Reading is Sexy!!!

A Boudoir Session is such a great gift to give your sweetie or do for yourself. I love love love when my clients bring something they LOVE to their session. In Tierra's case she LOVES reading!!! Harry Potter is her favorite book series so of course we had to get some of this in there. I bet Matt her sweetheart wishes she would wear these outfits for reading. (of course there are many more but they are for her Sweethearts eyes only)

What can I say but WOW!!! Tierra Rocked this session!!! A Bridal Boudoir session for her sweetie in the new Dinea de Photo Studio space. She has these amazing eyes and I am so glad I have gotten to photograph her engagement session & her Bridal boudoir, & look forward to her upcoming October wedding with a "Tim Burton" Flair.

Sibling Love

Sweet Baby Love!!!

I got to photograph the sweetest twins the other day. The boys were so different, introverted & extroverted...a perfect match for their mom Debora! :)

I have known Debora for some time now, & finally got the honor to photograph her growing boys! I also love how they love their sticks, dirt, & baby dolls! So strong & so nurturing!!!

I find with kids that taking time to let them be kids is the best way to get great photos...my favorite image of the session was this one of them together playing with sticks. They had absolutely no idea I took this picture, they were just happy as clams to be playing in the dirt with sticks!!!

and of their sweet faces too...& of course their soulful eyes!!!

Ladies in Red

Sisters can be the best of friends & rivals, but it is an amazing thing to see the bond they share. Greta & Maj-Brit are probably some of the most movie star like sisters I have met. They totally rocked their glamourous photo shoot!!!

The other amazing thing is that they had these videographers from Sweden come along as part of their movie on Greta's life. What a fun time! These ladies were great and I cannot wait to see what they put together.

More photos are posted on Facebook .

Love thru the ages

They say loves grows & when you see it in a couple that has been together for a while it is so apparent!!!

It has been a while since I posted. I have been in Facebook world and really have missed blogging. There has been so much photographically lately that it is almost impossible to know which to post first, but here goes.

I had the opportunity to photograph a family session recently that was pretty inspiring, I mean wow when you have more than 4 people and generations it gets well, interesting and pretty fun. I especially love when I get to see great grandparents!!! The joy in their faces when they are enjoying watching their great grandkids run around!!!

All ages and stages are precious and I am constantly amazed at the stages of life and the joy in photographing the young & the old!

Andrea & Adam

Umbrellas Blazing & Temples Rising-

Andrea & Adam's Wedding

I have been behind on blog posts, because the new blog is in process and am looking forward to sharing it with you all soon.

Andrea & Adam were married Nov 10th 2009 at the breathtaking LDS Temple in Portland with a reception the next day in Olympia at the Heritage Room.

Since I am not Mormon, pictures were not allowed inside the Temple we did pictures outside. The Temple in Portland, OR is amazing!

Here is Andrea peeking out of the Temple doors, she was so excited to share the joy of being married with all of the people waiting.
& of course it was a joyful welcome to all.
It rained only after pictures on Tuesday...but the red umbrellas were a great accessory. Andrea gave each bridesmaid their own umbrella to keep, just in case. In fact right as me and the videographer got into the car, it poured buckets of rain. I guess Andrea & Adam were lucky!
Since many people could not attend the ceremony in Portland, the next day was their reception in Olympia, WA at the Heritage Room.

What an elegant reception it was, but my favorite part was doing the bridal party and family pictures outside by Capitol Lake. The autumn color, the stormy skies, who could ask for a more beautiful November wedding?

Fun Puppy! Photos

So our new Chihuahua puppy "Mouse" is inspiring me to get out there and take more pet photos and of course them with their people. This one of A Royal Frenchel (a mix between a Royal Spaniel and a French Bulldog) named Sunshine is so cute I had to get it made into a canvas. So cute. You can see some more of them at www.royalfrenchel.com

I have been MIA while I have been working on a new surprise and venture so stay tuned for more posts soon. I will be also getting a brand spanking new blog up soon too. Busy busy busy...
