Karl Family: Family Fun!

Meet the Karl Family! We headed out to the Olympia State Capitol building. It was a beautiful day outside a little bit cold, but not too bad. I have known the Karl family for many years now and it's so much to watch as their daughter grows up. It is always a blast with tons of laughs when we all get together... When Diana booked the family session she stated one reason she came to me was because she felt comfortable and I truly feel that is very important to feel comfortable during your session because then you allow yourself to open up and let the true person inside shine through.








The whole family including Lilly and Chico!













There is nothing better than to see the natural reaction on a kids face! What's better than to tickle your child and hear their wonderful laugh!











If you want to see a child having fun during a photo session why not be a kid!


The smile on Hannah's face is what every Photographer wants to capture a kid having fun! You can truly see that Hannah is enjoying life at the moment..... mission accomplished!

What's even better is the smile on Chris and Diana's face as they watch the little girl have fun!

Sam & Monique: Wedding: Getting Ready!

As I promised here are some images of the girls getting ready! It was crazy to see so many girls get ready in one bathroom, but they made it work and they all looked beautiful! There was many laughs especially when everyone got creative and helped one another with hair and makeup. As the photographer of weddings you are often asked to help with getting the girls ready and help with everything from makeup to change outfit ideas. For the first time I was handed a pair of scissors and asked to help with the ribbon on each girls dress! I had to tie all the dresses the same and then cut the left over fabric off! Talk about making sure not to cut too much off! It went great and everyone was ready to head out and get started with the wedding party photo session! This is when the real fun started!

Sabrina: Maternity

I'm sure many you of you blog followers recognize Sabrina as she has made many appearance's on this blog in the past, but this time she is pregnant with her second child who is a baby boy! I love doing maternity sessions as it is always a blessing to share the personal thoughts and feelings of being pregnant. It amazed me while I was pregnant that you are growing a child inside of you and in only nine months I would be holding and sharing the responsibility's of raising a child. It was always a worry to me being pregnant of how I would protect and nurture my child's upbringing and I could only hope I could do a great job like my parents did for all 5 of us!


















Here is Sabrina and Josh's daughter Sarahann who is two years old and is going to be a big sister! Like I told sabrina atleast this time around you have another helper! Sarahann is great with babies and is always willing to help out! It will be interesting to watch as how Sarahann will react since this baby isn't her cousin, but instead your little brother!



During the photo session Sarahann did not want ANYTHING to do with mommy's belly! So we instead did some single shots of just her since she can't be left out! After she had her turn we were able to talk her into touching mommy's belly...

This image below I feel shows the emotion of Sarahann as she knows soon everything will change. You can see in her eyes she is saying " This is my mommy!"





In a few days we will continue with the maternity session of Sabrina, Sarahann and Josh!
