Brian: Senior 2011

I absolutely loved this senior session!  Brian really wanted some unique photos and I love it when a client is looking for something fresh and unique AND is open to your suggestions!  That pretty much puts me in my happy place.  Brian has plans to go Portland State next year and do their study abroad, which might I add I am just a little bit jealous of…but only a little bit ;)

Brian: Thanks so much for going with the flow and being open to trying out new things!  I know you are going to have the time of your life in college.  Just remember to come back home and visit your mom every once in awhile. J  You are an amazing steadfast young man and I know God is going to use you to do great things, even overseas!

As usual it was hard to pick just few! So here are a little more than a few of my favorites from the session ;)

So with the time change and all we didn't have much light left by the time we got to Washington Park... so I improvised...that's just what professionals do :)  And I have to say these are probably some of my most favorites.

Justin: Senior 2011

Rainy, cold, and cloudy. Yep, that pretty much sums up what the weather gave me for Justin's Senior Portrait Session.  That didn't stop us though.  Despite being extremely cold Justin was a trooper and we were still able to pull off some awesome shots!  Justin has plans to go into the military after high school and I have to say I am so thankful for people like him who are willing to dedicate themselves for our safety and to defend our freedom. 

Justin:  Thank you for such a great session!  Despite the rain and cold, I had a great time getting to know you and your mom.  Good luck with the rest of your football season and your last year of high school! I know you'll strong!

It was hard to pick just a few, but here are some of my favs...

Wenatchee Wedding: Adelae & Nick

It was a beautiful day at the most perfect place.  Her hair was done just right, make up perfectly set to add that extra, sweet, girly drama that every Bride cannot live without.  Tears were shed when she first saw the reception hall. "It's exactly how I imagined it" left her lips.  She walked up behind him; nervous, yet confident, and as he turned to take in her beauty someone in heaven was saying, "It's exactly how I imagined it."  It had all finally come together... PERFECTLY.  

Adelae & Nick: Thank you for letting me spend such a wonderful and beautiful day with you!  I was so blessed by the generosity of your families and enjoyed every second of capturing your day.  What a beautiful and perfectly matched couple you are!  Congrats!

Best find of the day?  The orchard across the street...

 The church was perfectly set right in front of Saddle Rock.  Again the day was pure perfection...

Rob & Bethany: Wedding

Perfect timing.  That’s what life is all about; or at least what true love is all about. Bethany had “known” about Rob for a while (as in a few years).  Someone she had gone on a missions trip with informed her that they had a guy she “had” to meet.  But again… perfect timing… it’s everything. A few years later they finally met; and, well, the rest is history.  I think my favorite part about their story is how many people they both knew; yet they never got together until just the right time when they were ready for each other. 

Rob & Bethany: You two are such a great match!  I am so happy that I got to share your day with you and experience such a wonderful occasion of God working in his perfect timing to bring you together.  I am honored and blessed that you chose me to capture your love.  

The First Look: Always my FAVORITE moment!

 Forecast for the day: rain, rain AND more rain.   Do you see that BEAUTIFUL sky??  Yep, somebody up there answers prayers ;)

Julia & Christoper: Wedding

Julia was probably one of the most calm brides I have EVER seen!  While the hustle and bustle of getting last minute details in place was happening around her she remained inside her bubble of complete and utter happiness.  Never once did I see it pop.  Her thoughts were no longer of details of her wedding day, but rather on the man of her dreams.  This was her day where she would start a new beginning with the man she had known all her life.  This was the first day of the rest of her life and no one was going to take that away from her.

Julia & Christopher: Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wonderful day!  I had such a great time with both of you and your family!  What a joy and blessing it was to hear your story of growing up together and realize that you two truly do get to spend your entire lives together!  Here's to a true lifetime of love and happiness!

I just want to say we ended up with the BEST weather to get some awesome shots!
