So I got my studio set up, got the lighting perfect, got the kids dressed and all of a sudden Mr. I decided he did NOT want to wear his costume. I tried to coax. I tried to bribe. I tried all the tricks in the book. He was not having it. It’s hard enough to get his photo, but this takes the cake. I took the other kid’s pictures first, then encouraged him to join in.

He truly is a cowardly lion when it comes to certain things. Don’t worry, I only let him cry for a few minutes and then I gave up and took his costume off.  I think the last one is going on my wall. It’s just perfect!!!

There’s no place like home….

I love how Miss K is bored, Mr. D is concerned and Mr. I is just crying away….

is my two front teeth!!!!

My little girl lost her top tooth the day before yesterday. She was so excited and she kept running around singing the song. She lost her bottom teeth before summer, but had her permanent teeth grow in behind them so she never had a gap in her smile. This is her first time having a space in her teeth, so she is excited. She also gets her name on the “lost a tooth” board in her classroom at school.

She actually asked me if I would take her picture. I think that’s a first!!!

Gap tooth smile!

I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous young lady from Richfield High School. We met up in Woodland, WA at the Horseshoe Lake Park near downtown Woodland. The location was perfect. We met up in the early hours and got all sorts of beautiful fog over the water. I haven’t been there since Derrick and I had engagement pictures done there eight years ago (my how time flies). We found all sorts of fun places to photograph and she was such a good model for me. We even ventured into downtown Woodland and made spectacles of ourselves photographing and posing near the main street! It was pretty fun!!

I hope you enjoy your preview….

I met Katie in downtown Longview for her high school senior pics. She is a stunning young lady. Her eyes are absolutely gorgeous and I can’t get over what a pretty gal she is!!

We had a blast running around the back alley ways and seeing what cool spots we could find for photos. It’s amazing what you can find if you just walk around town for a little while. The weather was absolutely perfect. Not too sunny, not rainy.

It was one of those days where I LOVE what I do. Seniors are an absolute favorite of mine to photograph.

I hope you enjoy the preview!!


I met this family at their gorgeous home in Kelso. Their backyard was the perfect backdrop for photos. We met up early on Saturday morning and everything went well. Their daughter Miss M was the most well- behaved little one I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She completely amazed me!!!

Their dog was also really cool. She actually looked at the camera (a rarity with family pets). She was so fun and energetic. I love when families add their dogs into the photos. It’s so neat having the entire family together. It makes me wish I would have brought my doggie to our family session last week. Nina would have been so cute running around with the kiddos. Oh well.. maybe next year I’ll remember.

Here’s a few of my favorites…
