{Thankful}

November 28, 2008

Thank you to all of my {WONDERFUL} friends, family, clients, and blog-followers. :)  I’ve been so blessed this year and I can’t express how good it’s been being surrounded by so many friendly, supportive, and just all around awesome people!

Speaking of awesome people – I recently did a session with my good friend Beth!  They have an amazingly creative family and are just beautiful inside as well as out!  Her daughter has a modeling gene I think and her son was very creative helping to think up the shadow stuff!  Looooovve it!!!

A {CUTE} little fur baby!

November 26, 2008

I’m deep in the middle of my busy season getting everything ordered, packaged up and ready to send out for the holidays.  Thank you to all my wonderful clients for being extra patient with me this time of year.  I seem to work loongg hours and look forward to mid December when I can spend more time with my family and enjoy the holiday season.  And perhaps make my own holiday cards too. :)

But I still need to find time to post here and update my blog! I love showing off all my cute clients! This one is expecially cute!! He was full of energy and I really enjoyed this session!!  Thanks Ava and Jake!!  Ava is a wonderful hair designer at Farouche Salon in Redmond.  It’s difficult to squeeze in to make an appointment with her. There is a reason for that! Thanks for the great haircuts and colors over the last few years Ava!

No Phone Service…

November 24, 2008

Just a heads up.  I woke up this morning to a broken cell phone.  Wouldn’t you believe that my warranty expired just one week ago!!!  (argh!) and they wanted me to pay full retail price for a new one (If I were more paranoid I would think this was intentional!) .   I ended up extending my contract and a phone replacement is on it’s way.  In the meantime,  I’m without a phone for a few days while I wait for a new one to arrive.  If you need to reach me, the best way is to send an email and I’ll be sure to call you right back on my land-line.

I used sprint for years and even though the signal was always bad, at least their customer service was very good. At&t…well, they have very limited options for working this out.  I’m just hoping I don’t have to wait as long as she told me it would take to ship me the new one.

Another {beautiful} family!

I just finished working on this session and have so many favorites!! It was really hard to pick some to show here.

Sarah and Doug – thank you for sharing your sweet, sweet family with me!! Farrel McWhirter park was a fantastic location and I had a lot of fun hanging out with your family that day!

Studio {mini} Sessions!

November 18, 2008

These cute kiddo’s took part in a rare chance for studio mini sessions!  I had so much fun with these little ones.   There is something about the simplicity of children only with studio work to focus only on the child… I love it!

I love seeing the newborns I photograph grow into these cuties!  Look at their sweet smiles now. :)

Sometimes here in Washington we have to deal with the rainy weather.  Luckily this beautiful family were still on despite the weather! The colors were so beautiful this year, especially on that day.  The leaves were everywhere!!  They are all cleaned up now and I’m missing them already.

Carmen and Jeff- your family is beautiful!!

Come check out the Fall Event at Green Lake Community Center (see flyer posted below) – the first 150 people get a free pair of babylegs. How cool is that??   Hope you can come check it out on Sunday November 9th from 10-2 this weekend.  Stop by my table to view my work, product samples, and pick up a certificate for 30% off plus a free gift with a winter/spring session in 2009!  Hope to see you there!!

Here are a few images from a project I worked on with some of the business in the group this year. Aren’t these kids the cutest?  I love how patriotic this one is!  Makes me proud that I just voted!!
