Oooch!

When I saw that this weeks challenge over at I Heart Faces, was pet faces I couldn't resist sharing our dearest and ONLY pet with you all.....Ooch :)!

My Mom and Dad bought me Ooch when I was 12 years old.  My little family inherited him two years ago.  So I guess that makes him atleast 20.  We have no idea how old he was when we bought him because this little guy hasn't grown at ALL since we got hiim.  He could be 100 I suppose :)!  I hope one day to pass him onto my children.

Turtles are the BEST pets ever :)!

There Is Nothing Better {Kitsap County, Children, Family, Maternity Photographer}

As a photographer there is nothing better than shooting a family multiple times. Watching your children grow and change, and having the privilege of documenting these changes, is a true honor that I don't take lightly.

This beautiful family is very special to me. They were my very first official clients when I went into business two years ago. I think it is safe to say they took a chance on me, and I am so thankful that they did. Their first session is still one of my all time favorites.

I am thrilled to share their latest session with you all!

The Sacrifices We Make For LOVE..... {Washington Photographer}

We all make sacrifices when we truly love someone. This sweet couple has been married just under a year and have had to make more sacrifices for one another than I can count. 

They both serve our country, and are currently living thousands of miles apart, and will continue to do so for several months to come. I am humbled each time I am around them. They have such a great attitude and perspective about their situation, and it makes me so appreciative of all of the men and woman that serve our country. The sacrifices that they make both personally and professionally are nothing short of heroic.

Andrew and Brandi, are so stinkin in love :). I want you both to know I appreciate all that you do to keep my little family safe and free! I am so proud of you both. Oh and did I mention they are my cousins :)!

I hope these photographs help ease the seperation just a little bit, or at the very least help remind you of how great you look together :)!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! {Kitsap County, WA Photographer}

Wishing you and yours a warm, and happy Thanksgiving! 

From my little Monkey's to yours, I hope it is a wonderful day!

My Beautiful Sister..... {Port Orchard, WA Wedding Photographer}

I finally was able to sit down and go through all of the pictures that I took at my sisters wedding.  I only had time to shoot her for about 20 min. after which the fabulous Mindy took over.  Soon I will get the rest of the photos from her and edit more of the ceremony and reception, but I will probably not be able to get to those for a while, as this is my crazy insano busy time of year :)!

So please enjoy these for now, and I promise to post more in the next month or so.

 

I have to tell you that this is my favorite photograph of the day.  We were having a beautiful sister moment which ended in tears.  Words can not express how much I love this girl.  And she is even more beautiful when she cries :)!

Booo!! {Port Orchard, WA Children's Photographer]

YAY!!  I finally figure out how to shoot my own kids, and have it be super fun for them :)!

Costumes, they need costumes!! 

 Introducing, my super skilled Ninja, and my super adorable Dinosaur.....



Model's In The Making {Tacoma, Washington Children's Photographer}

This is my second time shooting these two little models in the making.   I am not kidding, little E didn't need much help with posing, he worked it!!

And little Miss A, well I am not gonna lie, she made me work, but man was it worth it!  I just love all of her expressions.  She makes me want a baby girl oh so bad!

So many to share :)!

Real models always end their shoots with a hot cocoa :)!
