This one didn’t quite turn out the way I pictured it (and maybe sometime we’ll recreate it the way it is in my mind), but after cropping it and playing with the color a little bit, I really like the wintery-passionate look it has. I love how Marissa’s hair is blowing in the wind and...

2nd Thompson shoot
So Marissa, Paul & Cooper and I met again for a second shoot last week. Our first session went rather long because we started at their house and then went to Cedarbrook, the place their wedding was held two years ago. Little Cooper had had enough by the time we started taking pictures outside in...
Snowed in
We’re totally snowed in here in the Pacific Northwest. James and I had a family weekend down in Olympia where there were 14 inches of snow (and more in some places). We drove the slippery drive home last night and I’m getting back to editing all my pictures from last week. Marissa, Paul and Cooper...
More Joss
I love Joss’ blue eyes! Meredith really likes the black and white pictures … but I had to post some here in color to share her daughter’s deep blue eyes. Joss has grown so much even in just the past couple of weeks. Meredith and I are part of a Mommy group that meets weekly...
Joss
I only have a second and I haven’t finished even going through all the pictures I took of Joss this morning, but I had to share this one. She’s laying on a special drum that belongs to her dad. Aren’t her blue eyes just so pretty? I’ll post more from today when I get home...
Paul, Marissa & Cooper
Look at this handsome boy! This is Cooper and he was a champ through a pretty long photo session this afternoon. Marissa and Paul wanted a family picture to send out with their Christmas cards and wanted to take their pictures at the place they were married. It was beautiful! They were married in January...
Nicole & Jesse
One of the things I’m most excited about is taking pictures of couples (and doing engagement portraits). Jesse and Nicole let me take a few of them after we were done getting pictures of Ashleigh and Mackenzie. They really wanted to recreate a favorite picture they had of the two of them. They wanted the...
Ashleigh & Mackenzie, Part II
I love these! The girls were more than willing to climb some trees and it helped me make the perfect pictures! When I give my clients their pictures, they get all the originals plus all my edited images. That means that if I change a picture to black and white, I save that as a...
Ashleigh & Mackenzie, Part I
This is the first of three posts I’m going to do about my most recent shoot. I have lots of pictures to share from this afternoon. I was lucky enough to get to take pictures of two of the cutest little girls I have ever seen. Ashleigh (8) and Mackenzie (5) were so energetic and...
My practice model
I’m having so much fun with my camera. I feel like we have an entirely new relationship. Like I KNOW HOW SHE WORKS NOW! We know how to work together to get the pictures we’ve been wanting for years. I also have learned a bunch more about PhotoShop and it is really helping me to...
