Snow Day

We were so excited to get "R" out to play in the snow. We got the boots, snow pants, puffy jacket, gloves, and hat. We got all the gear, suited her up, and ran outdoors for some fun in the snow. Let's just say she wasn't as excited as Mom and Dad. BUT, she did think it was really funny when Mama threw a snow ball at Daddy..... so, I threw another. I think we'll try again tomorrow.

Whose running this show?

I loved this session for all the behind the scene's action. Meet Miss "R". She is the daughter of my families hair stylist, Mama "J". We've known "J" since my mom was pregnant with me, many years. Needless to say, I've watched "R" grow up and what beauty she has become.

Mama "J" calls me and asks if I can get a picture of her daughter in her Dorthy costume with their Scottie dog. She explains that she wants an image just like the one she has of her daughter and Scottie from 7 years ago. It was a darling portrait of a sweet little girl and her puppy. Well, this little girl has grown up and has quite a few opinions herself. I show-up ready to take a traditional portrait and "R" explains she wants to go outside on the railroad tracks. And, as any 16 year old, she wants to look pretty not cute. So.....

This is what we got for Mom:



This is meeting in the middle:




She is such a young beauty, I had to get some headshots.....

Thanks R and J!

A face anyone can love...

Meet sweet "C"..... isn't she beautiful! I had the pleasure of photographing this little girl a few days ago. She was a dream to work with. I can't wait to work with this wonderful family again!

Sweet dreams....

This sweet, sweet newborn was so wonderful to work with. He is the second son of a good girlfriend of mine. I met her at Mom's group when I had my daughter. I found many wonderful friendships at Mom's group and I love every one of them. This is the first "second" child for anyone in our group, making this session very special to me. He's so sweet and squishy!

Shooting for fun....

Darcie and her kiddos came out with me for an afternoon of shooting. They were gracious enough to be my Guinea pigs for the day. I wanted to get a little practice in before my September sessions and they were perfect. We played at few locations and had fun. After all was said and done, we stopped for some ice cream. Thanks again for hangin' with me!

TSW final

My final post from the workshop. This was, in all, an amazing milestone on my path of all things photography. It was so fulfilling to be with other people as passionate as I am and all of us deeply immersed in to the wonderful world of photography.

Cheryl's babe and a soda pop. She was so cute!

The Secret Workshop continued...

Cheryl conducted a small newborn shoot at the WS. The Mom and babe were so beautiful. It was amazing to watch Cheryl work with the baby. I was so inspired. Luckily, I was sitting close enough to snag a few shots of my own.

The Secret Workshop

I had the privilege of attending "The Secret Workshop" in Seattle with Cheryl Muhr this weekend. She is one of the top industry professionals for photography and an incredible women. She taught us a lot with so much compassion and energy. She was very warm, encouraging, and an open book. I'm so happy I made the decision to go. I have already benefited so much from her and all her knowledge. Thank you Cheryl!

We had a free shooting portion to the workshop. There were so many models to work with. I was able to implement what I had learned. The models were fabulous! Not to mention Cheryl and here sweet babe (first photo below).... beautiful!

A Fun Family Session

This is a recent session with some family friends of ours. The "D" family has two adorable, lively girls, "K" and "C". We started the shoot with bubbles and ended with chalk. I had so much fun shooting "K", as she was such a great little poser. I love "C's" bright eyes, I couldn't get enough of them. Thanks "D" family for such a fun session!
