A year went by SO fast! | Redmond Family Photographer
June 25, 2009Gosh it seems like just yesterday I photographed the {K} family! Time goes by way too quickly for me these days. I need to slow it down. {insert wish here} What a beautiful day it turned out to be at Idylwood park! I was happy that we were able to be warm enough so they could wear their super cute dresses without getting cold. Thanks Jennifer and Mark for asking me to capture your sweet girls again this year. I looked forward to it. I’m glad I didn’t move to Portland after all.

Happy {Fathers} Day!
June 21, 2009It’s a little late, fathers day is almost over… but better late than never! We had a busy day filled with family time and just hanging out, doing a lot of the things we normally do at home. My daughter who just graduated from kindergarten had a fun Guess Who Book for my husband to read through and guess which drawing and a list of facts were written by my daughter about him…
“My dad is a man. He likes to work. My dad has brown hair. He likes to play with me.” LOL, not this one but it could be!
“Has brown hair. He likes to play checkers with me. He reads books with me. Every food is is favorite food.” Nope… but he did like this one.
“His hair blew away. He juggles oranges. He is sweet. He wears green everyday. I like him.” Awwww… That’s him! And we always laugh that she thinks his hair blew away in the wind!!!! hehehe.
Watching my husband helping the kids to ride and feel a little more confident on their bikes made me realize what a great guy I have here in helping with the kids and in so many other ways too! Hope all of you had a wonderful Fathers day - if it was your first or 20th!
Jana Kunz: That is such a cute photo. :)
Oh the fun photographing I, M, and tiny S! {I} was in love with being in front of the camera (I could have photographed her all day), and the camera adored her! {M} was a little reluctant but he sure came around when we played the binky game - pop it out- pop it in -pop it out - pop it in! what a handsome little man. And sweet baby S was happy to sleep through the chaos! But SOOOO cute Kiersten and Guttorm!!! It was great seeing you all again!!!

May is such a beautiful month to photograph in with the blooms all over!!! It’s not hard to find a blooming bush to lighten and brighten up a background!
I have photographed little miss N-bug since she was a wee little one. Look how much she’s grown, now 4! I love her sweet little smiles.
And her little brother Z-man had climbed into the drawer in the bathroom to get to some toys. It was hilarious catching him in there!
Jana Kunz: I love that 1st and 2nd image, wonderful color.

Birthday Girl!
May 26, 2009In just 1 hour, my daughter will be 8! Eight! Yikes. Time goes by way too fast. In a *rare* moment of cooperation she donned her favorite dress and let me take a few pictures of her in this fabulous field in Redmond. I’m sad to report they have since mowed it and all the buttercups! Still a great spot but the tall grass was so nice and green. Sigh….
Here she is! Usually she’ll give me a “are we done yet” look right from the get-go, or stick her tongue out at me. Typical photographers daughter sort of stuff. But I guess she’s growing up and it’s bittersweet to see her get older - I’m sure we all feel that way watching our kids grow.
Happy Birthday!! I Love you!!
Kathryn: sweet pictures!
Carley Mac: she's beautiful :) lovely photos
Jana Kunz: What a sweetie pie - these are beautiful.
Jen: Oh sweet, sweet girl!! These are beautiful. She is gorgeous Holli. And such great taste in clothes! Love her dress. Love that close up in the field, just beautful! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to both of you!
Grandma: I LOVE my sweet granddaughter! So big!
Kimberly Whipps: She is beautiful! Wondeful work...
