Despite the weather; Tri-Cities, WA Photographer

Justin is one of our Seniors for the 2010-2011 season. You'd think a day at the end of July in the Tri-Cities would be 1.bright, 2.sunny and 3.hot. But that day in particular was 1.gray, 2.dark and 3.not so hot. We braved the drizzly rain and Justin worked hard for the camera. The result was a great shoot with a new great client. What a good looking guy. Justin, you did awesome. Have a great senior year and good luck avoiding all the girls.

Chase & Jillian; Tri-Cities Wedding Photography

Ive often thought it would be fun to do a KB Top Amazing List for each year. The categories would be.... Most Photographic Wedding Cake, Wedding Dress, Best Dance moves at a reception, heaviest bouquet, highest wedding shoes worn, Most Photographic Wedding Sky....and so on. I think that would be a fun thing to do. I know right away what would make the tops list for Chase and Jillian's day.

Ive never heard a more beautiful heart felt set of vows that were hand written and given with such sweet emotion. I was crying like a baby, and that's not good when you are trying to take shots with a long lens from a distance.

"Best Dip" would also be awarded to Chase and Jillian. Without any instruction whatsoever, they went right into a beautiful dip for us topped off with a passionate kiss and lots of feeling.

Then there were her hands. Now as photographers we see alot of hands. Close up shots require it. Jillian could be a hand model for sure. Its not easy at all sometimes to know exactly how to make your hands look good to a camera, but somehow Jillian's hands knew exactly how to be, and with such grace each time. It makes our job 10 times easier on those tight shots.

The last but certainly not least "top" for this wedding, had to be the Cupcake tower~! This seems to be a popular item this year, but Jillian collects everything "Cupcake" and has for sometime. So this girl knows her stuff, and the cupcake tower was AMAZING~!

We had such an amazing fun sweet time at this wedding. I went home with renewed determination to be a better wife, and a craving for cupcakes.....

Daniel and Mandy: Tri-Cities, WA wedding photographer

Take a perfect day in July with glorious blue skies and add our bride and groom; Mandy and Daniel. You just about get perfection. From the getting ready to the first glance, to the ceremony, to the reception, everything went off perfectly and our couple shined. Mandy and Daniel you were so great. Getting to you know through the engagement shoot and the wedding day has been a wonderful experience. You are truly beautiful not only on the outside but the inside also.

Deana & Tim 4th of July Magic: Wedding Photography, Tri-Cities Washington

Just add 4th of July, The Moore Mansion, and the most beautiful couple inside and out and what you get is one incredible, amazing, beautiful day! Keslie and I kept telling each other all day, this is really fun, they are so sweet, this is looking amazing. Deana could be described as many things, very petite, sassy, so fun...but what really stands out is just how good you feel being around her. She makes you feel special and she is so calm even when things got a little bumpy as they do during any wedding day. Tim could be described as very tall, very soft spoken, really sweet....but what really stands out is also his easy going nature. What an amazing couple! We feel so truly fortunate that they trusted us with capturing this fabulous day they had put so much thought and care into. Congratulations to one amazingly fabulous couple and here's to a wonderful future ahead!

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!
