I did a maternity session in Yakima about a month ago and was able to return to do a newborn session!  It’s a boy and he’s a cutie pie!

Here he is!  Baby boy Carter.

Much thanks to the Heintz-Russell family for your graciousness.  I had so much fun with you all for both the maternity/family and newborn/family sessions.  I can’t wait to see you all again!

P.S.  Thanks to my wonderful second assistant, Andrea too!

I was able to photograph some really cute kiddos the other day.  Amy & her kids were in town visiting and she wanted a quick mini-shoot.  I can’t believe how much they have grown!  We met at a local wildlife reserve for a great time!  It was hot, windy and everyone’s allergies were in full effect but we still managed to get some adorable photos!

Here’s Amy’s little girl, Hayden, in a teacup.  Look at the rolls on this girl.  So cute!

Amy’s son, Austin.  All boy & just loved playing in the rocks and dirt!

Amy’s friend, Britanny came as well.  Here’s Britanny’s little guy sporting a cowboy hat.  Yeehaw!  :)

Just one last one of the best buds showing the love.  Aww!

I found this gem of a photo location the other day.  It’s the Tualatin Wildlife Refuge on 99W.  A gorgeous and peaceful place.  I had a session there with three little sisters.  I’ve known their mom since before Malia was born.

Here’s the oldest girl, Caitlyn.  All of them had gorgeous smiles!

We found a nice field of daisies and made the most of it!  Here’s the middle sister Kya.

And the baby, Kami.  They all looks so different yet they all have the beautiful features their mommy has.

My favorite shot of the day. Probably my most adored sibling shot.

We caught sunset at the perfect time. Thank you Andrea and girls for a lovely afternoon of memories!

I had a 6 month photo session with little Gwen and a 4 year photo session with Jeff. It’s so fun to see them grow up! Here’s Jeff giving me a nice smile.

We drove up to Yakima last weekend to take pictures of a lovely and lively family! They have two kids, a little girl and a toddler boy. They’re expecting another boy any day now!

Here they are! Aren’t they cute! It’s so hard to take a picture and have them all look at you but I tell ya, my Sully pez dispenser on my camera works every time!

April 15, 2008

Three little girls. Two of them, Kendall & Karis, sisters. Two of them, Kayla & Kendall best friends. We met at a little park smack dab in the middle of parking lots and business offices. But there were pretty waterfalls, nice trees and cute ducks & geese!! It was so fun!! Here are my favorite three from the session.

Karis giving me a sweet look while holding her baby doll.

The Hughes Family

April 14, 2008

An adorable young family with a spunky little guy and sweet 2 month old girl. I met them at a nearby park and hit it off with the momma from the start. Don’t you just love it when that happens?! The daddy is in the military and just came back from 8 month tour of duty in Iraq. He leaves again for another 8 months. Talking about it brings tears to my eyes yet again. Oh what these men, women and families do for our country. Never forget to thank a soldier and his or her family. They are brave brave people.

Here’s one of the whole family. Had to get on top of the ladder and reach for this one! :)
sweet family

Oh my goodness, these two are so sweet!!

One more of the baby girl and her momma. I LOVE this one!
kisses

You might remember this family from Fall of last year. I had fun taking pictures of the girls in pettiskirts at the park. They picked flowers, ran around the park with me, so so very sweet personalities.

Here’s Hannah. Such a sweetheart right? I bet with that look she can get anything she wants. ;)

And Abby, the big sister. She has a beautiful smile and calm temperament.
