This little darling totally made my day on friday. She was the cutest lil thing!! Her parents dressed her in the most adorable fall outfit with these cute little bows. After a couple of weeks with working with seniors it was sure fun to chase around a two year old.
This little gal is so full of life, adventurous and a blast to photograph. We had a fun little adventure wondering around the gardens.
We met up at the Asian Gardens at Lake Sacajawea here in Longview. It’s one of the most popular spots to photograph and for good reason. It’s just gorgeous over there. If you ever get a chance to take a walk around it, I highly recommend it!
Thank you K family for allowing me to photograph your beautiful family. I hope you enjoy your preview!!
finally, my absolute favorite photo from the session….
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…
My SIL and I swapped sessions for each other so we could finally be IN the pictures. I was really excited to have these done since we haven’t had a single photo taken together since before the baby was born (sad, I know).
She did a great job and I was really excited with the results. We clean up pretty well, I think. I’m really glad my hubby and kids were good sports about it. I know they’ll thank me later.
Hopefully they will anyway 😉
this is a goofy one, but it really shows how our family is. total chaos and kids being uncooperative!!! 🙂
my favoritist guy in the whole world
this is one of my favs… I LOVE how mr. D is looking over at big sis. It’s too cute!!
My favoritest family. This is my sister -in-law and her family (our husbands are brothers). I met them out at Willow Grove for a family session on Sunday night. Willow Grove beach is one of my new favorite places to photograph. There’s so many wonderful places out there. We had such a blast together. She’s a fellow photog, so it was really fun coming up with ideas for her portraits. They are such a hip, fun family.
They make Derrick and I look like old folks when we hang out. I guess I need to become cool sometime soon. I love these guys and their originality!!
I hope you enjoy the preview…
We went to a birthday party for Baby E and I managed to get a few pics of the little man. These guys are like family to us. Eric is good friends with my hubby and they attended boot camp together when they first joined the army. We spent five years stationed in the same places (which is pretty remarkable in the military life). Melea and I became good friends and we made our own quilting group when we were in Hawaii. Since we were all so far away from our families, we all celebrated holidays together. There was a small group of us that had moved around the same places. It made the military life a little easier to bear.
It was awesome to see them again! Thankfully for us, they’re now only an hour away in Vancouver, WA. I’m looking forward to us getting together more often.
