congratulations to our 2010 model contest winners

Congratulations goes to Kacey from Kentlake and Sammy from Kentridge. They both got the most votes from 12 High School Senior professional photographers from across the nation. These two lucky models win $100 and a photo shoot in August by some fabulous photographers. 2010 will be a great year to be a senior.

Liam's first official shoot

Today we did a little mini session with Liam. What fun! Here he is at 6 days old!

Lori and Russ

Not to take the spotlight away from the most important little guy in the world, I did shoot a session today with Lori and Russ. They ran off and got married and didn't tell me until after. I'm not upset...really I'm not!!! Anyway this was my wedding gift to them. Congratulations Russ and Lori.....

My tuscan wall

This is part of my outdoor studio. I'm still getting used to shooting out there. Scott is the painter that painted this masterpiece. I'm so in love with it. And looking at one of my 2010 senior models you can see why. It is fabulous. Thanks so much Scott!!!

Meet Kaleigh

Kaleigh is a 2009 Graduate from Enumclaw High School. I just want to say "wow" I took way too many images and it was really hard to get through them because there wasn't a bad picture in the bunch. I think her family can attest to that because we all had a hard time narrowing them down. Here are a couple of my favorites.

Meet Kacey

Today I got to shoot some images of one of my models. We had fun finding a few new places to shoot. Hope you enjoy these Kacey!

Meet Blake

Ok ok ok Blake is my son but he will be a senior next year. We went into my NEW outdoor garden and took a few images. The weather was wonderful today. I'm loving the new garden studio. Be watching for even more images.

Meet Courtney

What a day. It rained, the sun came out, it rained and then it downpoured. Courtney and I barely got started outside the heavens opened up and just poured. In my head I wasn't done but the weather just said "yes you are". But we still have some great shots and here are a few sneak peaks!! Enjoy

Meet Dane

What an eventful day! Parts of it I would like to forget. But photographing Dane's senior portraits was NOT one of them. He was so much fun and totally willing to do anything I asked him to. Yes even stand on top of garbage cans. We had a great time and I found a new wall to shoot on!

Meet Banditt and Butler

I know I haven't posted in some time and I've had a lot of sessions. I'm working on a new blog and keep hoping to start posting on that but it still isn't ready yet. Last Sat. I got to photograph two long haired dauchshunds and Charlie. These two little dogs had tons of energy and it was fun rounding them up. Charlie you are going to love so many of these images!!! Enjoy these sneak peaks!

Ok this is just for fun. Today I bought a new lens and I Love it!!! This is Mr Darcy and I love the depth of field this new lens creates. The next image is inside my new outdoor garden. The colorful walls are courtsey of Michelle's cool wall in Arizona. Just a little play time for ME tonight. Hope you enjoy

Meet Janessa

Tonight I shot Janessa's senior pictures. She was a pro...great smile and great NO smile. We had fun! 2010 seniors I'm looking for models for next year. Contact me soon for information.

a couple from my trip

I was lucky enough to fly to Tucson this last weekend to help a photographer friend, Michelle, with some photography. And as an added bonus I was able to stop in SLC to see my daughter and her husband. I also got to shoot with Tina. Here are a couple of the images.

My latest team pictures

I'm just finishing up my images from a club volleyball team that I did. I have three seniors next week. Things are starting to gear up for seniors.... and I'm looking for models so contact me if you are a 2010 senior.

I went to a boudour photo seminar in Portland

And learned some great techniques for pin up and boudour sessions! Can't wait to really play with them. Here are a few.
