Kicking Off 2010!

Spring is here and it's a perfect time for photos!! I met this family, who I've known for quite awhile, at the beach for some sand-a-riffic fun. I had a blast running around with these two little guys, who definitely kept me on the run!

Thanks for letting me photograph your beautiful family, K & D!!

Welcome, Baby S!!

A good friend of mine (and fabulous hair dresser!) just had her third little one about 2 weeks ago. I couldn't let her be picture-less!!...okay, so maybe it was a ploy to meet the little man. And what a sweet guy he is!! He was a bit sleepy at first, but WIDE awake after that and seemed completely content to just sit and be sweet...until it was time for dinner, of course.

Here are two of my favorites:

Meet Kelsey!!

I was SO excited when Kelsey and her mom set up a session with me for Kelsey's senior portraits. It's been a long time, and I was quickly reminded how much I love love LOVE to do senior photos. Babies are cute and sweet, but seniors are just plain FUN. Besides, it helps when they actually want to be photographed, lol.

Anyways, I had a great time, got some great shots, and probably kept them a bit longer then they wanted to be out in the heat. Sorry guys!! I can't wait for you guys to see the rest of 'em though!!

Cousins!

This past weekend I was able to get together with a good friend of mine who always seems to come to my rescue when I need it. Her sister and nieces were in town and wanted a session of them all together and playing and just having a fun time. I'll be honest--I was a bit nervous about how I would get these images. I had visions of them all running in separate directions--crying, lol. But we had SO much fun! I busted out a bubble machine (thank heavens you guys had extra batteries and a screwdriver--thank you!!!) and we had a blast, even on the hottest day of the year.

Check out these gorgeous kids!

Don't let Miss L fool you with her seriousness here--she is a HOOT!!

Thank you K for asking me to do this while the girls were in town--I had so much fun!! :)

Meet Mr. Tieren.

I finally got to meet up with Mr. Tieren and his parents for his newborn photos. He wasn't too keen on the idea for a bit, but after a bit he warmed up to the idea and was such a sweet boy!! He was all about being outside!

Meet Mr. Owen.

One of my very good friends had a baby while I was in Washington State, but I was finally able to get my hands on baby Owen. What a sweet, handsome man he is!! And extremely alert, lol. So much for sleeping baby photos! But what a great baby! He's start to get grumpy after being layed down and would immediately quiet down when he had his momma. Watch out S, I think you've got a mama's boy there...gotta love 'em!!

Meet the Rhotens.

I had the opportunity to fly back home to Washington State for my little sister's wedding. I had a great time getting lots of images for her and K. Besides that, it was a BLAST getting to hang out with the family again and be goofy, like sisters do best.

The best part of it all was that she couldn't say "get that camera out of my face!" because I wouldn't have taken her seriously. :)

Getting ready....

Of course can't forget the family shots!

Beautiful bride on this beautiful day!!

And some couple shots:

D and K then went on their honeymoon and came back for my sister's hometown reception. I was able to snag them for some fun stuff in good ol' Q-town.

I have lots and lots more to sort through, but had to blog a few!
