My heart is full...

I know I'm a little bias, but don't we have the most adorable girls!?! Family picture day can always be somewhat of a challenge. Let's just say we are more comfortable on the other side of the camera :) Once we got over the stress of getting everyone ready (getting everyone's hair done is the worst!) It was supper fun just hanging and being silly with the fam!

Kaija Roo Roo!

I took Kaija's Baptism pics today. Kaij and I had lots of laughs..good time! Love ya Roo!

Barlow to the rescue!

So, I'm getting ready to head off to San Fransisco for a Photography Workshop and received an email yesterday reminding me I had to submit a self portrait by the end of the day. Dang...who has a pic of themselves lying around? So I twisted Barlow's arm to go take one before he headed off to work. Well it was quite hilarious! We left at noon desperately looking for shade, and of course couldn't find any. So we had our sweet Irie hold the diffuser while Barlow held Emerson (because she's Emerson and has to have a complete meltdown during my stressful sistuation:)) and snapped some shots. Well, after over 100 shots we finally got one that was somewhat useable! UHG...This confirmed I definitely like being on the other side of the camera, thanks hubbs!

Picture Day!!

Could someone please tell me why it is so hard to photograph your own kids? Their impossible, but still are so darn cute! I shot over 200 pics and still didn't get one of them together that I love, but it's over...well, until next year!

Happy Easter 09

We had such a great Easter. We had dinner out at my parents house and had an Easter egg hunt for all the kids. (there's no better place to have an egg hunt than at the fort!) The cousins had a great time together!

Hello 2009...it's good to be back!

Happy New Year everyone! The studio has been closed for 3 weeks and it's good to be back. We took a much needed family vacation to Palm Springs, CA. and had such a great time. We lived there for 4 years, so it was nice to go back and see old friends, not to mention the 70 degree weather! It was great to spend quality time with our family without the nagging feeling of "you have so much to get done in Photoshop, get to your computer NOW"! It was truly refreshing!

I also had time to reflect on 2008 and what a wonderful and blessed year it was for my family. I Love photography and am very passionate about it. I truly feel blessed to be following my dream. Thanks Barlow for your love and support. How can it get any better than to run your own business with the person you love most in this world, not to mention he's the most creative and talented person I know!

Thank you for all of our wonderful clients for trusting us to capture all of your priceless memories, thank you for your friendship and your business...THANK YOU!

2009 is here and we're excited!

A trip down memory lane!

I found this clip of Kaija from 4 years ago. I had to post it, cuz I thought it was so darn cute! It kind of made me sad, cuz I want to bottle my kids up and not let them get any bigger! Merry Christmas!

Barlow's famous Date Video!!

Barlow and I shot this couples wedding this weekend. Before the wedding day, Barlow shot a date video for them and it was played at their reception. It was amazing the response we got from this video, so I thought I would share:) Your a superstar Barlow! :)

It's that time again...

Oh, how I love to shoot my own children. It is honestly the most painful thing, but we did it and it's over! :) I have to say they were troopers considering it was so stinkn' cold outside. Good job girls. I love you!

Happy Halloween 08

Yes, that is my dad :)
That's my chick magnet. Later on he told me he was going to wear this at a gay bar :)
