If you are interested in a shoot with me this summer please call asap I only have two dates in June, three in July left and August has a few spots too. September is starting to book up and those spots will go quickly so don’t wait to call.

This cute family came to me for newborn and kid sister photos and while Momma was nursing I took sweet little 3 year old Morgan out to play. She was so much fun and was so easy going it made my job easy! Her month old sister Riley on the other hand had other plans and we only got a few shots of her. My fav is another hammock shot.

Enjoy!

Cuteness! I have had so many newborn shoots lately with each bringing it’s own sweetness and creativity.

These two have some images that take the cake!

Meet Kylie and Bentley. I’m in LOVE with the lips on these two! So kissable!

Newborn photography requires lots of time and patience, but the images are worth the wait. I especially appreciate those who allow me to push the envelope a little so the images are true works of art. Thank you.

Enjoy!

We had an awesome weekend in Anchorage with our cousins! It was my cousin Justine and her husband Ryan’s son Beck’s baptism and we had the wonderful honor of being his Godparents. The service was a beautiful, private ceremony with close family and friends and were were so happy we got to be a part of his special holy day! I can’t wait to see photos! The other exciting reason we headed down was for my cousin, Nicholas’ first art show which was held at an adorable coffee shop called Coffee Cats. Nicholas’ work is incredible and it was so great to see his collection hanging. What a treat!

The weather was amazing and I had so much fun photographing all the cousins playing together at the BBQ celebrating Beck’s baptism. I’ll post some images here, but to see the full gallery of 60 images click here.

Our drive down and back was beautiful…the mountains were spectacular, the budding leaves were just showing their pretty green faces and the 12 moose, two porcupine and lots of rabbits stayed out of our way.

What a great trip!

Enjoy!

I couldn’t wait to share these two sneaks of baby Drake. At 9 days old he took some coaxing to get to sleep, but once he was out he was so easy to work with! Never-mind the fact that I had to put a little spit on his knees to make sure he wouldn’t slide off the guitar, don’t judge, it worked and the shot was SOOOO worth it! So what if he pooped on me, peed on the backdrop and peed on dad! We had a perfect session and I’m excited to capture him as he grows!

I have a bunch of babies on the schedule so stay tuned for more sneak peeks!

Enjoy!

Today’s Monday me is a few of my recent favorite workout videos.  I fell in love with working out for the first time in my adult life by following Jillian Michael’s 30 day Shred. It’s a 28 minute workout that incorporates a five minute warm-up, 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio and 1 minute of abs three times then a 5 minute cool down. It’s a full body killer workout and all you need is 5 pound weights. I started doing it in June of last year and did it occasionally throughout the summer. In September I made a goal to do it for 30 days straight just to see what would happen. I took my measurements and weighed myself and off I went. After 30 days of no breaks and alternating levels each day I re-measured and the results were crazy! In my waist alone I lost 2 1/2 inches. The results were all over. Funny thing though I only dropped a few pounds. The difference was in inches and all my clothes fit differently. From then on I started to feel funny if I didn’t get a workout in so I kept it up. It’s now May and I am now 12 weeks pregnant and though I’ve switched up my routine I am still enjoying my exercise. I have shifted more to yoga, walking and eliptical since about January. I also bought Jillian’s Yoga Melt Down and it is awesome too! My favorite yoga video is called Yogalosophy and it’s by Mandy Ingber who is Jennifer Aniston’s trainer. All the video’s I do are 30 minutes so there is no feeling of it going on for too long. Yogalosophy is a slow workout that works every muscle in the body. It’s a killer full body workout without the cardio burn. The yoga I am practicing isn’t traditional yoga, it takes traditional poses keeps you moving through them to work the muscles. I am feeling awesome and hope that the extra strength I’ve gained will make this pregnancy even more wonderful than the last. I hope this inspires you and gives you the extra boost you were looking for today. I can tell you it feels good to actually find something I have enjoyed doing! Check the videos out below.

Enjoy!
