canucks

we wish we lived closer to this lovely family. we only get to see them once every few years, and only because they make the sacrifice to drive to see us. and we are so lucky. we love them so much. and miss them just as much.
so, mike and tina, when will we get to see you next? when you're moving stateside? :D



they were the ones who suggested standing like the bars of service on your cell phone. or stairs. by age. so fun.

tyler • senior

this session was so fun. i really enjoyed myself.
this senior was great. and by that i mean that he was willing to do whatever i asked, and acted like he was ok with it. he even had a little fun while we were on the session. i might show a couple of those fun shots. hope you're ok with that, tyler.
so, on to his photos...
















and here are two of those fun photos, as promised. but there were more...

bailey • freshman

bailey is tyler's brother. it was just as easy taking photos of him as it was his older brother.





even though we only got a few photos of him, i think he did really well and got some good shots that i hope his mom will like.

i'm back

can you tell? i may be posting a bit more often once i can get this new school year's schedule down. oh, and 3 in soccer. and scouts. and other stuff i am sure i am forgetting.
but i am back. and thank you everyone for your patience!!!

kerri • expecting

this stunning mom is a good friend of a good friend.
we went to the botanical gardens and it was so beautiful outside. i worried that it was going to be a bit chilly, after all it was the beginning of april, but it was warm. sunny. just wonderful for photos. or anything outside. and can you believe this mom thinks she isn't photogenic?
i will argue with her until i am blue in the face. she is a natural.

declan's family

this family is so cute. i know, that sounds like a word for little kids. but can i use it for this family? just this once. i mean it in the best way. the way that means adorable, delightful, lovable, sweet... the best way and ways cute can be taken. for a family. for a baby boy. for a mom. for a dad. the best way possible. promise.
so, that's what they are. cute.
sorry, zach.
the parents are both so very nice. all the time. i haven't ever seen nikky without a smile and a nice thing to say. and declan has to be the sweetest little guy. he is always happy. (right, nikky?) even when he was done at the end of the session, he was happy. tired, but happy. oh, and zach is great too. i don't want to leave him out. he is always pleasant and personable and was so eager and willing. which is always refreshing.

so, thank you guys for a wonderful session, even though we might have been less hot and miserable in a sauna. in our winter coats. and snow pants. okay, okay, and a rabbit fur hat. and a scarf.


see what i mean? cute. for nikky, cute=gorgeous.

so behind...

well, i am so very backed up on posting. but being gone for most of the summer just might be the cause. and i am still gone. it is strange how fast it has all happened. this summer flew by. crazy fast.

but, i will get back to posting some photos from my favorite sessions. wait, did i say favorite? yes, i did. but you know what? each of the sessions i have done has been a favorite in some way. something sets each session apart and makes it my favorite. so, if i tell you your session was my favorite, i am being honest. seriously. i have loved all of the sessions i have done. each one is unique in it's own way. and maybe working with wonderful people is all the difference.

i can't help looking at all the faces that have come into my life and feel a strong connection to each. a very dear bond that i feel when i look at them through the camera and see just what beautiful, wonderful people they each are. you are. it is a very different feeling. i can't describe it. but it's great. awesome.

so a big thanks to each of you. each of the amazing families, couples and individuals i have worked with this past year! it has been so much fun for me, and i hope you have something you will love for years to come.
