Tori and Blake

This is the sort of session that makes me love being a photographer. It wasn't about posing or lighting...it was all about keeping up!!! :) It was pretty evident, the first few seconds we were at the park, that Tori wasn't going to sit still for anyone!! Thank goodness for image stabilization ; )

Crawling after big sister!

Such a beautiful boy!!

Hiding in the flowers during our game of chase.

More chase....at least I wasn't the once chasing this time :)

" I see you!!!!" (hee hee)

You really have to click on this picture to see her expression! It's priceless!!!

Thanks so much Deon, for the fun shoot!! My little guy was worn out and took a nice long nap when we were done!!!

4/6 Home Coming!

There have only be a few occasions where I've solicited Op Love sessions. This is one of them!
Phyllis is my husband's unit's FSRA. She's the sweetest woman you'll ever meet and completely unassuming. My husband joined his unit going on 6 months now and not ONCE have I heard her complain about her husband's 15 month long deployment!!! Oh yeah, have I mentioned that she has two children??? She's amazing and it was just such a huge honor to be apart of the redeployment ceremony!

The plane landing on McChord! (This is a photo of a screen @ the hanger that they were feeding images to.)

Catching a glimpse of dad!

News interview

Phyllis talking to her husband.....they were on their way to the hanger!!!!

Welcome Home!!!!

Janine and Family!

Janine is a "magazine" pregnant woman. You know, the women who are skinny all over and have a great belly. They are expecting a little boy any day now!!!

Using those Marine Corps muscles!!

These two are my FAVORITES!!

Melissa, Joesel and family

Today I got to hang out with Melissa, Joesel and the kids. For Melissa's sake, I won't show you any of the two dozen pictures I have of Joesel goofing while Melissa was being pretty for the camera. When you work with Washington felons all day, you really need to be able to let lose around your family and friends!

Melissa and I were pregnant at the same time and her little girl was born just a few weeks after mine.

Doesn't this picture melt your heart?? Such a proud big brother!!!

The third baby : )

Natalie and Girls

Natalie, you have got your hands FULL!!! These girls were B-U-S-Y!!!
Today's shoot was done at the Adriana Hess Wetlands. Unfortunately, I'm not sure we really got the best of the wetlands. It was just TOO hot out to do much exploring.

Andrea, Clinton and Family

Clinton and Andrea, thank you for letting me photograph your beautiful family.

Clinton, you'll be in our thoughts and prayers every day for the next 365 + and we'll see you again when you're safe at home!!

This little guy is just shy of two months. I'm saving the cream of the crop photos for his dad :)

I love this picture. I think it says a lot about who's in charge in this house ; )

OH yea, he LAUNCHED that little boy!

One day this little fella is going to realize just how hard those boots are to fill.

Gabrielle and Bella

Not only is Cynthia hilarious, totally down to earth and SO SO easy to talk to, she also makes GORGEOUS children!!! Thank SO much for holding my Gabrielle while I chased the girls around :) They were so much fun to photograph!

Christopher and the girls.
