Boys.

Boys will be boys! But we wouldn’t have them any other way….or would we?

Simply Family

July 13, 2010

This was such a super fun family to work with, there were 3 generations of family at this shoot, and the grandparents were such a hoot. Their Grandpa being quite the character with his stolen kisses from his sweetheart of over 50 years….can you believe it…what an inspiration. And their sweet lil girl was just gorgeous, seriously seriously gorgeous with those big blue eyes and sweet face. And the lil man was awesome, he could model for Jcrew….And of course can’t forget the mom and dad of this crew. A completely wonderful pair.

Model worthy

Seriously model worthy. I cannot wait to have a warm, beautiful day to cash in the raincheck!

Sometimes on days like these, i think i must have the best job in the world. I get to drive to a photoshoot with Mount Ranier in view. Which is/was breathtaking. ( so much so, i was very very tempted to keep going, and spend the rest of the day hiking on trails, photographing landscapes, and being at peace, luckily for my family i decided to come home.) I get to meet cool/beautiful/awesome people. Such as Martha and Daryl and their gorgeous lil ones. I get front row tickets to a piano concert by the cutest lil girl ( who also had eyes only for her daddy, who was cheering her on), i get to capture beautiful moments of Mother and son. Father and daughter.  I get to capture families.  See, days like these are why i do what i do!

Thank you for the piano concerts, hayrides and  spectacular scenery. But most importantly thank you for  letting me spend the day with you.

The boys are back…..

February 3, 2010

This day was several weeks in the making, after 2 rained out sessions…we had to get creative….and be ready for a day with sun. I am so so glad that the weather decided to cooperate with us, because these 3 boys were so awesome to not only meet, but work with. They were boys thru and thru, wild, karate chopping lil men who had eyes so blue i think the oceans would be jealous. I know i am.  I loved the locale that i had chosen for this group because it worked so well….i thought boys would  love a run-down building, i was surprised when the oldest boy asked me: ” this is where we are going to shoot” with wide deer in the head light eyes…like are you serious lady….then looked to mom for reassurance. I wish i had my camera out then. They sure did warm up to it quickly though…running and jumping, wielding sticks with knightly moves, and teaching me a thing or two about what i have in store for me, when my lil 2 year old gets a lil older….and i cant wait. These boys seriously made my day, my week…probably my year. Mr. A you totally rock. Mr. C i think you have perfected the James Dean cool guy look. And Mr I, you are just way too cute for words….and did i mention these boys and there blue eyes.  Thank you Ariana for introducing me to your awesome men…

Sweet lil M

February 1, 2010

This was the perfect session. The whole week before was rain and more rain. I woke up that morning to cloudy skies. And immediately  started hoping. wishing. praying  for a break in the weather, for beautiful sun rays to appear…and  my hopes, prayers and wishes were answered. As i drove to their house, the clouds parted, the sun began to peak through. And all i could think was….yes. yes. yes. ( and of course a huge thank you) The drive was beautiful…the morning was beautiful…..and this family was beautiful. The T family was just so loving, so caring towards one another that there inner light just came shining through. Mom was so patient, and ever so sweet trying to help her beautiful lil one fall asleep, i have a picture of her holding her, sshhhhing as if it were a lullaby, while Dad and Mr.M patiently waited for there turn and watched Curious George. ( i so heart Curious George.) Of course that sweet lil lady, had other plans than to sleep while we took pictures. ( already starting to voice her preferences) And she sure made us work for every shot…but it was well worth it. She is such a sweet lil girl. We ended the session outside, letting Mr.M get out some of that 2 year old  energy, not to mention mom and dad…..and wouldn’t you know it….lil miss M decided to sleep. Thank you Stephanie for introducing me to this beautiful family. And thank you Mike and Kristin for letting me into your world for a brief moment to capture you in photos.
