This little guy is the baby from this gorgeous mama. He’s the fourth baby in this adorable family. His older siblings are simply perfect and he fits right in. His mama always teases me about having a fourth baby. For now I think three is enough for me!! I think she’s definitely super woman. She’s always wearing a smile and her kids are so well behaved.

Thanks Mrs. B for having me do M’s photos. He’s truly a doll and I really enjoyed our morning together!

isn’t he just precious?!!!

he’s just perfect.

Okay so while I do like studio stuff, my heart is really into the outdoor sessions. This is one of my best friends and her family. She’s totally cool and let’s me pick where we went.

I took them out to one of my favorite spots near my studio in downtown Kelso. It was super cold, but we managed and the boys were totally awesome. I’ve photographed the boys since they were really tiny. They are the same ages as my two sons and my oldest boy (who’s almost four) says they are his best friends. They go to the same school and we have plans of them playing ball together.

Thanks for letting me drag you around town for your pics. I love you guys and I hope you love these photos!!

In about twelve years these boys are gonna break your hearts

I haven’t been able to blog all of the sessions that I’ve done lately. I’m so incredibly blessed to be as busy as I have been.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by the gals who own Estetica Day Spa for some commercial work. I was very excited for the opportunity to work with another small business here locally.

Estetica Day Spa is located at 1146 Commerce Avenue (inside Pals hair salon) in downtown Longview.

You can view their website here.

I started out with head shots of the owners and then I took some photos in the spa. They offer a ton of services and I’m incredibly happy that I get to try them out tomorrow with my very first facial!!  (can you tell I’m a little excited?!!!)

Next on my list is a massage. After all this Christmas craziness, I think that will be perfect!!

Thanks Barb and Kim for trusting me with your photos. I had such a wonderful time meeting you and hope you love your photos!

aren’t they gorgeous!!!

The sign on the bottom right cracked me up!!!

My insane Christmas season is now slowing down. I’m not even close to being up to date with blog posts. I hope the next few weeks will allow me some time to show you some of the fun sessions that I’ve done and haven’t posted!

Last weekend after a big round of mini sessions, I stole my brother and sister-in-law for a few photos. Mostly for my own sake because I want a huge photo of them on my wall. In my old age I get all emotional about that sort of stuff. The most updated photo of them I have currently in my house is from their wedding four years ago (or was it five?? gosh, I don’t remember).

Anyhoo…. here’s my GORGEOUS sister-in-law and my most handsome brother….

(oh yeah,  hi mom!! I know you’ll be reading this and loving the fact that I photographed your other kids. Love you bunches!!!)

seriously couldn’t get any better lookin than this!!!

LOVE this. Yes, I love laughing shots. I can’t help it, they make me smile.

so hot they’re hazardous

this makes me smile.

plus the coloring is rad. If rad is a cool word that is.
