Flower girl
Posted on January 17, 2010
Do you remember as a kid, picking flowers and pulling the petals off, one-by-one? There is just something intrinsic about that memory. And that memory always reminds me of this picture:

She was just so captivated by those bright yellow daisies!

The Welsh Family
Posted on December 9, 2009
The Welsh family and I met on a VERY cold saturday morning recently. They braved the cold temps as we all tried to visualize sitting on a warm beach somewhere. Thankfully this family was so easy to photograph that we were able to buzz right through our shoot and still come out with so many beautiful shots that as I go though them in the editing process I just keep finding new favorites! But how could I not with three daughters as photogenic as this:




Stephanie said her and Bryon didn’t have many good pictures of the two of them. I am pretty confident they do now:

You can see where the girls get their good looks from!
There are several fantastic holiday family portraits that I can’t wait to share, but they will have to wait until a later posting so the Welsh family has a chance to get their cards out in the mail. I don’t want to ruin the surprise for their recipients!
Bryon, Stephanie, Sydnee (isn’t that the coolest spelling?!?!), Grace, & Chloe: Thank you for a fun and sometimes silly (think bathrooms are closed for the winter signs) morning! I hope you made it over to Sisters bakery and enjoyed some gooodies and defrosted with hot chocolate & coffee! Wishing you all the merriest of Christmas’s!

The eyes have it

You may remember this cutie from his one year & family portrait session. Being as his family and mine are good friends, we see each other often. I got this shot yesterday after the Sister’s Christmas parade. His eyes really are gorgeous!

No-No
Posted on November 29, 2009
My third born is about to turn 3!!! You may wonder at the title of this post. His name is Noah, a name I love, but he can’t yet pronounce it, so it comes out as “No-No”. His self assigned nickname is as fitting as his given name, being as he is quite the mischievious little guy! The meaning of Noah is Hebrew and means “wandering rest” which he lives up to also!
Happy 3rd birthday Noah, I love you!

Sweet
Posted on November 6, 2009
When I snapped this picture, I knew immediately that I would love it – and I was right. It is immensely sweet and tender. I can totally see this as a canvas 10×10. Wow.

Little “C’ was very curious. I told her Dora was in the camera, so she leaned in to see
Isn’t she cute?

… and the family:

Thank you Ferminia, Justin, & “C’ for a fun session!

An amazing family!
Posted on October 18, 2009
Today I had the pleasure of photographing the wonderful Meves family. When Stephanie and I first arranged this session about a month ago and she told me she had twins, I was so excited! Well, I was excited to meet the whole family, but this was my first time photographing twins. They were ADORABLE! Not to be outdone was big brother, Cankuna, who was a complete natural in front of the camera. We shot at lovely Drake Park where the fall colors were in full bloom. Despite the threat of rain, the weather held out for us, whew! Being a mom myself, I’m no stranger to chasing children around, but twins is a whole different ball game. The most important thing I discovered about this fantastic family is how much they love each other, and how well they all work together.
Thank you Meves family for spending the afternoon with me and allowing me to capture your beautiful family!
Let’s start with mom & dad:

Big Brother, Cankuna:

Sisters, Suzette & MaryJane:

The entire family:

Posted on October 17, 2009
Almost a year ago our fourth child was born. She is a petite little girl with beautiful blue eyes who loves to snuggle and babble. As most parents understand, the past year has flown by. We can’t wait to continue watching her grow and learn and change.
We love you Aria! Happy 1st birthday!
