Here is a sneak peak at what I am working on today!

Last Thursday was such a wonderful day!  I had an awesome opportunity to meet with another local photographer, one I admire sooo much!  Julie Watts!  She is an amazing photographer, and so sweet!  Check out her blog www.juliewattsphoto.blogspot.com 
I was honored when she invited me to her photo studio.  She showed me around, taught me a lot, and even took some shots of me and my camera.  This is a picture that I took when she was teaching me about my flash.  THANK YOU JULIE!!!


Later that day I got to have a girls night with my good friend Lindsay, who is also a photographer.   We went to Point Defiance Park and took pictures of each other.  We both had fun being behind the camera, but it felt weird to be on the other side of the lens.


As soon as we saw the sun was setting and the beautiful light it was creating in the distance, we jumped in the car and chased the sun to find a perfect sunset location.



When we lost all our daylight, we went out to dinner.  We ate pizza and talked and finally made it home by midnight.  What a FUN day!

Maternity Pictures





These are just a few of my favorite maternity photos.

The studio session of Kylie's graduation





Check out this bird! It was in a tree in our backyard.  My youngest and I saw it outside his bedroom window.  So I ran and got my camera of course!

YUMMM MOM A SMOOTHIE!

Wow! I am learning sooooo much!  When I was in high school, I thought it was a lame excuse for adults to be computer illiterate.  Now it is ME who feels computer illiterate!  I love my new Mac though!  It makes things a lot easier!  I will never go back to the PC world!  

I am working on building my business.  I am officially not continuing my school next year.  So Photography will be my only business to pursue.  I am changing a lot....for the better.  My clients will now be able to view their photos, while I take them in the studio.  Then schedule another appointment to view a slide show of their finished photos, and recieve a password to order their photos online.  This is an awesome way to give your families opportunities to purchase their own prints and for you to have plenty of time to decide what prints you want.  I will still be offering high resolution digital files, but instead of burning CDs I will post your photos on a password protected photo gallery for you to download.  I am really excited!

Dr. Brossel




 I have been going to the same dentist since I was 5 years old. WOW that is 20 years.  I know most people hate going to the dentist, but ever since I was a little girl I love going to the dentist.  (and I haven't had a perfect dental history either) Now my kids love going to the dentist too.
Today I had the honor of taking the staff pictures for my dentist's website.  They are being recognized as best dentist in Federal Way.  I have include pictures of Dr. Brossel and Sarah.  She is the one who cleans my teeth.  (But we usually do about as much talking as cleaning, if not more)  I love her!  My husband has banned me from going with him when he gets his teeth cleaned, because we talk the whole time. (he feels a little left out I think) lol  My kids love her too, she makes them love to take care of their teeth, and they can't wait to show her their pretty smiles.  Which is great because we already know our 4 year old is going to need lots of dental work.

On sunday I did my first graduation shoot.  Kylie is SO cute!  I had a lot of fun!  We went to Point Defience and Jack Hyde Park.

Alicia's Wedding






Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph Alicia's wedding.  Alicia is always lots of fun!  So she makes it fun for me to photograph her.

I caught the after easter sale at Children's Place and bought the boys a ton of new clothes.
So yesterday I thought I would actually take their easter pictures. (a little late...I know)  So we will just call them spring pictures.  Well it was a challenge (like usual) but we got a few good shots in between the jumping, climbing, and trying to skateboard in the studio.


This one is my favorite.
Judah just had to have a picture with the baby chick on his head!

Wow! This is my first blogging experience!  I'm using my new Mac!  I'm very excited to see what God has in store for me, He is taking me out of my comfort zone and stretching me like crazy!
