The Roses...

Not the flower, the family. Once upon a time they had four beautiful kids, the youngest still a baby. All was right with the world. Then one day that perfect world was turned upside down when low and behold they were told that they would be having twins. TWINS!!! I would have asked to be admitted to a mental institution immediately. I'm sure I'd have to live there at some point so why not just get a head start.
We just love this family! They are so awesome. That's the best way to describe them. Anyone who can juggle the madness that they juggle and still live to tell the tale is AWESOME! Check out their cute kids.

Puppy dog eyes, beautiful hair! Another easy shoot! I'm thinking they only make georgeous seniors these days.

Stunning!

This senior was just stunning. I just kept looking at my viewfinder in awe during the entire shoot. She was sweet as can be and just a joy to work with. Mom came along and had me cracking up. I brought my daughter Taylor on the shoot for the first time and Kasey and her Mom were so sweet to her. Taylor is 11 and has been asking me to take her along on a shoot. She wants to learn to assist me so she can be a photographer some day. I love it!

No pictures please

Brittney did NOT want to get her senior pictures done. I think I can safely say that by the time it was all over she was glad she went through with it. She was worried they just wouldn't turn out, I can put her fears to rest. I have so many amazing pictures of her I couldn't narrow her gallery down to 40 or 50. She has 70 incredible pictures to choose from.

Creme Brulee Cuties

Here's a few of the cutie pies that I took portraits of at Creme Brulee. I'll have to post more later, everyone of the kids was just so adorable.

When it rains...it pours!

The title has two meanings. Yet another beautiful senior. I'm doing 5 more senior sessions this week, yikes!!! I'll let you know if I sleep at all in the next few days. The second meaning is that we did this entire shoot in the pouring rain. Luckily we had Chelsie's Mom holding an umbrella over her all day. I had an assistant (thank you Sue) holding an umbrella over me. I would set the shot up and have Mom run out of the picture...pose, shoot, pose, shoot...bring back the umbrella. Then we'd do it all again. The pictures are stunning!!! The rain just made all the color saturated and beautiful. When you live in the state of Washington, you have to learn to work around the rain any way possible. Thank you Chelsie and Kim for being troopers and taking a chance on the rain...and me!

My Nephew...

I know...isn't he cute!!!

The Posten Family

These guys were hilarious!!! They kept me laughing the entire session. It was a pretty crazy session. It was pouring down rain as I was loading my fabulous green couch into my car. I was totally freaking out that my shoot would be rained out and I couldn't use my couch. As I drove out of my neighborhood I could see blue skies in the direction I was heading. So I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
When we got to the location the gray skies were starting to roll in. These three boy's grabbed my couch and carried it over their heads like giant ants. We plopped it down in the middle of this field and I snapped off a few shots. Within 10 minutes it was starting to rain. The boys picked up the couch again and hiked back to my car and loaded it. By this time it was pouring. We huddled under umbrellas and finished out the shoot with some individual shots of everyone in minutes. From start to finish the entire session lasted 20 minutes. Other than the fact that I took fewer pictures than any other session you wouldn't be able to tell. The pictures turned out fantastic!
