Even though I’ve got several sneak peeks to post on here (they are coming - promise!!)  I couldn’t go without posting a little note about the first day of school.  Today we sent off my youngest to kindergarten (sniff sniff), and the other into 2nd grade. It’s strangely quiet around here and I feel a little weird today all alone. I’m sure I’ll get used to it.  Everyone keeps asking me what I’m going to do now that both of my kids are in school full time.  Well, one thing I *am* looking forward to is getting my nights back!!  I can work during regular daytime hours again - yipee!!!  And maybe the house might stay a little cleaner?  One can only hope.  I’m also very blessed that I am able to own this wonderful business and have my own flexible schedule which allows me to be home when my kids need me and volunteer at their school.

Here they are - off to school this morning!!  Aren’t they the cutest??  I’m just a little bit biased I know.  {smile}

Uh oh….  I don’t think her teacher knows what she’s in for.   My goofball! 

Nina, you are absolutely beautiful!!

and will be held in early October - dates are still undecided but check back soon for the new dates to be announced soon!

I’ve had several emails asking if we will be doing mini’s in the fall. This is turning out to be a busy weekend for everyone at the end of the summer and getting ready for back to school. Everyone who is signed up will be offered a first chance to pick a new time! If you have signed up and would prefer this weekend, we can arrange to meet at Idylwood Park in Redmond to conduct the session.

We photographed this cute little guy on Saturday in the hot hot weather - perfect for infant photography because they love it warm and cozy. He was such a dream to photograph too!

And we can’t forget their little doggy! She’s so cute too.

Thank you so much Paige and Micheal for sharing your little one with me for a little bit.

My good friend Misty Cato is a very talented digiscrapper and designer (Misty’s Blog) scrapped her little girl using one of the photo’s she received from the Green Halloween Photosession (all of the models received a complimentary digital file in exchange for modeling for us) and she made the {sweetest} layout with it!! I just had to share this here.

I wish I could do more beach sessions after this one. It’s absolutely beautiful at this location. I was lucky to have a chance to do this session last weekend while I camped with my family and church at Camp Casey.

We enjoyed the beautiful evening light just before sunset and the weather cooperated -which was great! Liana and Eric - hope you enjoyed your session!! Here’s a sneak peek for you!

And if you are a senior looking for senior pictures - don’t forget to peek at the News and Specials tab at the top of this blog and look for my {bring a freimnd) special going on right now!

Just a little sneak peek before I go off on a much needed camping trip with my family tomorrow!!  I can’t wait!!  I’ll be back on Monday morning. 

I had such a nice time photographing these little ones on their property in Woodinville.  It’s so beautiful there.  I love the forest and surrounding green-everything that day, with a little tiny peek of Sunshine!

Austina and Erik - thank you for having me over! Here’s a little peek of your cute family!!

{M} with her impressive rock collection!

I just HAD to post a picture of the adorable little {M}!!  She was one of the models in the Green Halloween Photoshoot last month, and oh my goodness I can’t get enough of her!!  We were all bedazzled by her cuteness - Misty - thank you so much for sharing her with me that day.

And I have to share the story behind this costume.  It was one of the first costumes I have ever made and actually one of the first things I’ve ever sewn since, oh, let’s see…. Jr. High School sewing class I think!  LOL.  (fur hides a lot of bad stitching!)   So it was so sweet to see this little one wearing it and of course, the fringe adds so much to it.  I think I’ll save this costume for a little longer.  I knew there was a reason I kept it so long…

More of adorable {M} in a princess costume…

It’s hard to believe it’s August already and only one month of summer left! Ack!  July went by far too quickly.  August will too I’m sure.   SO, with that said,  there are only a few dates available left in August and starting to book September.  Be sure to call ahead to get your session scheduled this fall before it’s too late!

And if you just need a quick session to capture a milestone or don’t need a full session, be sure to sign up for a mini-session at Tot Spot Cafe held on August 22 and 23rd!

So on to the sneak peek!

Had a really fun family session at this park.    The weather was absolutely beautiful that day - perfect filtered light that evening.  And this family was equally as beautiful - and fun too!!!

On the beach with the {sweet} light.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
