Aric & Carissa are Engaged!

Aric & Carissa are full of fire enough to last them forever!  I had such a  blast with this couple.  We laughed and laughed.  The weather turned out great for us too.  It looked like there was rain coming but it held off enough for us to get some great pictures!

We went to American Legion Park in Everett, WA.  I had no idea what a treasure this place was.  Check it out for yourself!

Congrats Aric & Carissa!

Love her facial expression in the above picture!

Hana

We (as in the whole family) have been praying for this family and this miracle of a little girl for quite awhile now!  We are so thrilled to have her finally home in her parents arms where she belongs!

“Children are an heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” Psalm 127:3

Hana is from Ethiopia and she now has the best parents that she could have ever asked for.  The Lord has blessed all of us as her family to be able to know her.

Doug and Jill I just want to say how thrilled I was to be able to take your family photos!  Such an awesome moment for you guys.  You are such a beautiful family and I can’t wait to shoot many more sessions!!  I love you three!!!

May the Lord continue to bless you!

Baby Penny

I had such a great time with this family a few weeks ago.  Penny was born in late March and was 3 1/2 weeks at the time of this session.  She was perfect!  She slept really well and was so easy to work with.

It was so cute… She loved hearing her daddy talk to her.  She would break out with big smiles.  I loved it!

What a joy!

Logan turns 1!!

Logan turns 1!!

It was so fun to meet up with this family a couple of weeks ago!  It had been almost a whole year since I had seen them in person!!!  Time flies by way too fast.

How do I know it had almost been a year you ask….  Well little Logan had just turned one and the last time I saw him was when he was just a few weeks old.

Logan was not quite sure of the cake that was placed in front of him.  He didn’t dig into it like I thought that he would.  He was very gentle and would just steal small little licks of frosting on his fingers.  It was really adorable!  I can’t wait to see this family again!

Priceless!

I just loved this session!!  At just 10 days old baby Hosea was such a good little guy for me and his momma.  He slept most of the time except of course between poses.  At the end he was telling me to go home. ;)

This family is very dear to me and they have been through a lot to be able to have this little guy.  May God continue to bless them!  I am truly blessed to be able to be apart of this family’s life!

David and Brittany Get Hitched!

I am so excited to finally get to post some of these pictures from a wedding that I was the third shooter for back on Saturday, February 25th this year.  DreamLight Photos asked me to join them for the event and I was honored to do so!

The couple David and Brittany are so beautiful and so was their wedding!  It was cute little ceremony with a fabulous reception following.  The food was to die for too, especially the dessert from Lady Yum!!

I hope you all enjoy the photos as much as I did taking them!

Easter is almost here!

Easter is almost here!

The sun was shining and I couldn’t resist getting some pictures of my little one!  Being a child of a photographer she never wants to look at the camera or me for that matter when I have a camera of any kind.  But I did manage to get a few great shots.

Gosh!  I love her SO much!

The “D” Family

The “D” Family

This family holds a very special place in my heart!  I have been through a lot with “mom”.  She is one of my very best friends!  I came to know the Lord through her and I was even baptized by her on March 14th, 2004.  Very cool!!

You may have noticed that they are in a lot of my portfolio.  I just love them!!!  I thank Jesus everyday for great friends like them!

You have to love living in the northwest!  It was raining off and on the day we took these pictures.  We were so lucky to have a bit of sunshine and dry weather for a few shots.

I took these photos of this fabulous family in Renton, Washington at Gene Colon Park.  I love that park!  There are so many photo opportunities out there.  It is especially beautiful in the summer when everything is in full bloom!

The “T” Family

The “T” Family

What an adventurous day!  We started out by the lake in Lake Stevens and luckily found a covered spot to be able to take their pictures!  Which by the way they turned out fabulous!!

After the rain shots we went back to my home studio and took a few beautiful portraits inside…  After about 20 minutes inside the sun decided to show some love so we went back outside. :)

I had so much fun with these two!!  Very flexible and they put up with my antics!  Lol!  Thanks you two!!

I cannot wait to meet their little cutie due in April!!  You all are just going to love the ideas I have for her photoshoot!  I will give you a hint… They are a biker (motorcycle) family!  I can totally relate! So excited!

Thanks to my wonderful friend Bonnie for being my assistant!  I couldn’t have done it with out you!
