Jevin & Andrea: Wedding Photography Tri-Cities Washington

You couldn't ask for a more perfect day here in Tri-Cities. Light breeze, amazing skies, and Andrea and Jevin were such a fun and easy going couple. If I had tried to count the number of kisses they gave each other through out the wedding day it would have been in the hundreds. Likewise, if I had to name all the new dance moves I witnessed that night......not sure I could. Im pretty sure some of them were invented right there on the spot. We wish Andrea and Jevin all the happiness they can hold, and just like the song Jevin sang to Andrea that night. We hope their love comes "Easy like a Sunday Morning" always and forever!

Russ & Laura: Port Angeles Wedding, Washington Photography

My daughter and husband did the whole "Forks Twilight" tour a year ago.She has read the Twilight books about eight times each and had to see the mother land first hand. When they returned they told me how beautiful the area was. I vowed if I ever had the chance I wanted to go and see it for myself. To my great excitement, I received a call from a relative about the need for a photographer for their sons wedding in Port Angeles! Are you kidding, I'm in! I took the whole family and we spent a couple of days enjoying the sights. I took my first ferry ride, had a raccoon run at me, and enjoyed lots of sightseeing including the "All Things Twilight" store. It was great, I loved the area and hope to go back again sometime. I was able to shoot Russ and Laura's wedding. She is from Port Angeles, and what a sweet and loving bride and groom. I wished I had more time to just spend with both of them but the timeline was a bit tight so I had to take what I could get. It was wonderful seeing our cousins again, and the weather was so awesome, no rain at all! A very rare thing for two days in a row.

Russ and Laura thank you for being so willing to do whatever crazy thing I asked, including trekking down the hillside in high heels and risking getting a little dirty. Hopefully the dress and shoes cleaned up OK, I always feel its worth the risk since your pictures last forever!














You can see in it's eyes it wants me for dinner!

Ritchie Family: Tri-Cities Photography, Richland

I think it should be illegal for one family to have so many adorable and handsome young men! The Ritchie's are such a sweet family and I just love spending time with them. This is the second time Ive been blessed to shoot them. The first time was in their home and remains one of my fondest photography memories.

You would think with this many young men mom would be worried or anxious about photos, but Rebecca is so easy going. Being around her just makes me feel calm. They have fun as a family, and were a real joy to capture. They all have such a great sense of humor. Here's to raising awesome young men, and having the time of your life doing it!

Emily Class 2010: KB Photography, Senior Photography

Emily will probably be the last senior I shoot for class of 2010. She decided to get them done after graduation. We have a certain number of seniors who do this every year. I'm so grateful that I was able to end class of 2010 with such a wonderful client. Her mother and little sister came along for support and assistance. We were literally eaten alive by a strong mass of swarming mosquito's. I hadn't packed my yearly supply of spray in my bag yet, since usually this is not a concern until later in the summer. Emily is a beautiful young lady and was so great to work with. Her mom was so thoughtful and brought me a drink and yogurt snack from McD's down the road! I just loved talking wih her little sister. I hope that someday we are lucky enough to do her senior pictures as well.

Boothe Family: Tri-Cities Photographers

Keslie and I have been so fortunate that all of our clients end up being our friends. We witness many special moments in their lives. We watch the children grow up and graduate from high school, get married, have children. It is always an honor to be there to document those important times.

We also have friends that end up trusting us to be our clients! This is the case with the Boothe Family. Tracie is a dear friend and Ive seen her two beautiful children grow up these past 7 years right before my eyes. Her daughter is good friends with my oldest, and is such an amazing young woman. We have laughed together, cried together, all the together stuff. So when she asked us to take their family pictures which she doesn't take lightly! (most moms don't) I really wanted to see her happy.

The great part of doing the Boothe Family is that they come with ideas, rockin props, and lots of willingness to really get something special. Tracie should teach classes on how to prepare for a photoshoot. She spends a lot of time working up the outfits, thinking about locations, and making sure all the details are attended to, nails, hair, matching socks! You dads know what Im talking about.

The weather didn't want to hold out on us so this is only part one, we will have to do another to finish what we started.

Thanks again Boothe Family for your friendship, and willingness, but most of all that amazing Surf Board. Rock On Dude!

And yes....they do infact surf as a family its one of many sports they enjoy together.

Bleazard Family: Tri-Cities, Washington Photographer

The Bleazard family consists of 22 people. Two parents, ten children, three spouses and 7 grandchildren and all of them beautiful. They own a dairy out in the Basin and it is beautiful! We shot and shot and shot and shot. It started to rain and we just kept shooting. There were so many cool and wonderful places there. Tips for the budding photographer-Dogs, Cats, 4-wheelers and motorcycles make cranky grandkids happy. What a fabulous family! Thanks letting us get to know you Bleazards.

Brock Family: Tri-Cities Photographer

We were able to shoot little Alyssa for Preschool pictures earlier this year. She was so stinkin' cute and obviously we were thrilled when her mom called for a family shoot. A group this size and this age usually ends up being fairly challenging, but we were up for the task and the Brocks behaved admirably. At one point, we had an awol child and I asked her to help me take her father's picture. She thought it was the coolest thing in the world. I'm spreading the photography disease. Nothing worse than a 2 1/2 year old with a camera. Thanks Brocks for all the hard work!

Eric the Senior: Tri-Cities, Washington Photographer

We got to shoot Eric out at Clover Island. We had a great time getting to know him. I think at first he wasn't so sure about us and all the posing, but by the end of the shoot, he was practically model material. We had a wonderful time. Thanks for putting up with two loonies Eric. Congratulations on graduation and good luck with all of your future endeavors.

Caroline, Just try and keep up! Tri-Cities, Richland, Washington Photography

There are certain clients that just make this job pure joy. This family is one that we have grown to love so much. Several years watching this little bundle of love and joy grow up has been nothing but rewarding and fun each time we meet. Something you can always count on when Caroline is around is that you will get a good workout. Another thing that was new this time was the moments where she went high fashion on us. This little girl is headed for "Stunning" when she grows up. Let me be one of the first ones to warn you. Not everyone relates to the camera the same, and children especially can be challanging to capture their inside essence when a camera is in their view, just as hard to pose, and get them to do things that dont make much sense to them. But Caroline surpised us this time by having moments where she was so focused and "worked the camera" as we call it. What a joy!

Baby E is one! Tri-Cities, Moses Lake, Washington Photographer

This little cutie was so much fun to shoot. She came all the way from Moses Lake for her big day. Her mother and grandmother said she refused to take a nap the whole way down so I was expecting some type of major fallout during the shoot. But not with E. She was a doll and a gem all rolled into one. That's a rarity. Thanks for the great shoot!
