Thanks Corie for letting me take some pics of your sweet baby girl.  She is a gem! :)

I loved this one, because at the beginning of the session every time I lifted my camera up to her face she would skowl at me. What a girl!

More toes and feet! I can't help it...I just love it. How about that size difference? Do you think Makenna might be tall?!

But that doesn’t mean I should short change myself or anyone that likes to look at my photos.  So, I have decided to spend a little more time on my blog and actually saying a word or two beyond my very brief synopsis of “how busy I am”.

Photography is part of my heart beat.  I see it in everything I do……  i.e. I just drove 6 1/2 hours from Nampa, ID to Wenatchee, WA and about every three minutes I saw a potential photo.  That’s how my mind works.  I only wish I had a family or wedding couple to stick in the corn field with five foot corn stalks, or the barn that has been abandon since 1920, or  in front of the Colombia River that is painted with diamonds and framed in chiseled cliffs that only God could create.  There is beauty and creativity everywhere.

I was very lucky to get an opportunity to capture Rani Guzman’s family at the end of June.  I went to school with Rani and it was so great to catch up and see where she is after high school (I can’t believe we graduated 13 years ago….I’m trying not to feel old :) )

Here are a few photos from the session!  Such an adorable family.

I caught him! He thought he was quicker than me...but I caught him. :) I have to say that I take great pride when I capture a moment with a kid under the age of about 7 or 8, because any younger and they move at the speed of light.

I had to grab a few shots of the love birds...because let's be honest, after you have kids you tend to forget about yourselves.

I had to post this one, because it's so real. Family is family and that's what I like to capture. Boogers, drool, dirty diapers, food stains...that's what family is all about.
