Off to Airforce Training

The Ball Family

This is one of those very special portraits, because it commemorates a young man, going off to be a hero. Tenna called me last week, and asked me if I could come out on short notice to take a family portrait, because her son Kemp was going off to Air force school next week. I was happy to find that we both had a day available that worked for all of us, and scheduled the session.

Of course this being Washington, there is just no telling what the weather will do, and so it was raining all day long. On my way to their house, where we took their beautiful portraits, I prayed for enough of a break in the rain to be able to photograph their session. God is good. He let up on the rain, just long enough for us to take some beautiful portraits around their gorgeous property. I am quite pleased with how they came out.

Many of you may not know this, but you don't have to be afraid to book your outdoor portraits because of the weather. Some of the best, and most flattering lighting, is when it is cloudy or overcast out. You don't have to wait for a bright, sunny day to have your portraits taken. Regardless of the weather, book your outdoor portraits.

This, I suppose, is a good time to announce my Summer Special. I am offering a free 11x14 with an outdoor portrait session until July 31st. This is an awesome savings. Not to mention outdoor portraits are so much fun. So call now before it's too late, and book your session. These outdoor session make beautiful Christmas cards too. "Now that's thinking ahead..."

New Year in the Life Members

I want to introduce you to my latest "Year in the Life" family. So you should be seeing a lot of this family over the next year. And I am so excited to be able to get to know them and their beautiful little girls.

The Orser Family from Port Orchard

These adorable little girls are so photogenic, and have amazing eyes and eye-lashes. Their smiles light up the room, and the camera seem to love them. Their sweet disposition can be seen thru their pictures. I can't wait to take our next session at their home on the farm, with their new Lab puppy. Keep posted to see those in a few months.

Baby Grace

I wanted to show off some pictures of the beautiful new baby I photographed this weekend.

Presenting "Baby Grace".

Congratulations Adam and Ondreya, on your new adorable little angel.

She is amazing and beautiful. So bright and alert. You can see her little face light up when she sees mom and dad. She surprised me with BIG smiles at only 4 weeks old.

These were a few of my favorites from the session. I can't wait to show you the rest.

Oh wow... I've been busy

I know it's been a-while since I've posted. Sorry...

Hubby's been working out of town for 2 weeks now, and won't be home till next Friday. Makes for a hectic time here with two rowdy little boys.

We did have him home for the three day weekend though. It was so nice. We took a camping trip to Neah Bay. Very nice and peaceful weekend. Just the family and the dogs. We flew a kite at the beach. Ate Wall-eye that Dave caught after work in South Dakota, and went scavenging on the beach for cool little critters. Oh yeah, and hiked up to the Marymere water falls. So pretty...

Here's a few pictures from our trip and one of Vinny graduating from pre-school. He going to be a big Kinder-gardener this fall. Wow. I'll post some new pictures of a baby I photographed this weekend soon. You'll recognize mom. She was posted not to long ago with her cute little tummy.

Check in soon...

Congratulations Emily

This is a big Congrats... to Emily. She was the lucky winner of a free 11x14 and session, for entering into the "Year in the Life Album" contest at Garden Baby Boutique in Port Orchard. Plus she still has a chance to win the big prize. "The Year in the Life Album" this fall.

Emilies kids were a blast to photograph. Her little boy has the coolest blue eyes ever and her little girl is just as sweet as could be. Not to mention the new baby, only 6 weeks old. So tiny still. I love those precious little ones.

This is only a sneak peek of the session, but you can see her favorite hanging in the Garden Baby Boutique for the next month, until our next LUCKY WINNER gets her picture hung up there. If you haven't entered the contest yet, there is still time. Go to Garden Baby Boutique and put your entry in.

Amanda's Album

I know I already posted a few pictures of Amanda, but I just finished her album that she ordered of her senior portraits, and I think it came out pretty cute. So I thought I'd share.

Gina and ALL her girls

It was a chilly morning, and a little bit drizzly, but we toughed it out, and it was worth it.

This is Gina, and her 5 girls, plus a couple with Grandma too. What a beautiful locations to take pictures. The girls all look so tropical in their beautiful sun dresses, with their peticures. You would never know that it was only 45 degrees out and about to pour on us. HAHA. The narrows makes a great backdrop for portraits.

Gina, these pictures make me want to go to the Islands... I can't wait for some warm summer days :). Thank you so much for calling me and having me take your portraits again. It's been a pleasure. I can't wait to see the two new babies, we'll have to schedule another session next summer with the whole family again including the 4 grandkiddies.
