers!!!

realblog3

my middle guy refused his photo be taken, but he did want me to take a picture of him golfing.

He almost broke a window with the swing after I took this. Darn kid has more talent in sports at four than I did in my entire life!

realblog7

love his sweet face!!!

bella8blog

My new cousin!!!! I took a few pics of her at the hospital the day after she was born!! We’ll be doing her newborn session soon

so I’ll post more of her sweet face then!!!

bella3blog

After trying for kids for over ten years and deciding that they wouldn’t have kids, my uncle and aunt unexpectedly got pregnant.

It’s an absolute miracle, and watching them with their first baby just melts my heart. I love them dearly!!!

bellablog11

sweet sleeping bebe.

Makes me want another.

I’m seriously trying to shake off the “baby fever” since seeing her!

“hey dad! What’s happening?”

August 21, 2010 - 10:29 am Grandma Bernice - such beautiful and wonderful kids

Michael & Anna – July 22nd, 2010 – Portland OR wedding photography

Anna and Michael are the cutest couple!!! When I first met them at their engagement session, I just knew their wedding would be a beautiful and fun occasion. Their wedding and reception was held at the Abernathy Center in Oregon City, OR. It was my first time photographing at this venue and let me tell you, it was AMAZING!!!

Add a gorgeous bride, a handsome groom in a perfect venue and you have perfection.

Thank you sooooo much for having me photograph your special day! I hope you enjoy the sneak peak!!
