Summer Vacation

It is my official first day of Summer Vacation. Praise God! I love my job, but I also love that I can rest and rejuvenate myself for 2 months before the craziness starts all over again. I posted two photos in this post, because both symbolize many different aspects of how I feel right now….

    Gorgeous images! And my sentiments exactly. Where are you going in the PNW? My bro has a B&B on Bainbridge…let me know if you’ll be in the area. We call it the “W” in the woods. You’d love it!

So once a month the Leisure League, which is pretty much the most explanatory name ever, meets up to play some games. This month it was a bocce ball tournie. If…

Senior Portraits: Sara, Class of 2010

Beautiful, fashionable and elegant are words that describe Sara. She’s a true beauty! She is obviously gorgeous from the outside, but her smile is one that penetrates and can brighten anyone’s day. Her gentle spirit complements her elegant beauty. Her incredible fashion sense makes me want to raid her closet. And her confidence makes her an…

    Amber,

    Just amazing!

    hi amber! love these… and she’s a GORGEOUS girl. Especially love the yellow flower in her hair too. Great job!

    I have known you through Sara’s words and you have spent the last nine months making a wonderful, indelible impression on Sara. You captured her essence through your lens; and as importantly through your kind words (hubby’s also, probably). We also believe that life’s meaning is glorifying God. You have provided my family a lifetime, cherished gift with your camera, your optimism and your belief in our Sara. I will make sure Sara stays connected to you. Thank you for being part of her life, having a positive influence on her and we will never, ever forget you. Sara’s dad Robert

Girls Just Want to Have Fun: Trash the Prom Dress

I think girls really do just want to have fun. We love to laugh, dress up for each other and feel beautiful. A trash-the-prom-dress at the beach with six high school girls equals way too much fun! These fabulous high schoolers are smart, fabulous and have watched way too many episodes of America’s Next Top Model….

    Wow you weren’t kidding about the yellow trailer and bike, what a great find. I love all the color contrast while she was in the purple outfit. Also I like the video clips of you taking her picture during the session, very cool.
