Thanks and have a happy day in the snow!

yes, that’s my laundry pile and yes, that’s my daughter jumping on it. My son is getting ready to jump off the couch onto the pile while the baby squeals with delight.

(don’t worry, no children were harmed during the laundry jumping fiasco)

ahhh life is good….

I had the pleasure of photographing the “G” family at their home in Rose Valley in Kelso. They perfectly coordinated their clothes and looked fabulous! I love when families dress similar but aren’t matchy matchy. Kids wearing matching clothes are cute but I personally don’t care for it when the mom, dad, and kids wear the exact same santa sweater (weirds me out). Okay, anyway… this family was perfect!

Thanks for hiring me to photograph your family. The rest of your pictures will be up in a few days. I hope you enjoy your preview!

A few days ago I did a lifestyle session for the “C” family at their house and then we went to a tree farm. It was a full service U-pick tree farm complete with Santa Clause and hot chocolate. It was so fun to be able to capture this time with them. We had quite the adventure hiking around trying to find that “perfect” tree.

I first photographed little baby “b” when he was just a month old. Some of you might remember my favorite photo of him all wrapped up on their couch. He’s the cutest little guy. He’s grown so much in the past few months it’s amazing. He’s now six months and cute as ever.

I just love this family. They’re always up for adventure and willing to have me along. It was a perfect session.

Thanks for hiring me and I hope you enjoy your preview! The rest of your photos will be finished and will be in your gallery in a few days.

the cutest little tree topper…

meeting Santa…

his face cracks me up…

soooo cute!!

We went out to my brother and sister-in-laws place for a lazy Sunday afternoon. My kiddos had a blast playing on their property. They picked flowers and played in the leaves. Declan got to crawl around on the gravel – he thought that was pretty cool. It was unusually warm for November (and not to mention dry) so I decided to snap some outdoor pics of the kids. I think they tolerated me fairly well this time since I haven’t bugged them for photos since Halloween. I didn’t get any smiles from Mr. I, but at least he would look at me without crying. In hindsight I should have tried to get a pic of them together.I think my kids will be the only kids in the history of the world with more photos of them individually than of them together…

this cost me a piece of candy. Yes, I do pay her for her modeling work 😉

Isaac and his uncle nate (my brother)

he sat down on the fence like this on his own. We were teasing that we needed to re-do this one when he’s a senior.

his poor little pants kept falling down, so I caught a snap of him pulling them up..

he’s such a happy lil guy…

mmm… moss is yummy….
