Four dogs looking at the camera at the same time. I think each and every one of them needs to be given a bone. :)

engagement portrait in colorado

I couldn’t wait to get home and proof this one. Brian and Naomi just got engaged.

Brian is our friend Laura’s brother, and we spent the weekend at their family’s cabin in the mountains. It was Brian’s idea to drive to this run-down cabin, and I’m so glad he thought of it. I couldn’t have been more excited when I got out of the car and saw this scene in front of me!

I had a great time taking portraits, but I think the weekend will live on in my memory mostly for the hilarious game of Cranium that we played on Saturday night. The highlight of the event was when three of us were desperately trying to act out “waterbed” only to have everyone keep guessing things like “seizure.”

It was also memorable, because it’s my first large group family portrait without little kids! I love the little ones, but there’s something so thrilling about saying “okay–everyone look at the camera” and having everyone actually do it! :)

And here’s one from my shoot with Shannon, the youngest family member:

birthday buddies

Aug 05, 2007

This little guy and I are not only cousins, we’re birthday buddies. We share the same birthday…just nineteen years apart. While in Seattle, I shot a session with my extended family, but they’ve been having to patiently await any sneak peeks, since my clients are first in line. Sorry guys!

So here’s one of my birthday buddy…

And his baby sister. Who came just days from being my guy’s birthday buddy!

I even snatched a couple of her smiling…though I’m pretty sure she would deny it. To prove otherwise…

(There should be zero doubt now about which side of the family my little one’s bluer than blue eyes come from!)
