I had the honor of photographing the newest member of the Thomas Family a few weeks ago, and also got to snap a few of big sis Macey and a few of the whole fam. I had so much fun! They are such a beautiful family!
Ben and Arlene - Congrats on your newest little member, and enjoy your little sneak peek! :)

{Family} the O'Brien's

I love my family.
My sweet cousin Holly asked me to take some photos of her and her beautiful family while I was over in the Spokane area a few weekends ago. Check out her super-sweet boys, Kross and Kutter:



Sweet brothers...
My FAVORITE of the shoot...
Such a beautiful family...
I love this one of Holly and Mike. They are just SO perfect for eachother...
I LOVE how Kutter had such a firm grip on Holly's necklace while he was sleeping...
I couldn't leave Aunt Nancy out. After all, she did provide her home as our little "studio" for the photo shoot...Thanks Aunt Nancy! We love you tons!

Let me know what you think!

{Sneak Peek} the Calkin Family

I am sure you are all wondering where I find all of my absolutely gorgeous clients? Well, I find them through my gorgeous friend, Sadie. :) I know, I am one lucky girl! :)
This was the other family that I had the privilege of shooting this past Sunday! I am so crazy about that first family shot of them. I have found that some of my favorite family photos are the ones where everyone is not necessarily looking at the camera, like the one above. 
Now this one below...I just love too. I happened to notice this little quick moment where brother and sister were holding hands...melts my little heart...I am sure it will melt their mom's heart too...
Calkin's - I hope you enjoy your little sneak peek! There are many more to come very soon! Thank you so much for the opportunity to capture your beautiful family! 

{Sneak Peek} the Needham & Rodger Family






I had a blast shooting these guys on Sunday! Blake and Parker were such good little troopers even though they were both feeling a little under the weather.

Needham's and Rodger's - thanks so much for the opportunity to capture your beautiful family! I can't wait to get you the rest of the images to you soon!

{Fall Beauty} more of Mikaela...

I am so excited to post more of my "Fall Beauty", Mikaela!
Although I LOVE the first photo that I posted of her on her "Sneak Peek" post, it was not the best display of Mikaela's fun-loving and super sweet personality. These show the "true" Mikaela much better, with this one being MY favorite...







Mikaela - you are so beautiful, but more importantly, you are most beautiful on the inside! I am so thankful that God has blessed me with your wonderful friendship! I love how you make me laugh but I also love how we can have our deep heart-to-hearts too! I hope you love your photos as much as I do!
*For those of you that would like to see more, you can find them on my Facebook very soon!

{60 Years} G'ma & G'pa Kellmer

My Grandma and Grandpa Kellmer have been married now for 60 Years!

They still kiss...
and they still laugh...

Grandpa still works in his barn...
and they both still cherish their animals...


I had so much fun photographing Grandma and Grandpa this last weekend! I love them so very much, and I feel blessed to have such wonderful, Godly Grandparents!

Harvest Fun '08

I joked a few times this year that Greg and I were going to take Red to the Pumpkin Patch since all our friends seemed to be posting pics of their kids at the Patches on their blogs, but Greg was worried that Red would just pee on all the pumpkins, so... 
I decided to just take a few of him by the pumpkins on our door step. :) I think he is just adorable, don't you? :)

On Halloween night Greg and I went over to the Arnold's house to see what Levi and Greyson were going to be for the night...

Here you see Levi, one of the cutest Pirates I have ever seen...

Seriously...such a cutie!
Sadie helping Greyson into his costume...
One thirsty dino, one jealous older brother (Levi decided he wanted to be a dino too)
Dino with his daddy...
Levi getting his mustache re-applied 
(with the help of a sucker soon to follow!)
One pumpkin-sitin' Pirate...
We left the Arnold's and headed to Bellevue for dinner, but I saw this sunset on our way out of Kirkland and couldn't pass up snapping a photo (also wishing that I had a tri-pod on me too!)
After dinner in Bellevue, Greg just had to drive by his old stomping grounds, Juanita High to find out the status of the Friday night football game. You can't really see it, but this is a picture of the football field, just covered in fog...
It was a fun evening...even more fun when I realized that I was able to recover all of these photos posted, which I though I had lost. Whew!
