Caroline's Family

We've shot this family several times now and take joy in it. Caroline has such a vivacious personality...and it's contagious. We are recommending however, that she start her track and cross country training now, because that girl has the stuff of champions. I've never seen a three-year-old run so fast. It's no wonder mom and dad are both totally in shape. What fun! Thanks Mom, Dad and of course; Caroline. What a fun shoot.

Karalee and Jefferson were so fun to shoot. We had to tutor Jefferson in the ways of a "REAL" photo shoot. They were so laid back and fun to tease. We could tell they just loved being together. I think that's what made the whole thing bearable for Jefferson; because he got to be with Karalee. We are thrilled that we had to 0pportunity to shoot your engagement. Good luck with all the wedding plans.

Can you see my ginormous Goosepimples?

Derek and Jasmine were brave enough to come out and do a shoot with us on a cold cold COLD windy day. They got married a few months back in Seattle and it POURED on their wedding day so they decided to try a First...well maybe "Second" Glance (seems how they are already married) to get some better pictures. You can't even tell that hypothermia was setting in! It's amazing what a little Photoshop can do. Just kidding! Derek and Jasmine were so great about the cold and we had so much fun capturing great images of these two. They are so in love. You guys are wonderful. Enjoy the pictures.

Look out Cindy Crawford...

Alexa has such an amazing look. We wanted to shoot her for hours...wait a minute, I think we DID shoot her for hours. Sorry Alexa, sometimes we just can't help ourselves. She was a good sport about the whole thing. We just know we've found America's next Top Model. In fact, if anyone works for the Washington State Apple Commission, give us a call. Have we got some shots for you!

Gold Velvet....oh my!

The Harker family consists of 1 very cute, very fun mom, 1 easy going fun dad, 3 high energy absolutely adorable little boys and 1 doll of a baby girl who you just want to hug and squeeze because she so stinkin' cute. They were very brave and came out on a rather crisp, breezy day. We managed to find a little respite out of the wind in an apple orchard in Benton City. Add one retro, velvet gold couch and you've got the funnest pictures. The fact that we encouraged jumping on the couch! We sealed the deal for coolness in those boys' eyes. The pictures turned out darling. Take a look!

Fab First Glance!

Meriyah and Jered did what we call a "First Glance". Here's a quick explanation: Before the wedding (anywhere from a month before to hours before), the couple gets their wedding gear on, gets all prettied up, and we do a "first glance" in some quiet romantic location of their choice. There they see each other for the first time and we get to be there for it. We photograph the entire experience. It is always amazing. There is so much raw emotiom and it's much more personal than seeing each other for the first time walking down the aisle. Meriyah and Jered's experience was no different. What a fun and beautiful couple. We can't wait to shoot your wedding next month.

Why do you look like a bug today?

So we've decided to put the pictures after our little entry so all you who are reading the blog have to read through this nonsense before you get to the good stuff. If I've gotta spend the time typing it, you should be spending the time reading it. He He. Fill free to skip the crud and get to the good stuff. Anyway, I digress. Jenette was more than cute, she was more than pretty, she was amazing. You can pretty much explain her shoot like this. I own a pair of glasses just like the one Jenette is wearing in several of the shots. Needless to say, when I put on the glasses, my kids ask me why I look like a bug. When we see Jenette in the glasses, she looks nothing like a bug. She looks like a knock-out. So fun Jenette. We loved working with you.
