A wedding at the Manor....

I got to help Theresa with another wedding last weekend. This one was at the Manor. What a completely cool location for a wedding. There were 3 floors and had a balcony overlooking the main floor so were a lot of angles and potential for some rad shots. The outside grounds were very awesome too. It was cold and rainy, but we were able to get a few outdoor photos before it really started to rain. Here are just a few of the many many images we got from Devin & Christine's wedding.

During some bride/groom photos, some of the groomsmen showed up in the background "hopping" through. They definitely provided some funny entertainment that night.

And how incredible is this little dude? He was the ring-bearer, but also loved to dance. Once the music started playing, people formed a circle around him and he did a little breakdancing.    :)

Tots to Teens - Sandy Puc

Yesterday I had the privilege of going to Sandy Puc's seminar "Tots to Teens." She wanted anyone who had a blog to blog about their experience because that's the way she will be able to come back next year. People have to have an interest. Well, I had a great time. She is so full of energy and I learned so much. She is so great working with kids and had so many different ideas and techniques that I have not thought of before. I wont' tell you what they are - you'll have to go find out for yourself! I can't wait until she comes back next year to teach about families. (She has a 5 year seminar prepared).

She has 25 more cities to go to before May. So, those of you that read this, should check out her site and see if you can make it to one of her seminars. (People back home.....She will be in Minneapolis on April 29th)....I do recommend getting your tickets now, as they have been selling out in some cities. 

On another note.....I am offering custom senior art albums this year. They are coming back looking absolutely STUNNING. Be sure to ask me about them if you are interested. (Albums don't have to only be for senior photos). 

Keep checking back to my blog. I have been working hard and coming up with a lot of new ideas to offer this year. The weather has finally started warming up a bit, so I'm anxious to get into the full swing of things again! Ok, now go book your ticket for Tots to Teens!  :)           Click here for the link for Tots to Teens....

Last week I helped Theresa with a wedding in Everett. The church had beautiful stained glass windows and was surprisingly really big. It was a fun day with a lot of happy faces. This little guy was the ring-bearer and grandson of the groom. How adorable is he?? 

Watch for more wedding postings in the future....

Chelan - Outdoor part 2

We had sun and beautiful weather. YAY. Chelan, her sister Sydney and I decided to head out to take advantage of the weather and finish up Chelan's senior photos. The traffic was horrible, but we stayed entertained reading many many signs of protesters, trying to figure out what they were talking about. By the time we arrived at our location, we had some time to get in some shots before we lost the light. We came up with some beautiful images. 

I wanted to get a few of the 2 together. Sydney was more than happy to hug Chelan. I asked them if they were "huggy" sisters in real life. Sydney said she tries, but Chelan not so much. I had to laugh because that was the same way I was with my younger sister growing up. But, they were good sports and it's always fun to see them.

Baby on Board!!

Sarah contacted me to do a maternity session with me. We had to set it up within a couple days of e-mail because she is due on the 20th, but ready to have her little guy any day. We took some in-studio shots and will possibly be doing some outdoor photos this weekend (cross your fingers for no more snow). She brought in her almost 3 year old daughter who eventually warmed up to the camera once Grandma came in to make her smile. Aren't grandmas so much fun?   :)

Thanks you guys. I can't wait to meet the baby soon!

Kariba's Birthday at Lucid

I got to head back down to Lucid again to photograph Kariba's birthday. I had a great time there. What an awesome group of friends she has. The night was definitely filled with a lot of laughter. Here are just a few of the many many images she has from her night.
