Family Fun

When a whole family gets together it gets crazy! But it is also so fun to have your family near! The C-- family is full of life and laughter. They went along with silly games and never complained when I asked them to walk down the pathway for the tenth time. Destiny, one of the younger children had some great ideas for posing. She is a creative girl! And Deedee was such a little super model, walking like she was on the runway. Damion, the little guy, was full of smiles and the whole family was really great to work with. Thanks for such a fun photo shoot!

Luna the Moon

Luna: Isn't that such a pretty name?! The name fits the girl very well also. Luna has a sweet smile and a cute, chatty personality. During the whole photo shoot she made a collection of feathers, putting each in her bag for safe keeping. She also found acorns and other nicknacks, her mother said she is always collecting little things where ever they go. She posed so well and was a natural model! Thanks for the fun shoot!

We tried to schedule Luna's session before her first tooth came out, but it just could not wait. She sure does look cute with only one front tooth, though! The second one came out only two days afterward ;)

Carol & Arnold

Last Sunday I joined a shoot for a magazine article in which Carol was the inspiring model for others to eat healthy, lose weight, and make good life style choices. She used juicing to lose the weight in which all the other weight loss programs failed to give lasting and changing results. She looks so beautiful and happy in all these images, it was a fun day to see her dressed up, done up, and made over!

During the magazine shoot I was able to watch and talk with photographer Dean Davis. He is a commercial photographer who incorporates artificial light with the natural light of an area to create lovely images. I always love learning from sought-after photographers watching them at shoots while working with posing and lighting.

After the main shoot, I took couple portraits of Carol and her husband Arnold. They are a friendly couple who are so joyful and show kindness to all they meet. Thanks for a great session!

Oh What a Beautiful Day!

Steptoe Butte, made of quartzite, rises over 3,500 feet amidst the rolling Palouse hills. A corkscrew road goes all the way to the top, but who takes a car when you can walk and enjoy the scenery, the gusty wind and little varmints scurrying around in the bushes.

The cotton clouds weave around the sun creating lovely shadows and highlights on the green and golden hills. It is an open landscape where I can see hills turn into mountains and mountains fade into blue in the distance.
