This past weekend I had the chance to attend my church’s women’s retreat at Lakeview Retreat & Conference Center in Federal Way.

First off, I apologize for being so behind on my blogging. Let’s just say it’s been one of those weeks. Luckily, I have a great excuse for today’s post.

A lot of times, after looking at children’s portraits that I’ve done, people will ask me how I manage to get the kids to sit still for the photos. I have to admit that more often than not, the answer is, I don’t get them to sit still. I just photograph them doing whatever they [...]

I spent this morning with Kevin and Amber and their two kids doing a family portrait session at Lake Wilderness in Maple Valley. What a beautiful morning we had!

Today we went to visit a fire station in Bonney Lake. It’s part of the East Pierce Fire & Rescue, our regional fire authority. Kari, my good friend and MOPS table leader, set it up (Thanks, Kari!). Adam is interested in anything to do with fire stations, fire trucks, firemen (are you catching on to [...]

The kids always love to visit the Kid Zone and see all of their favorite animals. Adam really enjoys the sharks and monkeys. Kelsey’s favorite are the penguins. Clara loved [...]
