I’ve photographed this beautiful family a few times over the past few years. I absolutely ADORE them. This was their first family session since having little miss C.

Aren’t they perfect??!!!

(p.s. for those of you looking for color combo ideas, THIS is perfect!!!)

I absolutely adore this family. I’ve been photographing Mr. T since he was just two weeks old. Now he’s 14 months and cuter than EVER. His mom and dad are AWESOME and I enjoy every single time I get to work with them.

Enjoy the sneaky peak!

recognize this handsome guy??

Yup, he’s the winner of best photo of 2009. Kid sticking his tongue out, yup, this is him. Handsome little feller, isn’t he??!!!

LOVE this!!!

the expression and the COLORS!!! Love it!!!!

Beautiful family photo!!

This little three year old girl became a big sister just 18 days prior to this photo session. They are both the most beautiful little girls and their parents are pretty good lookin as well. 😉

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing them OUTSIDE last week. Yes, I said outside. It’s a wonderful feeling, being outdoors again. I finally felt like I was “home” after all these months cooped up in the studio. It was a perfect day and I had a perfect family to photograph.

We finished the newborn portion of the session in the studio, of course, since it was about 50 degrees outdoors and getting baby to sleep outside just wasn’t going to happen on a day like that day. The adventure outdoors wore her out and we got lots of beautiful sleepy shots inside.

Thank you so much for letting me capture your memories. I truly love my job.

I don’t know why I love this one so much, but I do!

This little girl just had me in stitches with her personality!!

“daddy and me”

the family

“love you mama”

(FAVORITE…. would blow this one up huge if it were me and my babies)

precious baby girl with her mommy and daddy

okay seriously this little face just melts my heart…

look at those perfect little lips!!!

perfect little flower

I adored this session. We met out on property in Toutle where they keep their horse. It was a beautiful setting complete with a creek, barns, lots of land, and plenty of horses. It’s always so fun to do sessions in new places!!

I grew up out in the country (in Castle Rock) and every time I get out on a farm,  it makes me miss “home.” I will always be a country girl at heart even though I live in the middle of Longview now. Someday I hope to have land again. For now I’ll just live vicariously through others when I’m on photo sessions (it’s the next best thing!).

Enjoy the quick sneak peak!!

love this family!!

check out those cute teeth!! Oh my goodness!!

perfect.

LOVE that barn

my fav!!

family hug (second favorite)

and finally, the Christmas card I would do if I were them!

(LOVE my new cards I’m offering for 2009. I will be blogging about these next week!!)

When Ashley first booked me for her September wedding, little Ellie was just a tiny little baby. Now as the date comes closer to their big day, she’s grown so much and the love between their family has grown as well. Little Ellie has such spunk and she reminds me so much of my own little guy. Making funny faces and laughing. She is a pure delight!

They are getting married September 19th, 2009 at the Lewis River Golf course. From what Ashley tells me about her plans, it’s going to be an absolutely beautiful event. I can’t wait!!!!

Thanks for trusting me to do your photos. You were such fun to work with. I hope you love these images as much as I do!

The one on the right is my FAVORITE!!! I should post it bigger so you can see them laughing at each other. Beautimus!!!

how incredibly beautiful are they?!!!!

Perfect family.
