Conner: Moses Lake High School Senior Photography

Posted in SeniorsTags: ,

So in case you haven’t noticed, it’s been snowing here. A lot. But hey, when you’ve got the Moses Lake High School yearbook deadline breathing down your neck, you can’t wait around for the weather to cooperate. It’s January 12 in case you’re wondering.

Enter Conner. Six inches of new snow. No problem. Slippery roads and heavy fog. No problem. Snowed over photo locations. Well, you get the point. This guy wasn’t taking no for an answer. The result: awesome pictures.  Anyone can get their senior portraits done when the weather is a balmy 85 degrees. But it takes an adventurous soul, and lets face it, a little bit of healthy procrastination, to get pictures as cool as the weather in December.

Blake : Othello Baby Photographer

Posted in BabiesTags: ,

This cutie patootie sure knows how to rock the ‘hawk with her hairdo. I just wanted to gobble her up she’s so sweet. Can you believe it’s been four months already? Just look how much baby Blake has changed from her newborn session.  I do so love this age when babies start smiling and interacting with the big wide world. Because of the coming holiday, we went with a festive look for these images.  Plus it was a good excuse to get pictures of the other “kids”, the family’s two adorable French Bulldogs.

Enjoy!

The “Z” Family : Richland Family Photography

Posted in Babies, Children, FamiliesTags: , , , ,

Meet the “Z” Family. They’re a fun lot who are up for anything no matter what the weather. We originally planned to do this session just before Thanksgiving, and then the big snow storms started hitting. Fast forward almost two weeks later, and the snow was still there. That’s almost unheard of for this area. You won’t catch me complaining because it made for some very cool pictures. However, as I write this, it’s raining outside, melting all that gorgeous snow away. Well it was nice while it lasted, and I have the pictures to prove it.

Enjoy!

Welcome Baby Adelle : Columbia Basin Newborn Photography

Posted in Just Because, NewbornsTags:

As promised here are more images of my Addie. She’s a sweet little thing. A smiler, as you can see. Everyone keeps asking me how it’s going the second time around, and truthfully I couldn’t be happier. Everything has been so much easier with her. I don’t know if it’s a credit to my considerably more developed newborn skills, or just her sweetheart personality. Either way I’m not complaining.

Her big brother just adores her too, calling her his, “new best friend.” He hasn’t shown an inch of jealousy, either. Sadly, though, I don’t have any good pictures yet of the two of them together. The day after we came home from the hospital he got pink eye.  He was just getting over that when he came down with the stomach flu (I’m pretty sure he got it when we went to the doctor’s office the first time.) Let’s just say I felt like I was married to my washing machine, Lysol wipes, and hand sanitizer as I tried to keep her from catching anything from her brother. Poor guy, all he wanted to do was snuggle her. He’s all better now though, so I’ll have to do another session with just the two of them. Won’t that be fun!
