Fly Away Hero

I had the privilege to once again do a session with FAH (A very talented group of young men). They were a blast, and I love some of the looks we got. Make sure to check them out at www.flyawayhero.com !

Almost

I think I am almost caught up, or at least close enough I can feel it. I have some personal trips to blog about as well as some amazing scenery images from WA and some family pictures. Hopefully these will be along soon, but  anyone out there who is a photographer knows that the first thing to get pushed to the side is your personal images. I really hope you all have enjoyed the massive blog catch up.

I have a really fun preview of the boys from Fly Away Hero coming up soon!

{B} Headshot

A quick headshot for my beautiful friend <3

{G} Maternity Session

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.  She never existed before.  The woman existed, but the mother, never.  A mother is something absolutely new.

{N and M} Couples session

Our very dear friend M came to visit from CA with her boyfriend and we had a great time getting to know him. I first met M at our wedding as she was a friend of my husbands, and we have been greatest friends ever since. Here are a few shots we grabbed the morning they left for the airport.

The {M} Family

Could they be any more photogenic?

Baby {R} 7 month session

I love being able to photograph a family as it grows and changes. I did R's newborn pictures and was really excited to be able to photography him once again. Isn't he just adorable! His mom wanted a more urban feel to the shoot and came totally prepared with some cute outfits that worked great.

{S} Senior Session

The gorgeous S! She was willing to try just about anything and braved the heat for this shoot. Enjoy her preview. I apologize that some of these are out of order, that is what I get for being so behind in blogging.

Katie DeWinter

The beautiful Katie DeWinter was down in this part of the country to do pictures for PDT and we were lucky enough to have our family portraits done while she was down here. Check out more of her amazing work here www.katiedewinter.com . She is also the one that did all of the individual portraits I am now using.

We had talked some on facebook, but this was the first time we had actually met. She is such a wonderful person and really made me feel comfortable on the other side of the camera (which I am normally not). If you live in her area make sure to look her up if you need pictures done. Her eye and use of light is truly a gift. I consider her a friend and really look forward to more time together in the future.

Thank you Katie, for making me feel beautiful and capturing the essence of our family so well!

{R}

A friend needed some pictures done for his business and promo pieces etc. Here are a few from the shoot. I was really nervous to start out with because I knew he had a specific look in mind and hoped that I got it right. It turned out to be a blast and we got just what he was looking for.

The {R} Family

Another dear friend of mine I was able to see while on the trip and who allowed me to stay at their place while out on Shaw. I had never gotten to meet her husband or their two precious girls and it was great. The girls are full of so much personality and J was just as beautiful as ever. I have a very strong feeling that our husbands will get along famously when they meet :) We used to pretend that we were sisters growing up because we always thought that we looked a like. From the minute I saw her it was like we had only just seen each other the week before and not 14 years ago. It will not be that long again!

The {G} Family

It was so wonderful seeing all sort of people that I had not seen for 7-14 years but had grown up with. It was even more special that they allowed me to take their family portraits while I was there. Friday had me on the ferry and heading to Shaw Island. My first family session there was the  G family.Each of the sessions while on my trip included lots of individual mini sessions, but I am posting them together with the family images. The skies cleared and the weather for my stay on Shaw was beautiful. I also came home with a jar of some of the best apple butter I have ever had.
