If you’re happy and you know it, just scream! | Kirkland, WA Photographer

I didn’t tell them to scream (I don’t think-but who knows). When I look at this I love their happy faces. Our goal was to capture their family with a Seattle landmark. Well, there is that Space Needle! They were enjoying their time together dancing, jumping, and singing YMCA, while watching some other camera hog lady jump and show off on her trampoline moves in front of this monument. To be honest, we were all sort of captivated by this lady. Who was she? Why was she so important? I was having equipment envy-her photographer came with all sorts of odds and ins that made his photo session smooth and seamless. So, if anything-I know she had a photographer that knew what he was doing.

So, back to my subjects… they were much more interesting because they have two adorable girls, one “pretend to be no so into the pictures husband,” and a spirited mama who can spark up a conversation with anybody, even if it is just about how she styles her bangs! What a lovely time at Kerry Park in Seattle!

Eating Lunchables

My conversations with kids during pictures is nothing short of entertaining! I loved his answers when I asked him how he is growing so big and strong… “I eat Lunchables!” We had lots to chat about but I was most impressed by his dedication to lunchables. : )

Dirty at the junkyard | Queen Creek, AZ Photographer

Talk about energy! He had energy oozing out from him. I tried to keep up but you see, I am much older. : ( He is so handsome and so is his mother. Ok, not handsome but gorgeous. When we met at the junkyard, I knew that he would be interested in everything! His hands show that he did indeed play and probably climbed on some things that haven’t been touched in years. I loved it… no fear-just curiosity! The nice man who owns this junkyard brought out a bucket of water and some Tide soap so he could clean up. Now, that is a hostest with the mostest!

What’s next? | Queen Creek, AZ Photographer

Each time I have the privilege of photographing this family, I count it as a blessing. It is a session full of laughs and jokes. They always keep me smiling and I never know what they will do next! Their youngest is a gem-ready with a sassy pose at all times. She is front and center-ready to roll. The others… the are occupied. : ) Thank you for such a great time at the classy junkyard.

The archives | Queen Creek, AZ Photographer

I love going back, reviewing the past. I often find pictures that didn’t stick with me the first time I viewed them. As I change, I find myself liking images that may not have impacted me on round one. So, you can understand why round two (maybe three and four) is needed. ; ) So, I remember being in this family’s backyard and while some of the members were putting on shoes or finalizing their last minute preparations for pictures, I took a stroll with the ones that were ready. We were getting a grasp on lighting. They were so accommodating and cooperative. Maybe there was no pressure, they were simply allowing me to “get ready” for pictures. Typically the bottom of shoes isn’t a pleasant view and maybe frowned upon (and possibly offensive in some cultures??) but aren’t rules made to be broken? : )

Holiday mini sessions | Queen Creek, AZ photographer

As I was preparing this little nugget, I had to stop and wow at the fact that it is already time to start thinking about the holidays. Well, I suppose it’s only time if you don’t want to fall behind. : ) The end of the year can get so full, so busy and so complicated. I’m excited to be in the Queen Creek area for some mini sessions on November 11, 12, 13. The mini session will include a digital image since many like to design their own holiday greetings. If you prefer to NOT do your own, you can substitute the digital image for other products including customized cards. I have a limited number of appointments remaining so if you are interested, call or email me!

The Perfectly Posed | Mesa, AZ Photography

I usually have children running to and fro… but these guys were experienced. They have this perfect “huddle” pose. It was like they had been doing this for years. We grab a spot, I set up my camera, look up, and they are in position, ready to roll.
