Welcome TO THE

The wink attempt, the missing teeth, the jumps, the funny faces. It’s important to capture ALL of this during a family photo session. When your 6 year old is 12 they might not be so keen to ham it up for the camera (trust me, I have a 12 year old). Capture them now while […]

Although he missed his chance at newborn photos I think we did a good job with his five month photos 🙂

I’ll let these photos speak for themselves. This was an at home session and goes to show that what’s most important in your photo session is the people in it. Yes, they live on the lake so that was awesome but what I love about these photos is them.

Loved this session! We met up at the Douglas Fir Trail and did photos during the hike. If you’ve never done this trail it’s a little piece of the mountains right here in the city. An adventure for the kids means fun photos of the family!

Do you need a fancy/trendy location for your family photos? Nope, not at all. All of these photos were taken in the front yard of this family’s home. Is it nice to go to another location sometimes? For sure but don’t feel like you have to. Especially with young kids staying at home may be […]

Activities for sessions are so much more fun (and frankly easy) than just choosing a pretty location. Having something for the kids to do and […]

A new year and with that I’m definitely feeling the need to make changes. They’re coming fast and furious. I love to make changes – my problem is sticking with them. I know I’m not alone in this. I picked up a great book at the library yesterday “Better Than Before” by Gretchen Rubin. (Sidenote, […]
