Busy, Busy

Whew! This last week or so has been a busy one. It seems like August has a way of producing packed weeks, but somehow I forget how hectic it can get until August is actually here. And now it's practically gone! Anyway, I thought I'd give you a quick summary of what we were up to last week before I fly to UT tomorrow for about five more photoshoots! Tis the season! :)

First, I got to take the lovely Palmer family pictures--grandma, grandpa, four kids and all the grandbabies. This is just one of the beautiful granddaughters. I have a lot more from this shoot coming...


Next up, I got to photograph a gorgeous, gorgeous wedding! I can't wait to show you more of this lovely couple. This picture was taken at Deception Pass. Love!


A few days later, Will took the day off so we could drive to Moses Lake to meet up with my sister, Lauren, at an awesome waterpark there. After a day of swimming, we went to visit my cousin, Scarlet, and her cute family. Anyway, here are some shots of a few of the most adorable baby boys on earth.



And last but not least, Lauren was so sweet to take a few family pictures of us. This one was my favorite. Sweet little Magnolia's face is sunshine! Thanks so much, Lu! You rock!


Anyway, with all the editing I have waiting and all the photoshoots coming up, and fun guests arriving (yipee), I don't know how much I'll be able to post in the next few weeks. So, if you get bored, be sure to check out the love song Lissie and I wrote together, my plea for this invention, and pictures from Maggie's tea party birthday.

And slow down, September!

I was so excited when quite awhile ago my friend Lexi at Mostly True Stuff agreed to trade a photoshoot for some of her crafty goodness, and I got hooked up! (Thank you, Lexi!) I get so many compliments on the things she's made me, so you should definitely check out her Etsy shop. Anyway, here's a little peek at her family pictures! The baby, especially, just melts. my. heart!

Snaps: My Boys!

I love how much Will and Magson look alike...minus their coloring, of course. (At least Magson has a little bit of me in him!) Will is always so happy when he is out on the lake, and Magson is already dreaming of when he'll wakeboard someday. But for now, little Magson always says, "That's too scary for me" if you ask him if he wants to give it a try. I don't blame him. Will's been pulling quite the stunts out there lately!







I love my boys. :)

Beautiful People {Part 2}

I couldn't have found prettier or sweeter girls to debut my mosquito net. :) Again, such a lovely family!

Beautiful People {Part 1}

I haven't declared one specific genre of portrait photography as my specialty, but having photographed one inspiring and loving family after the next lately, it makes me want to say, "I only photograph families!" While specializing might be a good career move, I'm not ready to declare one yet. I love it all too much...newborns! Weddings! Bring it on. But I must say, my special love for family portraits has taken me by surprise. I just love being with families. Parents who love each other--and adoring children. It's a beautiful thing. :)

Hope you love your first little peek, my sweet friends!
